BROKEN ORANGE PEKOE

A well-known leaf size that assists in bringing out a balanced balance of flavour and power. A neat, well-made leaf with medium size but without excessive stalks or fibre. There shouldn't be small particles (fanning and dust) that aren't true to grade.
It is a transparent leaf of medium-sized black tea, which has the colour red and has a distinct flavour within the teacup. It is a drink that can be consumed without or with milk.
The well-known Ceylon teas grow in the mountains that are located in Dimbula and Uva, which is where the majority of BOP teas are made. But it is also made with low mountain tea plants where an unpleasant taste and dark cups can be observed.
BOP Special is the most acceptable kind of tea made of a neater, smaller broken leaf without other particles. The tea is slightly larger than the typical Broken Orange Pekoe variant from the Kandy region. This particular grade has been constructed to maintain a sleeker appearance. This tea is desired by drinkers who like a robust alcohol. In appearance, this tea is more compact than less slick. After brewing, this tea is characterized by a strong flavour and aroma. The liquor typically is bright reddish in colour and is robust with a distinctive, delicate flavour.

TEA EXPERIENCE

LIQUOR

AROMA

Immensely floral, reminiscent of geranium, white lily with soft notes of fresh melons and lavender

 

APPEARANCE

Champagne

 

TASTE

The liquor is very smooth, light-bodied and tipped with fresh floral attributes. Delicate notes of aromatic flowers similar to geranium and white lilies can be perceived right from the start which gradually grows into prominence and gives the liquor a rich, floral character. Easing towards the end, subtle undertones of ripe tropical fruits are discernible which complements the supremely floral aromatics of the cup. Muted hints of lavender come through in the aftertaste, rendering a refreshing feel on the palate. The second steep is just as flavorful and recommended with ice for a truly sublime experience.

 

COMPLEMENTS
