Description
Key attributes
Orthodox Ceylon black tea in the larger leaf grades: OP, OPA, Pekoe and FBOP. Leaf grades brew a lighter, more fragrant cup than broken grades and are used for loose-leaf retail and blending.
Final specification is agreed against a sample. Minimum order 1,000 kg per grade. Price on request through the SriLankaExport trade desk.
Reading the grades
- OP (Orange Pekoe): long, wiry leaf
- OPA: a bolder, longer leaf than OP
- Pekoe: shorter, curled leaf
- FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe): a broken leaf that can carry tips
