Firm price by grade

US dollars per kg, FOB Colombo, at the quantity shown and above. Each grade is priced on its own, so a 500 kg lot of BOP is US$7,625. We confirm the price, lead time and validity in writing before you pay.

The grades

• BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe): a broken leaf that brews a strong, bright cup, for loose-leaf retail and breakfast blends.

• Dust: the finest grade, for fast-brewing tea bags and food service.
