Description

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

Buying questions

Which documents come with the shipment?

Every export shipment carries a certificate of origin. Ask the desk which other certificates your country requires.

Can I check quality before a bulk order?

Yes. Start with a sample or trial lot. We can also arrange a pre-shipment inspection or an independent lab test for any order.

How do I pay?

You agree payment terms directly with the exporter on the quote, and pay the exporter. Larger orders are usually paid by letter of credit.
