Black Orange Pekoe Tea
€ 2,20 – € 8,80
INCL. VAT
Origin: Sri Lanka
- 3gr/200ml
- 95°C
- 2-3 min infuse
This Orange Pekoe is a black tea with a full, not broken, rolled up tea leaf hand picked from the high tea gardens in Nuwara Eliya district in Sri Lanka (up to 5000m). This indicates the finest quality of Ceylon tea and makes for a beautiful, slightly copper-colored drink with an invigorating, less bitter taste. These tea leaves oxidize after picking and rolling. The duration of oxidation results in the degree of strength in black tea.
Despite the name, this tea does not contain an orange flavor. “Orange Pekoe” is a term used to sort the size and quality of dried black tea leaves. “Ceylon” is the previous name of the country from which it is grown, now Sri Lanka, a small island in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lankan tea is unique in that the country’s warm, sunny climate is perfectly balanced with the right amount of rain to produce tea with a wide range of flavor and color.
