Description

Orange Pekoe denotes a large-leaved tea, and the dark, even leaves of this tea are indicative of Ceylon. Just a touch of delicate high-grown tea is added to the more robust low-grown leaves to create a medium-strength brew – ideal for an afternoon pick-me-up.

Tasting Notes
Our Ceylon Orange Pekoe is a large-leaved tea, made from a combination of delicate high-grown tea and more robust low-grown leaves. Delicious when paired with fresh summer fruits like strawberries, or enjoyed as part of a continental breakfast.
