Ceylon BOP 1
Ceylon BOP 1 is a type of black tea known as Ceylon Broken Orange Pekoe. It originates from Sri Lanka, a tropical island formerly known as Ceylon. This tea is characterized by its small leaf size, which is a result of the tea leaves being torn or broken but still recognizable as pieces of tea leaf. It is a strong black tea with a smooth body, offering a full, malty flavor and a lovely, fruity aftertaste. This makes it suitable for consumption at any time of the day.

Ceylon Tea has a rich history dating back to the 19th century when tea was first introduced to Sri Lanka by the British. Prior to 1972, Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon, and this name is still used in the tea industry for trading purposes. The term "Orange Pekoe" is believed to have originated from the Dutch Royal House of Orange-Nassau, used by the Dutch East India Company to market tea in Europe. The word "Pekoe" likely comes from the Chinese term "pek-ho," referring to the silver hairs on certain tea leaves. Sri Lanka's unique climatic and soil conditions make it an ideal place for tea cultivation, contributing to the distinct flavor profile of Ceylon Tea. Today, Ceylon Tea is renowned globally for its quality and is a significant export product for Sri Lanka.
