George Steuart Regional BOP Collection 1 puts three high-grown Ceylon black teas side by side, so you can taste how the districts differ. Each is BOP grade loose leaf in its own 50 g pack.
In the pack
- Dimbula BOP, 50 g: from the western slopes of the hill country; a fine golden-orange cup, mellow and refreshing.
- Nuwara Eliya BOP, 50 g: from the highest district; the palest Ceylon tea, golden and delicately fragrant.
- Uva BOP, 50 g: from the eastern slopes; mellow and smooth, with a distinctive taste.
The grade
BOP, Broken Orange Pekoe, is a small broken leaf that brews quickly and strongly.
How to brew
For a fair comparison, brew each tea the same way: one level teaspoon, about 2 g, per cup of freshly boiled water for 3 to 5 minutes. Taste them plain first, then with milk.
Storage
Keep each pack closed in a cool, dry place, away from strong smells.
