George Steuart Regional BOP Collection 2 brings together three Ceylon black teas grown at very different heights, from the low country to the high hills. Each comes as BOP grade loose leaf in a 50 g pack.
In the pack
- Kandy BOP, 50 g: mid-grown; a bright, coppery infusion, strong and full-bodied.
- Ruhuna BOP, 50 g: low-grown in the south of the island; full-flavoured and distinctive.
- Uda Pussellawa BOP, 50 g: high-grown, east of Nuwara Eliya; a darker tea with a pinkish hue, more strength and a tangy edge.
The grade
BOP is a small broken leaf, so all three brew fast and strong.
How to brew
Allow one level teaspoon, about 2 g, of leaf per cup of freshly boiled water and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. All three take milk well.
Storage
Close each pack after use and keep them in a cool, dry cupboard, away from strong smells.
