Impra Royal Elixir Knight is a big-leaf Ceylon black tea graded OP — Orange Pekoe — which means the leaves are whole, unbroken, and long rather than the dust or fannings found in most commercial tea bags. The result in the cup is a brew with more body and less astringency than everyday grocery tea, carrying the true character of the leaf rather than simply its colour.
The blend is made from 100% pure Ceylon black tea, flavoured with 1001 Knight and Earl Grey flavours, giving it a distinctly aromatic quality that sets it apart from a plain single-estate pour. The tea is classified as a finest blend and carries on-pack the phrase 'True flavour and aroma of Ceylon', which is a fair description of what OP-grade Sri Lankan leaf delivers when properly prepared.
Behind the brand is Imperial Tea Exports (Pvt) Ltd, based at Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, a company that has been exporting Ceylon tea since 1994 and now distributes the Impra range to more than fifty countries. The manufacturing facility holds FSSC 22000 certification, a rigorous food-safety management standard covering the full process from manufacturing through packaging and dispatch.
Preparing a cup is straightforward: use freshly drawn water brought to a full boil, measure the leaves into a warmed pot or infuser, and allow them the time they need to open fully — whole OP leaves benefit from a slightly longer steep than broken-grade teas. The pack advises storing the tea in a cool, dry place to preserve its aroma between uses.
The Royal Elixir Knight is available in several formats on this page, including a 200 g pack and a 250 g pack, as well as a 100-tea-bag option and a pack of six 250 g units for those who prefer to stock up. All are packed in Sri Lanka by Imperial Tea Exports and carry the same Ceylon tea credentials.
