About This Blend
Our Imperial Orange Pekoe blends incorporate important regional mid-grown teas - Nuwara Eliya and Uva harvests, which are blended for clarity and the unique complexity found only in Ceylon varietals. Following the traditional classification, we only use FOP (Flowery Orange Pekoe) and GFOP (Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) grades to make this connoisseur version of Orange Pekoe.
