Grading: Broken Orange Pekoe: Main broken grade.
Orange Pekoe refers to the grade of leaf in this black tea. The word Pekoe most likely derives from Chinese “pek-ho” and refers to the silver hairs on leaves of certain types of tea bush. Orange most likely comes from the association with the Dutch Royal House of Orange-Nassau, and was used by the Dutch East India Company to market their tea brought to Europe.
Broken-leaf tea is tea that has been torn or broken, but is still in large enough pieces to be recognizable as pieces of leaf.

Flavoured Black Tea
A smooth and full tasting tea, best served without milk. A strong Chinese tea base has been infused with vanilla oil and mixed with chunks of vanilla pods, smells good enough to eat!
Black Small Leaf
Only for the brave or for those who really want to wake up! PF means that this tea is Pekoe Fannings which is considered a low grade of tea and means that it is pretty much exclusively used in teabags; however we use this tea to blend a lot of our favourite brews because it provides a fiendishly strong edge to any mix.
Black Large Leaf
Keemun Black Aster tea has a claim to fame as being one of the first Chinese teas to be imported into Europe. It is gentle and light, with layers of flavour - both smoky and malty with a hint of nuttiness and responds well to a long brew, don’t be scared to let it sit for up to 4 mins to get the full flavour out of these leaves.
