PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP) is a high-quality grade of black tea made from carefully selected young tea leaves that are finely processed into smaller broken leaf particles. This grade of tea is well known for its strong, brisk flavor, rich color, and quick infusion, making it ideal for blending and tea bags.
