Uva Highlands BOP offers a full-bodied black tea with malty structure, a slight menthol lift and spicy, lightly fruity notes. It is a satisfying choice for mid-morning or afternoon brewing.

Everyday Ceylon black tea

Orange Pekoe is a versatile t leaf T blend of selected Sri Lankan Orange Pekoe teas. It brews to a beautiful golden liquor with a bold yet smooth flavour and subtle oak character.

Earl Grey tea

Earl Grey Organic combines Ceylon black tea with a light, natural bergamot character. It is a classic choice for tea drinkers who enjoy a fragrant black tea with gentle citrus notes.

For a caffeine-reduced option, choose Earl Grey DECAF. It offers full-bodied Ceylon tea character with bergamot flavour and a maximum caffeine content of 0.4 percent, according to the product information.

Decaffeinated breakfast tea

English Breakfast DECAF is a medium-bodied blend of Ceylon tea leaves with an elegant malty character. It is a useful option when you want a traditional breakfast tea without the usual caffeine level.
