Nilgiri BOP Tea

A small leaf, wonderfully fragrant black tea from the Quinshola garden, in the Nilgiri Hills of southern India, which reveals the characteristic, well-rounded flavours of a Nilgiri. Medium-bodied, with the strength of an Assam, Nilgiri BOP can be enjoyed all through the day.

The “BOP” refers to a particular grade of tea, “Broken Orange Pekoe”, part of the Orange Pekoe category of tea grade, one of the highest black tea grades available. BOP leaves are indeed broken, allowing for a faster release of flavours and aroma during the brewing process, resulting in a stronger and robust flavour.

The Nilgiri region is known for its cool temperatures, high altitude and good rainfall, which provide ideal growing conditions. During production the tea leaves are plucked from the bushes that grow on the Nilgiri Hills, before being processed using traditional methods of withering, rolling and oxidation. The leaves are then sorted and graded by size and quality.
