Black Loose-Leaf Tea
Smooth. Clear. Built for Ice.
This Organic, Fair Trade Certified Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP) black tea from Iyerpadi Estate in the Nilgiri Hills of South India is a rare gem—bold enough for iced tea, yet refined enough to impress hot-cup purists. With a smooth, syrupy texture and notes of sweet molasses, raisin, and brown sugar, it strikes a beautiful balance: full-bodied and malty without overwhelming dryness.
Unlike most teas, this one stays crystal clear when cooled. That clarity isn’t just luck, it’s the result of over a century of tradition. Iyerpadi Estate, founded in 1898, still cultivates original China jat (Camellia sinensis) tea bushes at elevations near 4,000 feet. Combined with rich rainfall and expert processing, the result is a tea that brews clean, brisk, and beautifully balanced.
Whether you're crafting a cold brew for summer sipping or seeking a standout hot black tea, this Nilgiri BOP is up to the task.
