Brewing Instructions
Broken Orange Pekoe Fannings — the smallest grade we make. Fine particles mean a fast brew and a deep coppery pour.
Measure
4 g per cup
Water
200 ml
Heat
100 °C
Steep
3–4 min
- Second steep
- No — the leaf gives everything at once
- Leaf form
- Loose leaf
- Water
- Filtered; hard water dulls the colour
One thing worth knowing — Cinnamon and ginger keep giving long after the leaf has stopped. Four minutes is the ceiling — past that the spice takes the cup over.
Ceylon Highlands · Strathspey
From Strathspey Estate
Strathspey lies among the cool highlands of Ceylon, where fertile soils and a temperate climate shape teas of depth and character. Its elevation encourages a balanced cup with a refined aroma, smooth body and a distinctive expression of the estate.
