From Sri Lanka’s Kenilworth Estate, this OP1 black tea delights with a balanced malty sweetness and elegant undertones of dried fruit and smooth chocolate. Its thin, wiry leaves produce a refined cup of golden copper liquor, a bold yet balanced infusion that welcomes milk or sweetener but shines equally well without.
Kenilworth OP1 is a fine example of medium-grown Ceylon tea, cultivated in the lush Dimbula region. Crafted for all-day enjoyment, it’s a classic that welcomes both tradition and indulgence.
Estate & Grading Insight
Kenilworth Tea Estate, named after the English castle, sits in Sri Lanka’s renowned Dimbula tea region. The “OP1” (Orange Pekoe 1) grading signifies carefully rolled whole leaves — long, wiry, and unbroken — prized for their clarity and aromatic strength. This grade ensures a smooth, vibrant liquor with refined character.
Brewing
Pre-heat a cup or teapot. Use 1 tsp per cup or 1 rounded tsp per person for a teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the leaves and infuse for 3-5 minutes. Add milk or sweetener as desired.
