Descripiton

Macofa BOP Tea Powder is a broken-leaf black tea from the high-altitude gardens around Munnar, where cool nights and heavy mist slow the leaf and concentrate the flavour. Smaller leaf particles release colour and strength quickly, giving you a strong cup in under three minutes.

Who it's for: Ideal if you want a proper strong chai without waiting. Suits anyone who takes tea with milk and sugar, and households that brew several cups a day.

Taste profile: Brisk and full-bodied with a deep amber liquor. Strong enough to carry milk and spices without thinning out.

How to enjoy it: One teaspoon per cup, boiling water, steep for 3 minutes. Add milk and sugar to taste, or brew as masala chai with ginger, cardamom, and clove.

Ingredients: 100% Black Tea (BOP grade)

Allergen info: Packed in a facility that also handles nuts and milk products.

Shelf life: Best before 12 months from packing. Store in an airtight container, away from moisture, sunlight and strong odours.

FAQs

What does BOP mean?

BOP stands for Broken Orange Pekoe — a grade of black tea where leaves are broken into smaller pieces rather than left whole. Broken leaf releases flavour faster, giving a stronger, darker cup than whole leaf tea.

How is BOP different from CTC?

BOP is broken leaf; CTC is machine-processed into granules. CTC brews strongest and fastest; BOP sits between CTC and whole leaf — strong, but with more of the leaf character intact. Try our Macofa Tea Powder CTC if you want maximum strength.

Is it good for masala chai?

Yes. BOP has enough body to stand up to milk, sugar, and spices without the tea flavour disappearing.

How much should I use per cup?

One level teaspoon per 150ml cup. Increase slightly if you brew with a lot of milk.

How should I store it?

In an airtight container away from sunlight, moisture, and strong-smelling foods. Tea absorbs odours easily.
