About
Our Organic Ceylon BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) Tea is a full-bodied, richly flavoured black tea sourced from certified organic tea gardens in Sri Lanka. BOP grade refers to the small, broken leaf pieces that produce a strong, quick-brewing cup with a deep amber colour and brisk, malty character — making it an excellent base for English Breakfast blends, chai, and milk teas.
This tea carries both our SCX Organic Certification (Cert No. 24041) and a Rainforest Alliance certified endorsement, reflecting our commitment to responsibly sourced, traceable ingredients. Ideal for wholesalers, tea blenders, cafés and food manufacturers seeking a high-quality certified organic black tea in bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does BOP grade mean?
BOP stands for Broken Orange Pekoe — a black tea grade that uses small, broken leaf pieces rather than whole leaves. This produces a stronger, faster-brewing cup with more surface area for extraction, resulting in the rich, full-bodied character Ceylon BOP is known for.
Is this tea certified organic?
Yes. Tea Ceylon BOP Organic is covered under The Herbal Connection's active SCX Organic Certification No. 24041. It also carries a Rainforest Alliance certified endorsement. Our certificate and current product schedule can be verified at sxcertified.com.au.
Can I use this for teabag production?
Yes — BOP grade is one of the most commonly used grades for teabag manufacture due to its fine, consistent particle size. Contact sales@herbalconnection.com.au to discuss bulk volumes, specifications and pricing for production runs.
Is documentation available for wholesale orders?
Yes. Certificates of analysis, country of origin documentation and organic certification records are available on request for all wholesale orders. Email sales@herbalconnection.com.au with your requirements.
