The blend
Although the tea produces a pale orange colour once it is made, the name, Orange Pekoe, is deceptively not a reference to an orange flavour but to the leaf size. This is a grading of a large leafed Ceylon tea. Considered one of the best tasting teas, Ceylon has a distinct flavour, aroma and strength.
The taste
A tea that is full of character, Ceylon Orange Pekoe has a rich fragrance, a crisp aroma and a brisk flavour.
The benefit
Black tea contains polyphenols, a type of antioxidant. Caffeine and an amino acid called L-theanine are also found in black tea, which is said can improve alertness and focus – even more than coffee!
The moment
A fine tea to present to guests when they visit, whether you are entertaining over breakfast, afternoon tea or have just finished dinner.
The creation
Using traditional methods of blending and tasting, this tea has been carefully crafted by the Miles team, using Miles experTeas!
Based on the edge of Exmoor and on Somerset’s coastline, we take inspiration from our beautiful surroundings to create a cuppa that embodies a little escape, evoking memories of a holiday in the West Country, with each sip. Our attention to detail and experience ensures a consistent, flavourful tea that will see you constantly topping up your mug.
We are founding members of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP). The ETP is a not-for-profit organisation, which convenes tea companies, developing agencies, governmental and non-governmental organisations to improve the lives of communities within the tea sector. Each purchase directly helps to provide better living and working conditions for those working in the tea trade.
