{"product_id":"ariel-orange-pekoe-keppetipola-black-tea","title":"ARIEL Orange Pekoe Keppetipola","description":"\u003cp\u003eARIEL Orange Pekoe Keppetipola is a single-origin whole leaf black tea from the highlands of Sri Lanka, available in 1 kg bulk for café and retail programs. Keppetipola, in the central highlands, produces Ceylon black tea with bright, clean character and consistent steeping performance. It is a reliable menu tea: easy to prepare, cup after cup, and clear enough on a drinks list to communicate quality to guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup is clear and bright, with a deep amber liquor and moderate astringency that holds up on its own or with milk. Expect classic Ceylon character: clean body, a touch of malt, and a finish with light citrus brightness. The flavour profile is accessible without being flat - a good fit for a standard tea service or an afternoon menu slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeppetipola is a high-grown region in Sri Lanka's Uva Province, known for the clarity and brightness the origin is internationally respected for. Orange Pekoe is the leaf grade - whole, unbroken leaves that steep evenly and yield a clean, consistent infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 200 ml at 95 °C for 3 to 4 minutes.
