And who could blame you?Broken orange pekoe has a distinctive light, golden and fragrant flavour, and is regularly used as a relaxation tool. It’s soothing aroma instantly leaves you feeling calm and more at ease, and as the tea doesn’t cloud at cold temperatures, it is more than suitable to be consumed as iced tea in the summer months.The benefit of buying broken leaves are predominantly for those who enjoy their Darjeeling with milk, as the increased surface area of the leaves makes for a stronger brew.
