OPA (Orange Pekoe A) is a premium Orthodox tea grade made up of the largest, boldest, and most well-twisted whole leaves. It produces a light, clear liquor with a delicate aroma and smooth flavor. Unlike finer grades, OPA tea has less strength but offers exceptional clarity and elegance in the cup. Its long, wiry leaves retain much of the tea’s natural character, making it ideal for those who appreciate mild, refined brews. OPA is highly valued in specialty and export markets for its superior appearance and gentle taste.
