The term "broken" refers to the method of cutting the tea leaves to obtain a shorter leaf, leading to a bolder flavour and faster brewing time. This tea is a classic and a beautiful example of broken Orange Pekoe style.

For Australians of a certain generation, "tea" meant Ceylon Broken Orange Pekoe. One of the most common requests we get at the market is for "a tea like the one I grew up with." This is probably it.
