04 — Choose your cup

Strong or Premium BOPF — which is right for me?

Choose Strong for a darker, bolder cup that works especially well with milk. Choose Premium BOPF for a bright, lively tea flavour that is especially enjoyable plain and can also be taken with milk.

  • Strong

    Rich and Bold

    Samrin Strong is selected for robust flavour and deep colour. Start here if you usually drink milk tea or enjoy a stronger plain cup.

  • Premium BOPF

    Bright and Full Bodied

    Samrin Premium BOPF gives you a bright, full-bodied cup with a more noticeable tea flavour. It is best appreciated plain, while retaining enough strength for milk.

06 — The story

A new tea, told plainly.

One region, one factory, and a cup strong enough to be worth talking about. Everything here is something we can stand behind.

  • One known factory

    Samrin tea comes from one identified factory in Ruhuna, so the source behind the tea is easy to understand.

  • Not blended across regions

    It is not mixed with teas from unrelated factories or regions simply to create a standardised profile.

  • Tea bags, transparently

    Samrin Tea Factory does not currently have tea-bagging machinery, so the tea travels a short distance to a nearby specialist packing facility.
