1. Introduction to Black Tea OP

Black Tea OP (Orange Pekoe) is one of the highest-quality grades of black tea, consisting of long, whole leaves without tips. Cultivated in the famous tea regions of Vietnam such as Lam Dong and Thai Nguyen, our OP grade is harvested from the top leaves of the tea bush, ensuring a refined and well-balanced flavor profile.

At Vinahugo, our Black Tea OP is fully oxidized through a meticulous fermentation process. It is characterized by its large, well-twisted leaves and a rich, copper-colored infusion that appeals to the most discerning tea connoisseurs and industrial blenders worldwide.
