Director's Cut

Orthodox Black Tea

$29.95
$29.95

Premium-grade black tea produced by the traditional orthodox method, with whole rolled leaf, delicate sweetness and a smooth, refined finish.

Loose Leaf80g Canister

A single-origin black tea, grown on the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland and made by the orthodox method, in which the leaf is rolled whole rather than cut. Orthodox production has long been prized for the way it keeps a leaf intact, releasing flavour slowly and finishing lighter than cut-leaf grades. The result is a delicate cup with real length to it. Whole rolled leaf also means the tea keeps giving after the first pour, so a warmed pot goes further than the small canister suggests, and the cup finishes clean rather than drying.

A premium orthodox black tea, with notes of honey, stone fruit and a smooth, refined finish.

Measure: One teaspoon per 250ml
Brew Time: 3 to 5 minutes
Water Temperature: 100°C
Best Enjoyed: On its own, without milk, so the delicacy is not lost.

Available as loose leaf in an 80g canister.

Bought directors cut orthodox but got directors cut black

Not the tea I expected bought at the cafe and just loved it the tea I received was very mediocre. I bought at the cafe and loved the orthodox directors cut especially because it was a rough cut ant pure bliss. Must say I bought three and both the flavour and the cut disappointed. Must admit I bought it back during our covid times, but the product should remain true to what was always produced. The tin I received is mainly small cut with a smattering of the larger cut, I am disappointed. I live in Cairns and my order came via Brisbane, I could have driven up and got it in under 2 hours and saved the postage charges. But if the tea is not as it used to be to be I will have to source a good black tea elsewhere it makes me sad as a local I love to support our own companies.

My Daily Exlixir

I have just started drinking the Director's Cut Orthodox Black Loose Leaf tea along with the Orthodox Oolong Tea after a couple of large caddies of the Director's Cut Single Origin Orange Pekoe. I can't pass a day now without cups of all three. They are smooth, very satisfying, and thirst quenching. I rank these teas from Nerada as equal to the best, all at reasonable prices. I am a Nerada tea addict!!! Thank you.
