Choosing

Strong or Premium BOPF

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

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.

Choose loose tea when you want to adjust the amount or prepare a pot. Choose tea bags for quick cup-by-cup preparation.

Keep it fresh

Tea can absorb moisture and nearby odours and can gradually lose aroma during storage. The pack is selected to help reduce exposure to moisture, air, light and strong odours.

After opening, close the pack tightly and keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strong smells.
