Want proper BOP loose-leaf for gifts, not just airport dust. Where do people actually buy decent leaf before flying out.

Reputed tea shops in Colombo or Kandy beat last-minute airport only - sealed packs, clear grade labels.

Ask for BOP specifically and check the pack date. Pretty tins are not a grade.

Keep a soft-sided pouch in carry-on; crushed leaf in checked bags makes sad gifts.
