Story

The term "Orange Pekoe" in tea doesn't actually refer to the flavour or presence of oranges. Rather, it's a grading term used to classify whole-leaf black tea. The story of Orange Pekoe tea is rooted in the history of tea grading and trade. During the colonial era, the British East India Company dominated the tea trade, particularly in regions like India and Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon). To standardise quality and pricing, the company established a grading system for tea leaves.

"Orange Pekoe" refers to the highest grade of black tea, consisting of young, tender leaves picked early in the flush. The term "orange" is believed to be a reference to the Dutch House of Orange-Nassau, rather than the fruit. "Pekoe" is thought to be derived from a Chinese term referring to a special type of tea leaf.

Tea leaves classified as Orange Pekoe are typically whole, unbroken leaves, with a delicate flavour and aroma. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't denote a specific flavor profile but rather a high standard of leaf quality.
