Black Tea Orange Pekoe

What is Black Tea Orange Pekoe?

Black Tea Orange Pekoe, although the name is "Orange Pekoe", does not refer to oranges, nor does it taste like oranges. In fact, the origin of the name is somewhat uncertain, "Pekoe" may come from a Chinese dialect. Only through the relevant high quality certification, these black tea can be labeled as pekoe. There are several theories as to the origin of the name, but it may come from "peh-ho", which means "white hair or down", referring to the silvery white down that remains on tea leaves and flower buds. Another theory is that it comes from "baihud," which means "white flower," and also refers to the white down of the flower buds. The "orange" part also has some uncertain origins. Sir Thomas Lipton, famous for his Lipton tea, is said to have come up with the name for marketing purposes. Some believe the term refers to the Orange House in Holland, to the Dutch efforts to bring tea west, or simply to give tea an aristocratic air.

Characteristics of Black Tea Orange Pekoe

Regardless of the origin of the name, there are some strict criteria that must be met for black tea to obtain "Orange Pekoe". Tea leaves must be whole leaves of a specific size. To receive the highest level of quality certification, the leaves must come from the newest and freshest leaves available. This will include leaf buds, which are graded through a special screen. The leaves must be whole without any tears or cracks. Ideally, the pekoe will retain its silvery white downy "hairs", tea buds tend to fall off after the first few weeks of emergence, so the retention of the silvery downy indicates that the tea was picked in its prime. The buds and leaf tips of the tea are considered especially savory and aromatic, retaining a unique sweetness and sublime that is difficult to capture in teas picked later in the season.
