orange pekoe

☕️ the liquor is bright with excellent flowery flavor and a cup that tends somewhat light 🌸. a good after-dinner tea 🍽️.

this tea is a true orange pekoe grade. interestingly, the term orange pekoe has little to do with quality as it is a size grading term. orange pekoe in true tea jargon stands for whole leaf 🍃. when you pour boiling water on this tea, you will see how the leaf uncurls and expands quite dramatically, a process called "the agony of the leaf" 🍂.
