Tetley Tetley Orange Pekoe represents a premium grade of black tea characterized by long, whole tea leaves and a refined, smooth flavor profile. Despite the name, there's no orange flavorâ"Orange Pekoe" refers to the leaf grade and quality standard, indicating whole leaves from the top of the tea plant. This 72 Bags package contains expertly graded tea that brews into a bright, aromatic cup with subtle complexity.
Orange Pekoe is particularly popular in Western tea culture and is the foundation for many breakfast blends. The whole leaf format ensures slower, more even extraction during brewing, resulting in a smoother, less bitter cup compared to broken leaf grades. Tetley sources high-quality Orange Pekoe that delivers consistent flavor with proper body, making it excellent for both straight sipping and milk tea preparation.
