For those that are new to tea or are just unaware, orange pekoe is not a flavor or type of tea but a grading term, and it generally represents a higher quality of tea with fewer broken leaves compared to lower grades such as broken orange pekoe (BOP) or fannings.
The word "pekoe" refers to the unopened terminal bud and two leaves below it while "orange" refers to the Dutch royal House of Orange-Nassau rather than the colour.
