GOLDEN FLOWERY ORANGE PEKOE

The highest grades for most South Asian teas are referred to as "orange pekoe", and the lowest as "fannings" or "dust". Pekoe tea grades are classified into various qualities, each determined by how many of the adjacent young leaves (two, one, or none) were picked along with the leaf buds. Top-quality pekoe grades consist of only the leaf buds, which are picked using the balls of the fingertips. Our Classic Flowery Orange Pekoe brings the smell of Darjeeling into your drawing room and lingers like the mist in the valleys.
