Key attributes
Whole-leaf orthodox grade with a shorter, more tightly rolled leaf than Orange Pekoe. Rounder and slightly fuller in the cup. Stock available for immediate shipment.
How to buy: order a 60 g sample online to judge the grade in your own hands. For bulk, request a quote with your grade, quantity and destination; we confirm a firm price, packing, lead time and validity in writing.
Where Pekoe fits
Orthodox leaf grades run from long, wiry Orange Pekoe (OP) and OP1, through Pekoe and Flowery Pekoe, down to broken grades such as BOP and BOPF and the small dust grades used in tea bags. Pekoe brews a medium to full cup and takes milk well. It is used for loose leaf retail packs and blends. Taste varies by growing elevation, so tell us whether you want a low, mid or high grown profile.
