Orange Pekoe (オレンジペコー, Orenji Pekō, or orange pekoe) is a Japanese jazz fusion duo that formed in 1998 and had its first major debut in 2002, with the single "Happy Valley". The band is named for orange pekoe, a grade of tea.
pekoe
Orange pekoe is a grade of black tea brewed from the dried leaves and buds of the Camellia sinensis plant. Along with other varieties of Camellia sinensis teas, including green, oolong and white, orange pekoe and other black teas are widely consumed throughout the world. Scientific studies and anecdotal evidence indicate that the popular beverage also offers a number of health benefits.
Pekoe is a normal bear cub villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Animal Crossing: City Folk and has appeared in all subsequent games. Her name comes from pekoe, a term used in tea leaf grading. The word pekoe can also refer to unopened leaf buds, hence her catchphrase, "bud." Her catchphrase is the name of a jock lion villager.
This does not mean that the tea is going to give an orange flavour. This is a way of grading the leaf. Orange pekoe or OP is the highest grade of black tea which is predominantly produced in the South Asian regions namely, Sri Lanka and India. Once the leaf has been graded as orange pekoe after harvesting, they are withered, rolled, heated, and fermented. Most OP teas are referred to as black tea, but there are instances where oolong tea is also made from the same leaves.
Now that you know what orange pekoe is and its special features, why not try it yourself? Go ahead and choose from a wide range of OP Zesta Ceylon Tea. Whether it is flavoured or traditional black tea, you are guaranteed an amazing experience.
When used outside the context of black-tea grading, the term "pekoe" refers to the end terminal bud of the tea plant, not yet unfurled and often covered in white down. Pickings of "a bud and a leaf" or "a bud and two leaves" are also used interchangeably with pekoe and a leaf or pekoe and two leaves.
When tea leaves are processed, they are dried and then sorted into grades based on size and quality of the leaf style. There are three major categories of grading black tea in this system; whole, broken or crushed. Orange Pekoe (OP) is also just one of the grades within the whole tea grades. A tea can be better than orange pekoe, where we might call it Flowery Orange Pekoe (FOP), Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe (TGFOP) or some of the top grades reaching Super Fancy Tippy Flowery Golden Orange Pekoe (SFTGFOP) and there can also be a 1 after that to indicate the top grade of such. Below orange pekoe are the broken grades, Broken Orange Pekoe, (BOP) or Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe (FBOP). Smaller tea bag cuts are referred to as pekoe fannings or PF. The crushed teas are processed differently than the whole teas, known as CTC (crushed, torn, curled) (See full list of grades below.) 2ff7e9595c
