BLACK TEA – OP

What does op mean in tea?

OP (Orange Pekoe) is a primary grade of tea characterized by long, wiry leaves without tips. The term “Orange Pekoe” refers to this specific type of tea. OP tea offers a forest-like aroma, and its liquor typically exhibits a light golden-red hue with a hint of orange. It has a delicate, mild flavor, making it a favorite among those who enjoy a lighter brew. Due to its leafiness, this tea requires a slightly longer brewing time compared to others.
