Orange Pekoe is a classic, satisfying blend of strong Assam and smooth-liquor Ceylon. A traditional staple in many households, John Harney always drank this tea whenever he needed a mellow, comforting cup. Also known as Ceylon & India.

What is orange pekoe? Despite the name, there is no orange in it. Orange pekoe is a traditional name for a grade of black tea leaf, not a flavor. Ours is made from small, broken leaves, graded BOP (broken orange pekoe), in the British tradition.

It brews a dark brown cup with notes of dried citrus and the gentle sweetness of soaked grains. Medium in body and brisk, it is built for milk and sugar.
