Orange Pekoe is a classification of black tea based upon the origin of the leaf. To be classified as pekoe, the tea must be composed purely of the new flushes - a flush being the leaf bud plucked with two youngest leaves. Pekoe refers to the white downy hairs on the tea leaves that are the youngest on the plant.
Orange is not the flavour, but rather refers to the Dutch royal family- the House of Orange. In the 1600s the Dutch East India Company company brought teas to Europe and the best of the black teas was reserved for the royal family.
