Now I'm really confuzzled...
I went back to the store that had the tins of Wedgwood and bought a few. What can I say - the tins are a really fun shape and a very pretty blue. Anyhoo... I couldn't resist one that is labeled "Orange Pekoe" where the flavor designation would be. On the back, where the description is, it says, "Wedgwood Orange Pekoe is a brisk, smooth, and light blend, with a bright appearance typical of this classic tea. It can be enjoyed throughout the day." It shows Sri Lanka as country of origin. From everything I've been learning the past 6 weeks or so, I was certain that OP was a leaf size, yes? No? Sometimes? I opened the tin, and it smells *exactly* like standard American supermarket teabags - Lipton, Savarin, Red Rose, whatever. I made some, and sure enough, it tastes exactly like that, too. The leaves look like... well, just like the English Breakfast and Earl Grey leaves - any of the black teas I see on websites - TGFOP, FTGFOp - I think you know what I mean. Is Orange Pekoe also a type of tea? Thanks! Resa |
