PEKOE
Pekoe tea is a grade of Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka, known for its short, curly leaves that are often less wiry compared to other grades. It is made from young, tender tea leaves and buds, which are carefully processed to preserve their quality. The leaves of Pekoe tea are heavily twisted and rolled during production, giving them a unique appearance, often resembling black peppercorns.
When brewed, Pekoe tea produces a light golden-reddish liquor with a delicate and smooth flavor. It is less robust than some other grades, making it a great choice for those who prefer a milder cup of tea. This tea is popular in regions like Turkey and Russia.
