Orthodox Tea
P/PEK – PEKOE
OP1 (Orange Pekoe 1) is a superior Orthodox tea grade made from long, wiry, and well-twisted leaves picked from tender shoots. It produces a light, golden liquor with a delicate aroma and a smooth, refined flavor. OP1 is less strong than other grades but highly prized for its clarity, floral notes, and elegant cup character. This grade reflects meticulous craftsmanship in tea processing and is often preferred by connoisseurs who appreciate subtle, high-quality teas. OP1 is popular in specialty and export markets for its fine appearance and distinguished taste.
