After living on Ceylon and Tetley Orange Pekoe for the majority of my tea-drinking years, I cannot believe how good a quality orange pekoe can be. Low tannins that didn’t leave my mouth dry (even though I love to leave the bags/ball in my cup for as long as possible). Smooth flavor, but not weak, and everything that a staple black tea should be. I’m saving my remaining cheap tea bags for kombucha brewing and iced tea in the summer. David’s Orange Pekoe is my new standby.
