Metz Tea - Orange Pekoe

Discover the rich, full-bodied character of Metz Tea’s Orange Pekoe. Sourced from premier high-altitude estates across Kenya, India, and China, this exceptional blend represents the classic standard by which all black teas are measured. By combining choice seasonal harvests, this selection delivers a bright, coppery liquor and a robust mouthfeel that commands attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Orange Pekoe contain caffeine?

Yes, this blend contains natural caffeine derived from the black and green tea leaves, making it an excellent choice for a morning awakening or a midday revival.

How do I best brew this tea?

Bring fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil at 100°C. Pour the water directly over the compostable tea bag and allow the leaves to steep for 3 to 5 minutes to fully release the deep, malty flavours.

Does Orange Pekoe taste like oranges?

No, the name Orange Pekoe actually refers to a specific grading system used to measure the size and quality of premium black tea leaves rather than a citrus flavouring. This traditional blend delivers a rich, oaky cup rather than a fruit infusion.
