Taste wise Vietnamese Orange Pekoe can be compared to some of the best Ceylon highland tea's and makes a superb afternoon tea. Orange Pekoe is a long wiry leaf, the meaning of the words are lost in the past but Orange refers to the Dutch "Oranje" which means Royal. Orange Pekoe uses the whole tender flesh of the leaves unlike plain Pekoe which makes a stronger cup due to being produced from more leaf ribs and less flesh.
Vietnamese Orange Pekoe makes a superb afternoon but can be drunk at any time of the day.
