The original English breakfast tea blend should contain Keemun from China.

The cadence of presentation gives off theatre kid vibes, no shots I enjoyed and subscribed. After listening to -cooking issues with Dave Arnold, Tea with Dylan Rothenberg. It opened my mind tea personally, I like coffee & espresso, but needed red rose this morning feeling sore throat. Would you consider doing a video on Rooibos?

Thanks for watching, you're correct! I was absolutely a theatre kid, although I always thought it was my projection that gave it away! Haha. I am planning on exploring Rooibos tea at some point in the future, as it is a blend I'm not familiar with.

Why does my tea say orange pekoe and black tea?

[@thatdamnsamsquanch]

Black tea is how the leaf is processed. Its bruised and let to oxidize for some time. Orange pekoe is a grade of tea. There is also orange pekoe green tea as well.

[@myteaadventure]

That's a good question! Because orange pekoe is a grade of tea, it can be black (or green as has already been suggested) and it is rated based on the quality and processing of the leaves.
