Pekoe is a fine grade made from young, tender leaves and buds, offering a tea with a light golden reddish liquor. The leaves are shorter, and curly, and bear a resemblance to black peppercorn, making this Kenyan tea visually appealing. Though its flavor is delicate, Pekoe is more demanded for its attractive appearance than for its cup quality. This grade is perfect for those who value aesthetics as much as taste in their Kenyan tea experience.
