Lipton Yellow Label Tea Bags 100ct, International Blend

Q: Why do some yellow label boxes say "Orange Pekoe" and others do not?

Yellow label contains orange pekoe (black tea).

Q: What is yellow tea bags ? Is this like the reg tea bags ?

--The tea in the photo above is NOT like Lipton in the yellow colored box (with yellow colored labels on the tea bags) that you buy at the groceries in the US.-- Lipton 100% Natural Black Tea Bags with a yellow colored label sold at Safeway, Walmart, etc, grocery stores in the Lipton yellow colored box is NOT the same quality or taste as the tea pictured above. The yellow box tea (unlike the Yellow LABEL Tea in the photo) is of a lesser quality black tea, made for the American, or "not so discerning" tea drinker. It is also less expensive. Lipton Yellow LABEL tea sold/marketed outside the US (England, Canada, etc) has a decidedly different taste; much better quality. It was explained to me, by a Lipton employee who should know, that most Americans are happy to pay less for "everyday" tea and will buy the "premium" teas marketed under special names in fancy boxes for a higher price. I buy my Yellow Label tea from Canada and pay nominal shipping, or from Pakistani or Indian markets. Make sure it says YELLOW LABEL TEA.

Q: What does the word "pekoe" mean when used with tea?

It is a grade of tea - "pekoe" typically signifies higher grades, while "dust" is lower grades of tea. Interestingly although the word is supposed to be Chinese in origin, it's not used for teas from China -- pekoe tea is typically from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) or India. Sir Thomas Lipton is supposed to have come up with the term "orange pekoe", although the term has nothing to do with citrus; the "orange" refers to (depending on who you believe) either the color of the leaf after processing, or from the Dutch royal family, the House of Orange, due to the role of the Dutch East India Company in importing tea into Europe.
