Forms: also with capital initials.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: orange adj.¹, Orange adj.², pekoe n.

Etymology: Either < orange adj.¹, or < Orange adj.² + pekoe n.A number of theories exist as to the origin of the epithet orange. It perhaps refers to the colour of the leaf buds or of the infusion; there is also some suggestion that originally there might have been some admixture of some part of the orange bush. However, it does not now designate a particular variety or quality of tea, simply a grade based on the size and age of the leaves used. Tea was first imported to Europe by the Dutch in the 17th cent., and it has also been suggested that the reference is to the House of Orange, but no contemporary evidence has been found to support any of these theories.

A grade of black leaf tea made from slightly larger leaves than pekoe and often including part or all of the leaf buds as well as the young leaves. Also: a drink made from this.The term is used esp. in the grading of tea produced in Sri Lanka and parts of southern India.
