  • The steeping time of Orange Pekoe Tea is quite essential here and it is generally one’s choice. Some people like to have their tea as lightly brewed, while fee of them like a strong tea and some like it to be bitter. 
  • To serve it cold, after brewing the tea let it cool down for a bit. Then add a few ice cubes and it becomes the Iced Orange Pekoe Tea, which is amazing.
