The grade
Pekoe is a curly, rolled leaf that opens slowly in the pot. The cup is light, with a delicate taste. Many people drink it without milk.
How to brew
Allow one level teaspoon, about 2 g, of leaf per cup of freshly boiled water. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, then strain. Drink it plain or with milk.
Storage
Keep the caddy closed in a cool, dry place, away from strong smells, and use a dry spoon.
