*does some quick research* Actually, we're both wrong! I had only assumed that "orange" was a reference to a flavor, but it turns out that it doesn't refer to anything about oranges or plants at all!

In other words, if you're in the US or Canada, there IS no such tea as "orange pekoe" and it's actually just... plain black tea, trying to sound pretentious.
