If you're looking for a fine tea to serve in the afternoon, or perhaps as an after dinner tea, then look no further.  It has nothing to do with oranges though, but its name reflects the grade of tea – in this case consisting of whole leaves or large pieces. It is a high quality tea with a smooth malty flavor and has a floral character. The leaves have a golden color when harvested, so maybe this is reflected in its name but also orange blossoms were sometimes added to this tea in China.

This is a perfect tea to offer to guests – they will sure to be impressed with its rich flavor.
