Orange pekoe is just one of the many black teas.

All teas, with the exception of herbal teas made from other plants, are made from the same basic plant. It is the processing that makes black, oolong and green teas different.

The area the plants are grown in, the maturity of the leaves at picking and the admix of other flavouring is what makes the many varieties of teas found on the grocers' shelves.
