Black tea variety (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pekoe

'black tea variety' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pekoe that I've seen before include "Thin mark; run naked" , "Type of black tea" , "High-quality black tea" , "Superior grade of black tea" , "Scented black tea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the USA Today and the LA Times.
