Answer to Question 1

Lemon juice combats astringency and lightens the color of tea by bleaching the tannins. It also inhibits cloudiness of the tea.

Answer to Question 2

The size of tea leaves is designated through the grade of the tea. The grade of tea is decided based primarily on leaf size. Quality decreases as the size of the leaf increases. Orange pekoe refers to the smallest leaves, pekoe to the middle-size leaves, and souchong to the largest leaves. Broken simply means the leaves are not intact. Broken orange pekoe is generally considered the best grade of black tea and consists chiefly of buds.
