Place eggs in a sauce pan in one layer. Add cold water to cover by about 2".
Set pot on stovetop over a medium-low heat and bring to a boil (Do not do this over a high heat).
Once water reaches a rolling boil, cover, remove from heat and set a timer for 12 minutes. Immediately drain eggs from hot water and run under cold water. I prefer to peel them immediately and store in the refrigerator. If making Chinese Tea Eggs, DO NOT peel and keep reading.
After Step 3 above, instead of peeling the hard boiled eggs, grab a butter-knife and gently tap the eggs with the back of the knife to crack the shells.
Place cracked-shell eggs back in the pot, cover with water by about 2" and add all ingredients listed above from tea bags to orange peel.
Bring to a boil, cover, reduce light to a low simmer and simmer for 2 hours.
Remove from heat, drain and allow to cool. Once cooled, remove shells and store in refrigerator.
