Harrod’s states, “The core element of the Empire Blend is Assam tea with the subtle characteristics of Nilgiri and Darjeeling.” It is a perfectly servicable black tea, is probably exactly what you’d imagine when you think of a classic British black. It is not particularly complex but is the good quality that Harrod’s is typically known for. Nice finish without bitterness/astringency. Personally, I would not bother with the hassle and expense of sourcing this particular tea outside the UK.
