Description

This black tea blend is in honour of Queen Elizabeth II the current and second longest serving monarch of the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries. Included in the blend are Indian teas from Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri and a Dimbula from Ceylon. The resulting cup has malty tones, light muscatel notes and a very smooth finish.

Queen Elizabeth II is a dedicated tea connoisseur. Every year Queen Elizabeth host the Royal garden party at Buckingham Palace during which an average of 27000 cups of tea are served. We are sure this blend would be the bell of the ball if it were served at any party.
