Murchie’s Editors’ Blend Tea is a rich and smooth blend of black teas: Ceylon adds depth and a brisk sparkling finish, Yunnan provides smoothness and sweetness and Keemun ties it together.
Pair with a good book, or an intimidating stack of paperwork.
Originally blended: 2011
The Editors’ Association Of Canada’s 2011 National Conference was held in Vancouver, BC and Murchie’s was asked to create a blend serve to their delegates.
We created a smooth, medium blend of black Ceylon, Keemun and Yunnan with sweet honey notes to honour the event and the distinguished guests.
Ingredients: Black tea (Yunnan, Keemun, Ceylon)

A four-minute steep yields a sweeter taste and stronger flowers-and-bread aroma than four minutes 30 seconds, though there’s still plenty of pucker and heft. This blend packs a good caffeine hit. It was first blended for an editors’ conference. I’m sipping while deep in revisions, and it’s plucking me out of the doldrums. I expect this would make a good studying tea, too.
Definitely making note here—my heavy-duty curriculum writing season is barreling toward me like a freight train! By dinnertime yesterday, I decided that I have NO more ideas. Ever.
EDITORS’ BLEND WILL SAVE YOU! (superhero SFX) ! So might Harney & Sons’ Russian Country, if you like smoky tea. Russian Country packs a punch, really good caffeine lift.
I have always wanted to like lapsang souchong, in theory. In practice, it’s always been just a hair too strong. Is the Russian Country version just a whiff or is it a middle-aged guy blowing his cigar my direction?
