I recently did a tea swap with gabbydrinkstea and she was kind enough to include a sample of each of Republic of Tea’s new Bridgerton blends for me to try. Outside of the standalone Queen Charlotte mini series, I’ve never actually watched Bridgerton before so I didn’t really know the characters at all. However, it’s a long weekend here in Canada (for Victoria Day) and I’ve been stuck in quarantine so I had a little more time on my hands – so I actually started the series this past weekend.
When I saw this was a lemon and mint black tea I was ever so slightly intrigued. Lemon and mint is not exactly the most exciting pairing, but it’s one that I typically see much more in herbal blends or green tea so I was a little excited by the tea base switch up. It ended up being really, really quite lovely. I sipped on it while actually watching the show, and maybe that did elevate the experience slightly but I really think it was the uniquely decadent yet fresh and zesty tasting notes that really won me over. The black tea base was smooth and medium bodied and though there was a bright, zesty freshness to the lemon notes it also had a bit of a more sweet and creamy element too – it reminded me in some ways of a lemon curd you might get in a really nice tart. The mint was gentle and crisp, and rounded out the finish quite nicely. However, I also unexpectedly got notes of vanilla and almost like a caramel or burnt sugar. That was super unexpected, but it gave this really subtle dessert-like quality to the profile that I really latched onto.
I could very easily see this served as the selection for a really nice high tea, with loads of light and dainty sweets and finger foods. A nice buttermilk scone with clotted cream, perhaps, would go BEAUTIFULLY with this blend!
I just finished the first season, and so far Eloise is actually one of my favourite characters – so it was nice that I ended up enjoying the tea blend associated with her so much. I really don’t foresee a RoT order in my future any time soon, but this is something I would consider buying for myself. Unfortunately, I’m sure it’ll be long sold out before I even get close to considering ordering anything…
