This blend of teas is fit for a 'king-in-waiting'. A very rich Indian Assam tea as the dominant component in this blend to honour the role India has played in the British Empire. Kings George V, George VI, Edward and Queen Elizabeth all were known to tip a cuppa with the local English gentry and Indian Maharajas.
In our blend we also have some Ceylon tea. The tea industry in Sri Lanka - formerly known as Ceylon was started by the British in the mid 1800's. Tea is now the most important agricultural export product for Sri Lanka and provides jobs for hundreds of thousands on the 'tear-drop' shaped island. Viewing tea estates, roads and railways you will see evidence of the British 'bulldog' nature - during the 1800's only the British would have been 'mad' enough to push roads through the jungles and steep mountains.
True to the British national anthem 'God Save the King' we added Chinese Gunpowder green tea (平水珠茶) and Lucky Dragon Hyson green tea (熙春龍茶) with their high polyphenol count to try and bring this ideal to the blend. We have enhanced this blend with a hint of black currants the typical English garden berry.
While you are enjoying this wonderful tasting tea you can experience history, culture and flavours from across the world, in a perfectly blended english afternoon blend.
