INFORMATION:
Ever since the year of her coronation, Queen Elizabeth has thrown an annual Royal garden party for her loyal subjects. At these parties, among other delicacies, tea is served. And when we say tea is served, we really mean it. On average, 27,000 cups of tea are consumed on the lawn of Buckingham Palace, as are 20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 pieces of cake!
If you are lucky enough to be invited to one of these affairs, you will find yourself tipping cup after cup of tea blended with varieties from India and Ceylon in reverence of Britain's colonial past. This tea was blended with the same reverence, using Indian teas from Nilgiri, Assam, and Darjeeling, and a Dimbula from Ceylon. The result is a fabulous cup with rich malty notes, slight muscatel undertones, and a smooth finish. Long Live the Queen!
