REVIEW
Brewed
- Malty Darker brewed liquor
Scent
- A malty stronger tea
Flavor
- This classic Fortnum’s blend, low-grown Flowery Pekoe from Ceylon lends an uplifting note to the maltier Assam to make a very traditional cup of tea. First blended for King Edward VII in the summer of 1902, Royal Blend has been popular ever since for its smooth, almost honey-like flavor
Sentiments
- This is a strong tea and I can definitely see this tea being served to the royals. It’s got a dark liquor with a malty almost earthy flavor. The malty flavor coats the tongue and leaves a sweet sense in your mouth. A lovely mellow strong tea.
