drank Royal Blend by Fortnum & Mason
2912 tasting notes

You know how you get to talking when you make a cuppa and pay absolutely no attention to what you’re drinking, but it’s gone in about three good glugs? Yeah. What I can tell you about my first run with Royal Blend is that if it had any sharp edges to it, milk toned them down nicely to make a strong, smooth, wake-up cup. I’ll be more mindful next cup!

I’ve been known to do this with fancy teas that deserved much better. At least you know it wasn’t bad. :)

I tried it iced and sweet yesterday by the carafe and thought it was really nice that way.

I was a little more alert today—I’d call this one keemun heavy, but pleasantly so…like dark cherry and mahogany wood. Fine on its own, but I think a lot of you would say it’s far better with milk.
