Dorset Tea has been blending since 1934, when the founder started crafting teas in his Bournemouth kitchen and delivering them by bike to businesses around Dorset. Their Sunshine Blend - formerly known as Golden Blend - is their signature: Kenyan tea from the Rift Valley blended with flavoursome Rwandan leaves and a touch of Assam for extra malty depth. 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified and a Great Taste Award winner every year since 2010. Rich, golden, and smooth. The Kenya and Rwanda give the cup its brightness and warmth, the Assam keeps it grounded with malt and body. An all-day tea that delivers a consistently satisfying cup without ever feeling heavy. 100% biodegradable teabags. If you enjoy Dorset Sunshine Blend, our Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend is our take on that same golden, balanced everyday cup - medium bodied, smooth, and easy drinking. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk if you like. It holds up well. Works morning, afternoon, or evening. How does it compare? Similar to Barry's Gold Blend Similar to Bewley's Gold Blend Similar to Birchall Great Rift Barry's Gold and Bewley's Gold are the closest Irish comparisons - all three share the same Kenya and Rwanda provenance and a similar golden, balanced character. Birchall Great Rift is the closest English comparison, sourced exclusively from the same Rift Valley region with the same bright, bold East African character.
