Originally introduced to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, this Royal Tea Blend has become a permanent favourite due to popular demand. Crafted with lightly roasted Oolong tea from China's Fujian region and champagne-like platinum tips from Sri Lanka, it is delicately enhanced with hints of rose and berries. Its inviting floral and fruity aroma, paired with sweet honey undertones, creates a smooth and memorable tea perfect for any time of day. Food Pairings The perfect companion for an afternoon tea, the notes of light silver needles can be deliciously paired with the flavours of citrus fruit, soft cheeses and seafood, whilst the darker notes of oolong can handle heavier dishes such as spiced breads, caramels and dark chocolate. Whether you prefer the more traditional items of high tea such as light scones and delicate finger sandwiches, or a more modern decadent affair of exotic spiced savouries and rich dark chocolate pastries, this perfectly balanced brew will compliment any royal spread.
