Scotch and Abram's Monk's Blend is one of the quieter members of the range - a refined black tea layered with soft vanilla and a subtle grenadine note that adds a lightly fruity sweetness without announcing itself. Calendula and marigold petals complete the blend, adding warmth and a gentle floral quality to the loose leaf. The result is a cup that is smooth, mellow, and naturally sweet - the kind you drink without overthinking it. Smooth and gently sweet with soft vanilla character, a light fruity note from the grenadine, and a warm, rounded finish. Less assertive than the Caramel or Cream Vanilla, more understated and approachable. Works well at any time of day and drinks comfortably with or without milk. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Works well black or with a splash of milk - both bring something different to the cup. How does it compare? More vanilla: Scotch and Abram's Cream Vanilla Bolder sweetness: Scotch and Abram's Caramel Unflavored: Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend Cream Vanilla leads with a more assertive vanilla character - the step up if you want the sweetness more prominent. Caramel is bolder and more indulgent on the same black tea foundation. Britannia Blend is the natural choice if you want the same everyday black tea base without any flavoring.
