Description

The Queen Victoria Blend is a Breakfast Tea first created by us for the Grand Hotel in Brighton. It has since become so popular that we’ve stocked it for everyone.

If you like all things regal, or perhaps want to indulge in an Afternoon Tea, this infusion is an excellent choice. It boasts class and bold sophistication with every sip - much like the Monarch herself.

Most would describe the Queen Victoria Blend as perfectly well-rounded from start to finish. The combination is that of Assam Tea (specifically from the Tinsukia District), Darjeeling Loose Tea and Ceylon Tea (from Uva Province, Sri Lanka).

This makes for a match made in heaven - as, hopefully, you’re about to find out. Best of all, we pack it fresh to order here at our Kent-based factory.

Queen Victoria and Tea

What does the 19th-century Queen of the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as the Empress of India, have to do with Tea? As it turns out, plenty! According to one story, Queen Victoria was the person responsible for the name “English Breakfast Tea”.

During a royal visit to Balmoral, Her Majesty met Robert Drysdale, a Scottish Tea Master who had recently made a new blend.

Mr. Drysdale had already dubbed his creation “Scottish Breakfast Tea”. However, the Queen persuaded him to change it to better suit her English roots.

Today, it is a popular choice when indulging in an Afternoon Tea. It is also, in many respects, the “forefather” of our Queen Victoria Blend - one that, like regular Breakfast Tea, has a close association with the late Monarch.

GFOP Tea Grade

The Queen Victoria Tea Blend is a Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe (GFOP), a Tea grade of many noteworthy qualities. The latter part of this term, FOP, denotes Tea made from the top bud and the first two leaves of each new shoot.

The former part refers to how it contains a high content of golden tips. We believe that Her Majesty would have approved of it.

How to Make Queen Victoria Blend

1, Buy a Tea Filter or Infuser and fill it with Loose Tea.

2, Position the Tea-filled accessory in your cup.

3, Begin brewing by pouring in freshly boiled water.

4, Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes.

How to Serve: Milk, sugar, honey or lemon - the choice is yours. Alternatively, serve black.

Benefits of Drinking The Queen Victoria

Human oxidation is a natural process in the body. Oxidative stress, on the other hand, is an imbalance of free radical activity and antioxidant activity, one that contributes to numerous chronic conditions.

There is no easy, “fix-all” solution to this. However, by drinking Queen Victoria Blend regularly, you are, at the very least, reducing risks. The reason?

It contains a wealth of its own beneficial antioxidants, which do much to support your health and wellbeing. They can, for example, improve skin health and aid digestion, all the while promoting weight loss by boosting the metabolism of fat cells.

Then there is the fact that, when enjoyed as part of a healthy and active lifestyle, Antioxidants in Tea enhance brain function.

  8. For me even when brewing for 5 mins it was very weak. Maybe a tea best taken without milk. Did increase brewing time but it was not nice. Getting the balance i found hard so will not order this tea again.
    If you like your tea without milk and like a gentle tea this might be for you.
    It did have a honey like aftertaste
