Royal Palace Tea

Unfortunately I had to travel for work last weekend (I went to Houston, Texas, but more on that another day), and I haven't had a chance to take pictures for the tea parties this week.  I'm disappointed too--I had this month's tea parties all planned!  But, here is the post I was going to do on Sunday.

Harney and Sons has a deal with Historic Royal Palaces where they do custom tea blends for them.  I found a new one last year that I added to my list of teas to try one day.

 
Doesn't the pattern on the tin look familiar?  It's the same as the china pattern!

 
Royal Palace tea is a black tea with lemon and grapefruit flavors.  As you can see, it comes in Harney's satchets, which I really like because it is loose leaf quality tea, in ready to go filters! 
 
 


 The tea is a nice dark color and has just a hint of citrus flavor.  I really liked it with a bit of sweetener.


I was playing a bit with background colors while setting up for this tea.  My favorite picture was the one with the red background below--I think it really shows off the colors of the teacup and the tin.  This tin will definitely go in my keep collection.  It will be really pretty as a vase!

  4. That is so fantastic how your tin matches your tea cup. Both are so pretty. It is definitely a keeper. Happy you like the flavor of the tea too; and so nice they come in the little wrappers.

  5. I love that tin and love that teacup!

    Not a fan of grapefruit teas, have had several and just can't seem to bring myself to try anymore, but my word that is a GORGEOUS tin.

    Harney and Sons is my favorite tea company for sure. I buy a lot of loose leaf from them. My favorite is PARIS.
