The Platinum Jubilee Blend is a black tea blend to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's 70 Years of Reign. The tea has a full-bodied flavour with a delicate Earl Grey taste. In addition to the Balmoral Blend we made for the Balmoral Estate in 2019, the Platinum Jubilee Blend will be served to visitors and sold throughout the Visitor enterprises at Balmoral Estate.
In development of the blend, we wanted to keep strong ties to Scottish tea history using predominantly teas from China, Sri Lanka and Assam (India) blended with flavoursome leaves from the Nandi Highlands in Kenya. To add a little twist, we've subtly flavoured using 100% natural bergamot oil to give a hint of Earl Grey, which is stronger in aroma than when infused. We also wanted to make a visually beautiful tea worthy of such a celebration, so we added blue, red, and white cornflowers, which give a splendid burst of colour throughout the blend.

THE PLATINUM JUBILEE BLEND
A pulling together of colour, flavour & magic. On the nose in the bag there is more than a hint of Earl Grey. Each time I make it the body & subtle flavours are different & well put together
