In this classic Royal Blend notes of Flowery Pekoe from Sri Lanka uplift the maltier Assam to create a very traditional cup of tea. First blended for King Edward in 1902, Fortnum’s Royal Blend has been popular ever since for its smooth, honey-like flavour.

Review: Very smooth, great taste - Our daughter originally purchased this tea for my wife when she visited London. My wife liked it so much that she has been buying it ever since. For tea, it is a little pricey but it goes a long way. The taste of the tea is very nice. My wife likes it so much that she is hesitant to share it with me. This is a high quality product that you can really taste the quality of the leaves. If you like Earl Grey tea, this is several steps up in the taste category. Very highly recommended.
Review: Royal Blend is a Lovely English Tea - Excellent tea!! I had it at a high tea at Fortum and Mason in London and loved it. It is not sold in many places but desertcart had it and delivered within 2 days!!! I bought a new electric kettle (from desertcart) with an infuser and it works GREAT. I put a little honey and a drop of 1/2 and 1/2 in it which makes it wonderful for my taste. Royal Blend is pricy but worth the money. A bit of luxury in your own home!! I love desertcart.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many cups does this make?**
A: I think it depends on how strong your like it.

**Q: where does the actual tea come from? I ask because there is so much pollution in China and India these days. thanks.**
A: This is VERY good tea. I have NO idea where it comes from but I very much doubt that Fortnum & Mason would be buying it from anyplace where there might be pollution. They have been in business for a couple of hundred years and the British are VERY fussy about their TEAS. The only place to buy this tea  at a reasonable price is the  Fortum and Mason store in London. When you buy it through Amazon or other retailers here you will be paying DOUBLE the price.

**Q: is this tea caffeine free?**
A: No, this tea is not caffeine free. As described, "classic Royal Blend notes of Flowery Pekoe from Ceylon uplift the maltier Assam", they are rich black teas.  This blend is one of my favorites and is a welcome cup in the morning. I order this consistently for its great flavor and full body.  Since I generally do not drink decaffeinated tea I can not recommend an alternative. Perhaps some of the green teas  with less caffeine would suit you.

**Q: Is there a way to know the expiration date?**
A: I last ordered this tea in February 2021. and the tin that was delivered has an expiration date of November 30, 2023 (stamped 30/11/23) on the bottom.  I don't know if you can determine the exp date before it is ordered.
