When we first introduced this tea to celebrate the wedding of His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales to Catherine Middleton we had no idea how popular it (or they) would become. Unique to us, the blend of a Ceylon Orange Pekoe with a malty Assam makes a very traditional British cup of tea, just as we imagine Prince William might like to drink it. While it can be enjoyed plain, this tea also tastes great with milk.
While our English Breakfast Blend serves the purpose perfectly well, a nice alternative to a typical British breakfast tea blend is our Price William Blend. This combines a rich malty Assam with a flowery Sri Lanken black tea – which combined give a rich flavour and a dark coppery colour.
Created for the English Tearoom to celebrate the wedding of His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales to Miss Catherine Middleton on 29th April 2011 (coincidentally also The English Tearoom’s first day in business), this Flowery Pekoe from Ceylon lends an uplifting note to the maltier Assam to make a very traditional cup of tea. It has a smooth, almost honey-like flavour and is extremely popular with our customers, whether they be royalists or not! More than just a British breakfast tea blend, this tea tastes great at any time of the day and can be drunk with or without milk.
For those who appreciate a nuanced tea experience, Prince William Blend offers a delightful journey through taste and tradition. The malty notes of Assam provide a robust foundation, while the floral undertones of Ceylon add a sophisticated, aromatic quality. Every sip is a testament to the meticulous blending process that ensures the flavours complement rather than overwhelm each other. This balanced profile makes Prince William Blend a versatile choice, perfect as a breakfast tea or for pairing with both sweet and savoury accompaniments later in the day.
One of our best-selling blends, our customers often tell us how Prince William Blend has become a valued part of their daily routine, whether enjoyed as a morning energiser or a soothing afternoon treat. The blend’s ability to retain its distinctive character with or without milk allows for a personalised tea experience. Celebrating a royal occasion and our own beginnings, this tea embodies the spirit of tradition and the joy of new beginnings, making it a beloved staple in any tea collection. We invite you to immerse yourself in British tea culture and let the exquisite flavour of Prince William Blend add a touch of elegance to your daily tea rituals.
