Fortnum & Mason Royal Blend Black Tea — 25 Individually Wrapped Tea Bags, Smooth Balanced Cup

Steeped in British tea-room tradition, this one-pack contains 25 cellophane-sealed, individually enveloped tea bags designed for convenience and consistent flavor. The blend combines flowery Ceylon leaves with malty Assam to create a rounded, slightly sweet profile that works equally well plain or with milk. First blended in 1902 for King Edward VII, Royal Blend remains a pantry staple for those who prefer a familiar, balanced black tea.

What flavor profile should I expect from Royal Blend?

Royal Blend produces a full-bodied black tea with warm malt tones rounded by brighter, flowery notes from Ceylon. It finishes smooth with a subtle honey-like sweetness rather than sharp bitterness, making it easy to enjoy at different strengths.

• Base: robust Assam provides body and malty depth.
• Lift: low-grown Flowery Pekoe from Ceylon adds floral brightness.
• Mouthfeel: smooth and slightly sweet—pairs well with milk or a splash of sugar.

How should I brew these individually wrapped tea bags for best results?

Brew with freshly boiled water and steep each tea bag for 3–5 minutes depending on your taste preference. The envelope preserves aroma and guarantees consistent strength cup after cup.

• Water: use freshly boiled water for full extraction.
• Time: 3 minutes for a lighter cup, up to 5 minutes for a stronger brew.
• Serving: traditionally enjoyed with milk, but also good plain or with a touch of sweetener.

What’s included in the packaging and how portable is it?

The product is supplied as a single cellophane-sealed box holding 25 individually wrapped, enveloped tea bags—ideal for travel, office use, or a small household. Each sachet keeps the tea fresh and makes preparation tidy and simple.

• Packaging: sealed box to protect contents during shipping and storage.
• Individual wraps: each tea bag in its own envelope to lock in freshness.
• Portability: compact box fits a small kitchen shelf, desk drawer, or travel bag.
