From Fortnum & Mason

Guards’ Blend Tea was mixed especially for the Guards’ Club in 1900. It is made with Ceylon Orange Pekoe, Assam TGFOP1 and Keemun. Officers of these premier regiments of the British Army demanded a tea made from the best examples from their foreign postings, and Fortnum’s was more than happy to oblige.

Had a cup of this yesterday, brewed Western style. This is a sweet, malty tea, with surprisingly little astringency, and much lighter than your garden variety Assam blend. It requires no sweetening, in my opinion, and can be rebrewed 2-3 times easily.
Alas, in typical Fortnum’s fashion, it appears to be no longer available.
And of course, the caddy it came in is absolutely stunning.
