From Fortnum & Mason

This tea has been created to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s achievement as the longest reigning British monarch. The tea takes as its heart Kenya; where she was staying when she ascended the throne in 1952 and Rwandan tea, renowned for its refreshing qualities, with the malty depth of historic Assam. The old and the new worlds of tea unite to mark this unique and historic length of service.

This is probably a discontinued tea by now, but my cousin in the UK sent it to me a couple years ago and it has been quite the staple for me. I’m by no means a fan of the British Monarchy (I’m South Asian-American with Scottish and Irish roots, after all), but this is a very good tea in a very charming (and very royal) tin. The tea leaves are decently intact despite what seemed to be an adventurous trip with the British Royal Post, judging from the way the shipping box showed up, and they brew up into a robust, malty, incredibly satisfying breakfast-style tea. Perfect for a busy leader of an Imperialist nation (or me, I guess).
