From Whittard of Chelsea

1886 was the year Whittard of Chelsea was founded and the year that Indian tea exports overtook Chinese. This smooth blend of Assam and Keemun tea reflects the taste of the time. Delicious brewed strong and drunk with milk.

I bought this tea when I ran out of Ringtons classic 1907 blend – a favourite of mine. Sadly the tea came nowhere near my expectations of it being similar. That said it was a pleasant enough tea with a lingering after taste. Slightly astringent in the mouth. Best drank black and without sugar in my view – I think milk would overpower the flavours.
