Our Sussex Royal Premium Blend loose leaf tea has been expertly blended by our tea master as a brilliant daily ‘pick-me-up’ and is a Great Taste Award winner for outstanding taste and quality!
Like our original house blend “Rusper”, our Sussex Royal tea has both Assam and Kenyan leaves that give this blend a bright edge and strong distinctive taste, although, with a bigger leaf size, brewing time is 4 minutes for the perfect cup!
The addition of high grown Ceylon from the world-renowned Somerset Estate in the Sri-Lankan Dimbula Valley gives Sussex Royal a slightly more subtle astringency together with tropical and citrus notes.
Here is what the Great Taste judges at the Guild of Fine Food had to say:
“Mixed CTC leaf, that has been well-rolled. Thick, coloury liquor with a malty hint to it. Good briskness. Under milk it has a good colour and is bright. The blend works and produces a refreshing tea!”
