About the "Coronation Afternoon Tea" Blend
A festive, loose-leaf blend created to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
Our afternoon blend is darker and richer than classic versions and is particularly well-suited to being prepared with milk—truly "fit for a king."
Darjeeling is considered the "champagne of teas" due to its complexity and muscatel character. In the foothills of the Himalayas—often covered in snow in winter—the tea bushes grow slowly, which intensifies the aroma.

What is clotted cream?
Clotted cream is a thick, rich cream made from unhomogenized cow's milk, heated in shallow pans and slowly cooled until the characteristic "clots" form.
Traditionally, it originates from Devon and Cornwall and has a fat content of at least 55%.
It is traditionally served with scones and jam for British cream tea.
Cornish clotted cream is a protected designation of origin for cream made using traditional methods in Cornwall.
