Buckingham Palace Garden Party

This doesn’t have the boldness as other Buckingham Palace Party Teas I have tried have. I can taste both the black and the green teas tho. I can taste the hints of earl grey likeness and can taste the jasmine a little too. This is pretty good…was hoping for a little bolder on the black tea tho.

Oversteeped.

I have a Teahouse with over 70 teas, so naturally I get to taste all of them and I’m always buying more because I want to taste more.
Most of my guests are not necessarily into trying tea for itself, but more for the experience, so I buy mostly tea that is not rare or special but something many people will like. My hope with my tasting notes is to not only express my views about the taste of a certain tea, but to express the likes and dislikes I hear from my customers. In this way I can share what I’ve learned about the teas I sell and serve.

Buckingham Palace Garden Party by Metropolitan Tea is one of those teas that appeal to many. In fact it is one of my best sellers. The Blend of 3 flavors that are familiar, Assam, Jasmine and Earl Grey, puts it right in the comfort zone. Different enough to appeal to the adventurous but not heavy or strong in taste.

I enjoy this tea as well, The Earl Grey gives just a hint, as does the jasmine. It is a great beginner’s Tea. I do recommend it.

First brew: completely got distracted by impending storm and let it overbrew. Super bitter. Sad.

Second brew: so, so much better. Tiniest floral taste, and a touch sweet. I think next time a bit of sugar will make this tea absolutely delish!
