From Murchie's Tea & Coffee

Murchie’s Princess Blend Tea is a floral, fruity blend in honour of princesses everywhere!

Originally blended: 2015

Blended in honour of Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge – and princesses everywhere!

Sweet raspberries and delicate roses lead the way in this smooth blend. It is light, fruity and floral, with a strong rose component and a hint of bergamot, decorated with rose petals and pink and white cornflowers.

Enduringly charming, and eminently lady-like.

Ingredients: black tea, rose petals, cornflower petals, raspberry leaf, natural and artificial flavouring, bergamot oil

January sipdown

I brewed this very hot (almost boiling) but then cooled it down slightly with a dash of soy milk. It still takes forever to cool down in my thermos but I don’t want to leave a hot beverage without a lid sitting at work on the employee table. Still, it was lovely for both steeps.

I initially through this must be strawberry but raspberry makes more sense because this does not taste like Murchie’s other strawberry teas. The rose is nice and floral without being overpowering. I think this tea would benefit from a bit of vanilla to round out the bergamot. Or, maybe a maltier base. Still delightful, though.

So, I really like this one… but I couldn’t tell you why. Like many of the other reviews, I think that the amount of flavors in this blend make it a bit hard to distinguish, it is quite tasty. I like Rose, I like raspberry, and I like bergamot. So what’s not to like? Sure, I could do with some more bergamot or… maybe I need to find a raspberry Earl Grey blend (let me know if one exists). But hey, maybe its the broken AC in the office making me freezing making mediocre tea surprisingly good or… maybe I’m in the minority of people that would re-purchase this one.

Well, never mind I guess. Google very aggressively let me know that raspberry Earl Greys are a thing, and I have in fact browsed some before…

There is a wholesale raspberry Earl that I often see at tea shops.

Thanks again, Cameron B! I had to read the description again while drinking this - and then realized the problem might be a muddling of too many flavors. There is a lot going on, which kind of leaves my tastebuds confused. This has some rose flavor. Then some fruit, which I didn’t figure out was raspberry until I read the description. It’s an okay raspberry flavor- not the best. Then there should be some bergamot which I think is hiding behind the rose and fruit. The flavoring might be acceptable if I liked the base black tea, but of course the base is hiding behind all the flavor too. Maybe this blend isn’t working for me because I don’t think I ever described myself as “a princess”. :D

This was a risky choice for me, as it’s described as raspberry and rose with a hint of bergamot. Not being a rose lover, not sure why I was so compelled to order it ha ha.

Well I’m not a fan, but it’s not because of rose. This just tastes very powdery/chalky to me overall. Sometimes I have that issue with mixed berry teas, so perhaps it’s the raspberry flavoring here. But it tastes like Tums or perhaps Smarties (the US kind).

Into the rehoming box it goes!
