The Platinum Jubilee Blend

This extraordinary platinum jubilee tea blend was created by Tea Palace in 2022 to honour the 70th anniversary on the throne of Queen Elizabeth II.

Platinum Jubilee Tea is a sophisticated Earl Grey blend crafted with precision to offer a luxurious tea-drinking experience. Made from the finest Chinese black tea leaves, this blend is complemented by the zesty citrus notes of lemon peel and the fragrant aroma of bergamot oil, pressed from select bergamot citrus fruits. It combines the classic elements of Earl Grey with a refined depth that appeals to both connoisseurs and casual tea drinkers alike.

Upon brewing, the tea presents a rich bronze liquor, its citrus aroma immediately inviting and uplifting. The black tea leaves provide a full-bodied base that is both smooth and robust, while the lemon peel enhances the overall citrus profile, offering a refreshing lift. The addition of bergamot oil imparts a fragrant, slightly floral note that balances the brightness of the lemon and the depth of the tea.

This blend is distinguished by its complex flavour profile—first, the initial citrus burst from the lemon peel and bergamot oil, followed by the mellow and malty undertones of the black tea. The tea’s finish is smooth and satisfying, with gentle grape undertones that add subtle complexity. The balance of bright citrus and rich tea creates a harmonious infusion that is both invigorating and comforting.
