Fortnum & Mason teas always bring back good memories of trips to London with my father years ago. Royal Blend is a strong one - less strong than, say, Irish Breakfast, but a black tea blend for sure with a tannic aroma and a pleasant "wake up" bite. I like this tea very much and it stands up to milk or cream & sugar - in the very English way.
I never use milk and rarely sweeten my tea so it's a bit string for me - but I still like it sooooo much better than "Lipton in a bag".
This is a REAL tea drinker's tea!

I haven't tried this one but I tried Fortnum & Mason's Earl Grey and it struck me as totally British in the flavor aesthetic.
