Victorian Black

Introducing Elizabeth Ascot’s signature tea "Victorian Black”, inspired by the captivating tale of "The Extraordinary Ladies of Ascot.” Handcrafted with attention to detail, this exceptional blend is a true delight for tea enthusiasts. At the heart of the blend is a single field orthodox black tea, graded as Orange Pekoe 1. Cultivated exclusively for Elizabeth Ascot, on a third-generation Scottish family estate in Malawi, this tea is a tribute to elegance and tradition. The leaves are imported to England, where they undergo a blending process, adding freeze-dried blackcurrant and delicate calendula petals. These botanical ingredients complement the rich black tea, creating a symphony of flavours to immerse your senses in the finest Victorian tea. With each sip, experience the decadent harmony of dark forest honey intertwined with an earthy, malty aroma that lingers on your palate. Uncover the subtle hints of dry wood, gracefully balanced with gentle notes of berry, enhancing the complexity of this exceptional tea blend. While it is recommended to savour "Victorian Black" without any additions, its strength allows for the freedom to enjoy it with milk. Embrace the versatility of this blend, allowing it to adapt to your preferences while still providing a remarkable tea-drinking experience. "Victorian Black" promises to transport you to the drawing room of a 19th-century English country manor, evoking the nostalgic flavours of a Victorian afternoon tea.
