Golly this is gorgeous. I know Ahmad are a respected tea company, but often it's all name and style and no substance. But this is the real deal.
It's a blend of Ceylon and Assam black teas with pear and cinnamon. It can be drunk with or without milk. I prefer my strong black teas (such as Ceylon and Assam) with milk, but if flavoured (usually, as here, with fruit), then I drink it without. I found this to be a well balanced blend - it wasn't just a black tea, nor was it just a spiced fruit tea, it was a little of both, hovering nicely between the two. Surprisingly delicate for such robust black teas. This is simply quite beautiful.
It was a gift. These baubles can be bought for £5 from Amazon, or £4 from Ahmad direct. You only get eight tea bags, but you do get to keep the metal bauble which can be used as a Christmas tree decoration. Cute.
