Prince of Wales tea blend

Prince of Wales tea blend

The Prince of Wales is a regal tea blend typically served in the afternoon with scones. It is a full bodied bright liquoring tea, which may include Assam, Lucky Dragon, Keemun, Oolong, or Gunpowder with larkspur, and always a hint of blackcurrant.

Its many variations are produced by multiple companies. The most notable of these, Twinings of London, has however recently withdrawn its Prince of Wales tea from the United Kingdom market (although it is still marketed abroad), as witnessed by their official regional websites.

According to Twinings, the particular prince the tea was named after was Edward, Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, who requested a carefully blended tea. Edward granted Twinings permission to resell his personal blend using his royal title, in 1921.
