The Elizabeth Montagu Afternoon Tea
Elizabeth Montagu was a visionary Socialite;
a lady of considerable wit and a brilliant
Conversationalist. She hosted a Bluestocking
Society, by invitation here at The Royal

from Assam and fine sweet notes from Yunnan.
Earl Grey – Flavoured Black Tea, India TGFOP
This popular tea shows the typical flowery richness of an autumnal Darjeeling enhanced
with the refreshing citrus taste of bergamot.
Silver Pi Lo Chun – Green Tea, China
A highly delicate green tea that grows under fruit trees which pass their fragrance on to the
tea leaves, lending them subtle fruity notes.
Morning Dew – Flavoured Green Tea
One of the most fascinating tea blends is based on a Japanese style Sencha composed with
flower petals and the fruity fragrance of mango and lemon.
Refreshing Mint – Herbal Infusion
A hint of Lemon Grass gives the typical relaxing flavour of mint a special twist and adds
extra freshness.
Fruity Camomile – Herbal Infusion
Traditional camomile known as wholesome and delicious meets the gentle sweetness of orange
petals.
Chill out with Herbs – Wellness Infusion
Based on Rooibos and lemon balm this mild infusion relaxes with the wonderful taste of orange
and cream.
Granny’s Garden – Fruit Infusion
The taste of rhubarb rounded off with vanilla marries well with a blend of apple, hibiscus and
rosehip to create a delicious fruity infusion.
