Lord Petersham is a black tea hand blended by my Australian friend Robert, otherwise known as The Devotea. This tea was smooth with a complex flavor palate and boy did it pack a punch. There were notes of chestnuts and spice with a citrusy bite in the middle of each sip. There was definitely Assam in this blend but it was hard to pin point the other teas. It was rather tannic but not so much so as to make it unpleasant. Although I’m usually pretty immune to caffeine, I got a serious case of the jitters after drinking two cups. If you are in need of a breakfast brew to perk you up this one would be a great choice. This blend would stand up very well to both milk and sugar but is drinkable without either addition. I would definitely recommend this tea.
Purchase this tea here.
I looove me some Lord Petersham – iced, hot, lukewarm and flirty, doesn't matter.
It has fast become a favorite for me as well 🙂
People are lovin' the Lord! (excuse the pun}
