Special Blend is one of the everyday black teas from Ahmad Tea London. According to the maker, the blend combines brisk Ceylon and bright Kenyan teas and is lightly infused with bergamot, giving a subtle citrus note that the maker places between its English Tea No.1 and Earl Grey. The ingredients are simply black tea and bergamot flavouring, and the maker gives the origin of the tea as Sri Lanka and Kenya.
Each of the 100 bags has a tag, so it is easy to lift out of the cup. Pour freshly boiled water over one bag and let it brew to the strength you like, following the time given on the pack. The maker suggests drinking it black, with milk or alongside food. It also suits the Turkish way of drinking tea, black in a small glass with a sugar cube, or a more British cup with a splash of milk or a slice of lemon. The maker says the teabags and strings are biodegradable and the tag is recyclable.
A box of 100 bags suits an office, a shop or a busy family that goes through several cups a day. Keep it closed in a cool, dry place away from strong smells so the tea stays fresh.
