I love this tea just a tad more than its sister (royal palace). The 30 sachet tin arrived yesterday along with 2 other orders (my first from Verdant and some flowering teas because it’s just fun to watch it open and use as a mini centerpiece on the dining room table).

This tea is neck and neck with Irish Breakfast.

The lemon is nature and blends so well with the tea. When you add just a touch of creme and sweetener the tea holds up wonderfully. So smooth, so flavorful.

While I enjoy the grapefruit in the royal palace, the lemony flavor of diamond jubilee is just, somehow, brisker and smoother at the same time.

A great first cup in the morning.

I chilled some last night and as a black iced tea it is wonderful!!!

So much better than anything I tried from the supermarket. I say that because for years I thought tea was tea, especially black tea. How wrong I was!

Flavors: Bergamot, Lemon

Preparation
Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 4 tsp 32 OZ / 946 ML

Where to start? I am cuddlesmom in honor of the most amazing dachshund/terrier that ever lived (she lasted 19 years, passing away in 2015). Otherwise, I am a history teacher, wife and ardent Bond fan (Dalton being my favorite Bond on the screen).

I dabble in writing romance and suspense, (though the muse has gone on what appears to be an indefinite vacation as of late). I just finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow & have to say what a fun read that was!

As far as tea goes, I have been a dabbler for a longtime but since I recently discovered Harney & Sons in Target, I’ve gotten hooked on it. Since that first tin, I find myself more and more interested in trying new types of tea.

The Harney site, with its free shipping and samples, is a very dangerous place indeed.

As for my ratings, they are based on a standard scale: 100= Flawless perfection, 99-90= Excellent, 89-80= Above Average, 79-70= Average, 69-60= Below Average, 59-below Failing, poor tea IMO.

Irish Breakfast is my black non-flavored go to tea, raspberry has been pushed out by Harney’s Goji Fruit tea as my favorite fruit tea. I am starting to do more green teas and have just ordered my first oolong, so we will see how it goes.
