For the tea to take the name of Sir Francis Drake, it must have a very special strength that comes from deep within, and a character that is not easily forgotten. With one of the greatest Englishmen that ever lived in mind, the experts at Plymouth Tea came up with this blend which accurately described the man best known for finishing his game of bowls before bringing about one of the greatest victories in history against the Spanish Armada.
The Taste: A strong blend of selected Indian and African teas, Drake's Blend is for the tea drinker who likes a rich character and body from their tea. Dark red in colour and strong in aroma.
Serving Suggestion: Drake's blend has been designed to be served with milk as it is strong in flavour.
Drake's blend is to be enjoyed with savoury meals on returning from a long days work or from a trip.
Directions: Boil some water and use a little to warm the pot. Empty, and add one teaspoon of tea per person, plus one for the pot. Fill with boiling water and allow to brew for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
