Details
The Buckingham Palace Garden Party Tea from English Tea Store is flavoury, medium bodied tea with delicate Earl Grey and Jasmine notes. Perfect as a light afternoon tea.
Every May, the Queen holds a garden party at Buckingham Palace, a lovely English springtime tradition. The tea that is served is a long time favorite, a delicious Palace medley specially selected for this occasion. Intriguing hints of high-grown pure Ceylon Earl Grey blend effortlessly with the soft jasmine from Fujian Province. Couple this with malty Assam (from the estate of Borengajuli) flavory Dimbula Ceylon (from Hatton), brisk and golden cup East of Rift Kenya (from Kambaa and Kagwe) and you have one of the most flavorful teas to come from the British Isles. Each cup is a cup of mystery - the flavors all come to the fore at separate times - one minute you taste the Earl Grey, the next second you can almost feel the soft floral notes of jasmine and finally you get the satisfying fullness of the Assam Ceylon and Kenya blend. Enjoy this tea and be a part of the annual tradition in the west gardens of Buckingham Palace...without having to dress up.
Traditional Chinese medicine indicates that Jasmine may be beneficial in combating colds, depression and muscle spasms. In some countries with long histories of herbalism and traditional medicine, i.e. China, cornflower petals are believed to aid digestion, strengthen the liver and protect the body against infections.

Buckingham Palace Garden Party Tea is gluten free, as well as nuts, wheat, crustacea, eggs, milk/dairy, sulfites, and soy lecithin free. This tea is packed at a factory that has nuts on the premises.
Caffeine content: Medium - This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of black tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 27 to 35 milligrams of caffeine. An equal sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.
Antioxidant Content: Very High - 10 - 12.49% polyphenols by dry weight. The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted. (Test results based on 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with lot, grade of tea, testing method, temperature of water and freshness of tea). More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis) the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.

Special Tea
I have been drinking BPGPT for years! I first purchased it as a sample. Black teas are what I gravitated to. This black tea with floral notes took me the whole sample pack before I developed a love for it. It has been my Go-To since. When I want to sit back and simply enjoy my surroundings, it takes me to a happy place! Sadly Over the years, the floral note just wasn’t like it used to be. I have found the perfect pairing to bring it back to perfection! I purchase either jasmine pearls, the Chinese Jasmine or My favorite Harney & Sons Dragon Pearl teabags and add this to the Buckingham Palace Garden Party - WOW it’s like the original blend. When I savor this tea, I feel like I’m in an old English castle settling down with a snifter of brandy (sans alcohol

Love it!
Here's how I drink it: Brew a small pot with two bags Buckingham, plus two bags Taylor's English Breakfast. Let steep indefinitely, stronger is good - it never gets bitter. Prepare a tall glass packed with ice. Throw in a spoon of sugar, and fill the glass 1/3 full of milk. Pour the tea over, until the color looks right. Drink. Repeat. All day long.

Awfull!
I don't write many negative reviews but I have to say that this last order of Buckingham Palace Garden Party Tea bags that I received was just AWFUL! The first time I ordered it I thought it was awesome. This last batch was different. When I first received it & opened the pouch I noticed that it had a very Strong smell first off, then when I tried brewing it the smell was still very strong. I tried drinking it but could not even finish the first cup as it was making my stomach feel queasy. I tried to brew some a couple more times on different days with the same result. Unfortunately for me, I ordered a pouch of 100 bags because I had liked it so much the first time. Now I am stuck with almost 100 bags of tea that I will not be drinking. I called customer service but was told there was nothing they could do as you cannot return food items. Needless to say, I am very disappointed & will not be ordering any more tea from English Tea Store in the near future.

Excellent!
This is hands down my favorite tea! When I was diagnosed with arrhythmia and told to cut out caffeine, I was so disappointed as it doesn’t come in decaf. Then I discovered I could kind of decaf it myself by letting the tea bag sit in the hot water for 30 seconds, remove the tea bag, discard the tea water and rebrew by reusing the wet tea bag. Supposedly that process removes considerable caffeine. In any case, it has worked for me and, thankfully, I am once again able to enjoy this superb tea.

Delicious Tea
I've been looking for a good, strong tea for the afternoon and this one meets my need. It is very delicious. Strong, but not bitter like some of them are.

Disappointed in the packaging
I ordered this tea and another tea to put in a gift basket. It did not arrive in the pretty green and pink bag like the one shown . It arrived in a solid black tea bag. It did not go with the pink flowered tea pot and cups I had chosen for the basket . The other tea I ordered came in the bag as shown. So, I had one black tea bag and one pink and green to put in the basket.:(

This tea has a flavor that is a knockout. I think it is one of the best I have ever had, and that is among many. It is a delicious afternoon treat. It will be a staple in my home from now on.
