We don’t really need an excuse to drink tea, but realizing King Charles’s coronation will be televised for our viewing amusement bright and early on the morning of Saturday May 6, 2023 could only be a sign that a very special cuppa will be imminently required.
We are looking forward to much pageantry as we see His Majesty King Charles III crowned alongside The Queen Consort, so put up some DIY royal bunting and fortify yourself for a few hours of historic telly with this wonderfully rich Royal Tea Latte recipe that we think would be perfect for the occasion. It’s made with Murchie’s Coronation Blend, that highlights Darjeeling and Sri Lankan black teas. Not only is Darjeeling a known favourite of King Charles, it also boasts notes of muscatel grape, earning it the name “champagne of teas.” Could it be any more perfect? The Sri Lankan black tea in the blend adds a robust quality making it just right to stand up to the extra milk used in this tea latte recipe. Pinkies up!
The Tasting Lab has been an Idea and pet project for a while, so I'm glad I get to see it come to fruition. It was conceived as a way to showcase ideas, finds, and old blending classics from the Big Black Book that haven't seen the light of day in decades, possibly even a century. A way to glimpse the ideas that go on behind the scenes at Head Office, and bring others along on an interesting taste-journey.
Experimentation has its ups and downs; occasionally you come across a tea you adore, but can't source the quantities you need for a full release. Sometimes you have ideas for flavour combinations that are so out there, you don't know if anyone else would be willing to try. Murchie's has a lot of history, and I look forward to exploring some of it with interested tea drinkers.
We love a treat anytime but especially a chocolate treat at Easter, and this soda fountain classic “egg cream” would make anybunny smile at Easter brunch. Served in a tall frosty glass, it's satisfyingly both chocolatey and refreshing! Try this recipe for a Murchie’s version.
Oh, how we have a special place in our hearts for Earl Grey! We can always rely on a good cuppa whether it be first thing with crispy toast, in the afternoon with sandwiches or a decaf version for after dinner with biscotti. But with chocolate? Only Easter inspires such a perfect combo. Read on for a surprisingly easy to make recipe for egg shaped Earl Grey chocolate truffles.
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, try your luck with our tasty Irish Potato Scone recipe.
