John Murchie's unconventional tea blending ideas resulted in one of Murchie's most famous blends, one that has been a best seller for decades. Murchie's No. 10 Blend is a mild, sweet combination of gunpowder and jasmine greens, with Keemun and Ceylon black teas, perfect for any time of day. Lightly aromatic with a soft, smooth flavour, that goes great with an afternoon scone topped with Murchie's Lemon Curd.
Our No. 10 Blend was selected in 1996 as the best beverage out of over 300 products sampled at the Canadian Association of Specialty Food.

Our "go to" tea Review by Jacqueline
My husband and I have been drinking this tea for over 15 years - we absolutely enjoy it's balanced flavours and smooth finish. We've tried many other lovely teas over the years but keep coming back to this one!

I love Murchie's black and green tea blends. Murchies makes a wide selection of black green blends and they are fantastic. My husband, a coffee drinker, is drinking Murchie's black green tea blends every day now. His favorite is Waterfront.

I couldn't believe my order it arrived today and I only ordered it yesterday! I am very familiar with the #10 Blend and the Afternoon Blend but anxious to try the Ms Grey and Spiced Orange. I've had #10 since I was a little girl. My mother first bought it on her honeymoon and always kept it around. I love Twinings Lady Grey and I expect this will be even better. I had to taste an Earl Grey Shortbread and a bit of the Blueberry Orange Marmalade. Both are yummy! I definitely will be ordering more of everything in the future.

The current reviews giving Number 10 Blend a perfect rating say it all. Absolutely the best tea; the only choice for my husband. Our entire family loves it.

My husband only drinks one kind of tea. Murchies #10. So he's a little narrow in his preferences, but when tasted this for the first time I had to agree. This is GREAT tea.

Two years ago I took a walking foodie tour in Victoria. Murchie's was on the tour and No. 10 was the tea. I came home with tea in my suitcase and I have never turned back. Murchie's No. 10 is my go-to absolute best tea. I've spread the love by sending gifts of it to friends and family because why wouldn't you? This tea makes me smile and relax and just feel the way a person should.

I love tea. I always have. I love a wide variety of teas. But there is none that can compare to Murchie's No. 10 Blend. It is, to me, the pinnacle, and not merely the pinnacle of teas, but the pinnacle of all beverages.

I was given an Anniversary Box as a gift and all of the teas included were premium quality. The No.10 Blend, however, greeted me with its heavenly fragrance and won me over with its incredible flavour!

I have been brewing No. 10 Blend for almost 40 years. My sister in Seattle told me to buy some on my honeymoon to Victoria and I have been hooked ever since. I wake up to a cup every day! I like it plain, or with a little milk in it. I have never had anything like it - it is lovely.
Posted on 2020-10-14Unique Review by Joel
This is a tea I've never had elsewhere. A lovely slight jasmine flavor, and a reduced amount of caffeine for when you don't need a full-strength cup (for instance, at dinner).
Posted on 2020-04-18A beautiful tea blend! Review by Rena
No. 10 was recommended by one of the staff and it's been a favorite of mine ever since. I love this tea blend!
Posted on 2019-03-18Stuck on No. 10 Blend Review by Rsvpcolette
I’ve been hooked on Murchies No. 10 Blend since I first tried it in 1974 while living in Victoria, B.C. It is a very rich black Ceylon tea with a mix of undetectable green tea. There is nothing like it and no need for milk or honey to mar its delicious rich flavour. Highly recommended!

This has been my favorite tea for over 20 years!

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
