To commemorate our 125th anniversary (1894 – 2019) we’ve created a tea founded on the heritage of our oldest and best-loved blends.
A classic blend for the discerning palate, this traditional tea lends a sense of elegance to any occasion. Join us in marking this special milestone, and celebrate Murchie’s tradition of excellence by sharing a sip of luxury with family and friends.
Part of the Murchie's mission has always been to introduce our customers to special teas that evoke a sense of heritage that feels familiar - centuries old and yet fresh and new. Anniversary Blend features Keemun and Assam with Yunnan and Gunpowder, which would have been quite a special tea for tea lovers of the late 1800's and we believe will delight today's palate equally!

Nice blend Review by Patricia
This is one of my favorites. Will order again.

Outstanding taste - bright and bold. I have been mail ordering Murchies since 1989. My favourites are the Assam and Ceylon styles and this blend is my new number one. Thanks for over 32 years of excellence.
Posted on 2021-09-06Pleasantly Surprised! Review by ['Tealess in Seattle']
I recently ordered 8 different small pouches of various Murchies teas trying to find my new "go to" cup since my local grocer changed the formula of my favorite teabag. I didn't notice this was a black/green blend when I ordered it or I probably wouldn't have, as I love black tea. But to my surprise, this is the favorite of all the blends I've tried! it is an exceptionally smooth cup of tea, yet with a nice aroma. While I wouldn't call it, "bold", it definitely knows how to stand up for itself. ~no longer Tealess in Seattle

A perfect match for a ploughman’s lunch or a piece of pineapple upside down cake. The tea is full-bodied, the flavour is wholesome and sits nicely as a sip or washes down a bite of comfort food. It sure brightens up a dull afternoon or lifts the spirits. This is a partner to good conversation.

I am very pleased with this blend and I am very delighted to this as a part of my collection. A combination of all my favourite teas that is delicious as well as bold without milk, and with milk a touch of welcomes sweetness! I’m happy to enjoy this either way! This tea has happily become a part of my collection that will continue to be there. Happy 125 anniversary! May there be many more! Bravo!

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.
