On May 6th 2023, we celebrate King Charles III's official Coronation. In commemoration, Murchie's has once again returned to its roots to craft a medium-bodied, incredibly bright and invigorating blend of black teas. Darjeeling-forward, this tea features winey muscatel notes, walnuts, almonds, and toasted grains, fresh hay, and rounded out with a biscuity sweet note reminiscent of clover honey.

This tea is lighter in body than our classic Prince Charles, making it an ideal Afternoon companion to the original. Fans of Diamond Jubilee will also find this blend similar and comforting.

Bold and Strong  Review by  ['Edmonton West']

Ordered this tea ahead of time and enjoyed it for the first time Coronation Day. Brews up dark and fairly strong, a good tea to start your day with. Just what you need on a rainy day. Very smooth after taste.

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.

  1. Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
  2. 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.
