ladycashasatiger: Fortnum & Mason reveals new Waterloo Gunpowder Blend Tea for £9.95.To commemorate the Battle of Waterloo, a defining moment in European history, we have introduced this special blend. Throughout the long Napoleonic Wars, and in all theatres of war, Fortnum & Mason supplied officers of Wellington’s army with the comforts of home, including strong China tea. The blend is made largely from Gunpowder green tea that has a clear dark green liquor and a robust green grassy character. It is then sweetened and rounded using equal portions of golden Yunnan leaf and the caramel-sweet nuttiness of Keemun. The slight smokiness and metallic appearance of the gunpowder are reminiscent of the battlefield at dawn. Taste & strengthSmooth with a sweet, nutty character I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. -- source link
