Downton Abbey Mrs. Patmore's Pudding Black Tea, 36 Ct

Fantastic tea! I'm a tea snob and wouldn't have ordered this for myself, as I was worried the vanilla flavor would be overpowering. My husband bought it for me for Christmas and I'm so glad he did! This has a delicious flavor that is not vanilla forward, much to my delight. It's a dessert tea, but I enjoy it all day! I take mine without milk or sugar and it's perfect. Invited a friend over for tea, and she loved it too. We paired it with crackers, havarti cheese, and a cherry rosemary jam. I think it would be especially great paired with shortbread, too. Enjoy!

I’ve never watched the show, so I have no idea who the character is, but I’ll be darned if this isn’t the best breakfast tea I’ve ever had. I have to use two bags per cup, since directions call for one bag per 6-8oz, but it’s so worth it. Splash of milk and a dash of sugar; divine!

LOVE this tea! Originally purchased it at the Downton Abbey Exhibit and then found it on Amazon allowing me to continue to purchase. The flavor is great, not overwhelming but you definitely get small hints of caramel and vanilla which I love to enjoy later in the evening.

Nice flavor for an afternoon cup of tea with a scone or cookie

I’ve given this tea to friends because I love mine so much. I enjoy mine with honey. It’s a smooth, delicious tea.

As soon as I saw that The Republic of Tea had a Downton Abbey themed line of tea, I knew I had to buy at least one to try. I chose Mrs. Patmore's Pudding Tea. It's labeled as a "decadent dessert tea," something you'd have after dinner in place of that favorite slice of cake, cookie, or brownie (or maybe even coupled with one of these). Honestly, dessert tea is not something I'd had before. I'm used to sweet tea (living in the South), green tea, and some herbal teas. So, this was my very first experience, and I have to say, I'll be drinking it again. Let's start with the packaging. It's pretty straightforward: there's a gold-colored lid that pops off. Inside are 36 tea bags. The great thing about The Republic of Tea is they package their teas in airtight tins. When you're finished with said tea, instead of throwing away the tin, you can purchase refills at a lower price than what it'd cost to buy a new tin. Plus, who doesn't want a cute tea tin in their house, especially one inspired by Downton Abbey? The tea bags themselves are unbleached sacks, free of any envelopes, tags, strings, or staples. The Republic of Tea prides themselves on being certified gluten-free, and the majority of their teas are carb-free, sugar-free, and non-GMO. Their tea leaves are of the highest quality, and are grown on tea plantations around the world. The actual drinking experience was enjoyable. A sweet aroma left my cup before I ever took a sip. Mrs. Patmore's Pudding Tea is supposed to taste like vanilla sponge cake drizzled in a rich caramel sauce. I had read that a splash of milk in this tea is amazing, but honestly, I haven't tried it yet. Definitely next time, though!

Love this tea

Delicious tea! Arrived so quickly!!
