Exceptionally smooth, beautifully rounded and made from some of our finest black teas, Gold Standard is a blend created for those who want something a little more special from their everyday cup. Rich enough to satisfy, yet refined enough to drink time and time again.
We bring together high-grade Ceylon, Assam and Nepalese black teas, each selected for the character it contributes to the finished blend. Assam provides richness and body, Ceylon brings brightness and structure, while the Nepalese tea adds a lighter, more refined character.
The result is a blend with remarkable balance. There is depth without heaviness, strength without harshness and a natural smoothness that carries right through to the finish. It is full enough to make a satisfying morning cup, while remaining elegant and easy to drink throughout the day.
Gold Standard was created around a simple idea: what happens when you make a traditional tea blend without compromising on the quality of the individual teas? Rather than relying on ordinary blending grades simply to create strength and colour, we use carefully selected, high-quality leaves that are each worthy teas in their own right.
Once brought together, those individual characteristics become something greater – a rich, rounded and beautifully composed black tea with a flavour that keeps drawing you back for another cup.
Enjoy it without milk to appreciate the balance and character of the blend, or add a splash for an exceptionally smooth and comforting cup.
This is everyday tea elevated – a blend made to live up to its name.
