Harney & Sons Queen Catherine Loose Leaf Tea

Queen Catherine Tea - A Homage to a Queen, a Blend of Three Chinese Black Teas

Inspired by the legacy of Queen Catherine of Braganza, Queen Catherine Tea combines the rich flavors of Keemun, Panyang, and Yunnan black teas. This blend honors her contribution to tea culture and features in the prestigious Museum of Tea in Hangzhou, China.

Origins and Significance

In 1988, a project by a branch of the Portuguese government aimed to improve Portugal’s image by building a statue of Queen Catherine in New York City. Although the statue project didn't materialize, Queen Catherine Tea was commissioned and lived on. A tin of this tea was given to the President of China in a memorable day, and the tea was exhibited at the renowned Museum of Tea in Hangzhou, China. It is the only tea from a western source at this historic museum.

A Blend of Timeless Flavors

This unique blend comprises three Chinese black teas: - Keemun - Known for its distinctive smoky notes and smooth finish. - Panyang - Renowned for its delicate flavor and subtle sweetness. - Yunnan - Features a robust, malty profile and a lingering aftertaste.
