Description

This is a blend of black teas, combining malty, richness with aromatics perfectly, producing a wonderfully rounded, soothing cup to refresh the palate.

Presented in a Brodies gift tin, it makes a thoughtful present for any tea lover.

The blend brings a deep, malty strength that stands up well to milk, as well as a brighter, more aromatic lift, so the cup stays lively rather than heavy.

This makes an easy-drinking black tea for any time of day, from breakfast to an afternoon pot.

The large leaves need room to open, so brew it in a teapot or a roomy infuser. The tin keeps the tea fresh on the shelf. Once the tea has been enjoyed, it makes a handy caddy to refill again and again.

Our story

Assam and Ceylon: two teas with Scottish roots

Our Royal Scottish blend brings together two of the world's best-known black teas. Both have a story that leads back to Scotland.

Assam
Tea grows wild in the Assam region of north-east India. In 1823, the Scottish trader Robert Bruce was shown native tea plants there with the help of local Singpho people, and his brother Charles went on to help establish some of the first tea gardens in the region. Today Assam is famous for strong, malty black teas with a rich colour, the backbone of many British blends.
Ceylon
Ceylon was the name of Sri Lanka until 1972, and tea from the island is still sold as Ceylon tea. Its tea industry began in 1867, when James Taylor, a Scot from Kincardineshire, planted the first commercial tea estate at Loolecondera. It's the same year Brodies was founded in Edinburgh. Ceylon teas are known for their bright, aromatic character.
Why blend them?
Each tea brings something the other lacks. Assam gives body and maltiness; Ceylon adds lift and fragrance. Blended together, they make a cup that's full without being heavy, and smooth enough to drink with or without milk.

Brodies has been blending tea in Scotland since 1867. Looking for a stronger morning cup? Try our Scottish Breakfast Loose Leaf Gift Tin. For something lighter, our Famous Edinburgh Loose Leaf Gift Tin is our signature blend. Explore all our loose leaf teas and our gifting range.

What our customers say

How to brew

1 tspper person
100°freshly boiled
3-5minutes

Warm the pot first, then add one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup. Pour on freshly boiled water, cover and leave for 3 to 5 minutes, then strain. Three minutes gives a lighter cup; leave it closer to five if you take milk.

Brewing tip

Always start with freshly drawn water. Water that has been boiled again and again tastes flat, and so will your tea.

Royal Scottish gift tin FAQs

Clear, simple answers to help you make an informed choice.

What's in the blend?

Two large-leaf black teas: a malty Assam from India and an aromatic Ceylon from Sri Lanka.

What does it taste like?

A wonderfully rounded, smooth cup: malty and full from the Assam, with a brighter, aromatic lift from the Ceylon.

How much tea is in the tin?

The tin contains 100g of loose leaf tea, enough for around 40 to 50 cups at a teaspoon per cup. (Confirm with the client.)

How should I brew it?

Use one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup and pour over freshly boiled water (100°C). Steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like it, then strain.

Should I add milk?

It's up to you. The malty Assam stands up well to milk, while the Ceylon keeps it bright enough to enjoy black or with a slice of lemon.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes. It's made with black tea, which naturally contains caffeine.

Can I refill the tin?

Yes. Once the tea is finished, the tin makes a handy caddy for your favourite loose leaf tea.

Is it ready to give as a gift?

Yes, it comes in a Brodies gift tin, ready to wrap and give. Pair it with a box of our all butter Scottish shortbread for a complete Scottish tea gift.
