Greetings all,

I've recently discovered and ejoyed the Prince of Wlaes variet sold by
Twinings and packaged in a black box.

Can someone point me to similar variety ?

I suppose this is a blend. If so, what kind of teas are part of this blend
?

Thanks in advance

B.

Lots of folks have Prince of Wales blends.

It's a blend of various black China teas. If you like it, try a good
Keemun black and a good Yunnan.

I got a "Prince of Wales" blend from Teavana on clearance last year.
Is there green tea in it? I swear I saw bits of what looked like
pinhead gunpowder in it.

Only other PoW I've had is teabags from Twinings; I'd heard somewhere
that they invented the blend.

Dunno about gunpowder but a lot of the Prince of Wales blends have
some sort of oolong in them.

They've been around for a long time.

Since I like PoW, myself, I made a note to myself about this a year ago:

From http://www.iridis.com/glivar/Prince_of_Wales_tea_blend:

"The Prince of Wales is a regal tea blend typically served in the afternoon
with
scones. It is full bodied with hints of royal black currant. It is a bright
liquoring tea whose ingredients may include Assam, Lucky Dragon, Keemun,
Oolong,
or Gunpowder with larkspur, and always a hint of black currant. Its many
variations are produced by multiple companies one of which is the Twinings
of
London company."

Description from Twining's: "A bright liquoring tea with Keemun character
with
a hint of Oolong."

Since then, I discovered that I don't like the Assam-based PoWs, only
Keemun-based. Of course, YMMV.

HTH.
