[1] Typically served in the afternoon with scones in Britain,[citation needed] the blend was originally devised for Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII and after his abdication the Duke of Windsor.
[2] Prince Edward first granted Twinings permission to sell his personal blend using his royal title in 1921.
This blend is light in color and has a smooth and mild taste, with a well-rounded character.
Great in the late morning or in the afternoon, it is perfect with or without milk and can be sweetened to taste.
In Germany the Paul Schrader GmbH & Co. KG Bremen (founded in 1921) has offered a version since 1958 consisting of Chinese black teas and Darjeeling with a pinch of Lapsang souchong.
