Yingde is said to be Queen Elizabeth II's favorite tea. This is my wife's favorite black tea, too. We tried all the black teas Great Tea Road sells (and many black teas from other companies) and we both liked this one the best. Her daily drinker is the Great Tea Road English Breakfast, which she also likes, but this is nice for a special treat. Yingde is said to be Queen Elizabeth II's favorite tea. I'm more of a green tea/oolong drinker myself, so I'm not the best judge of black teas, but I like this more than other black teas. It smells really good. To me, it tasted like a better, more floral, more complex version of the standard western black tea I saw growing up in Minnesota.
