Enjoyed first thing in the morning, out of a tin enamel mug.
I had this tea before I had breakfast, since the morning was a bit rushed.
This is a very straightforward tea. A little bit of malt, but the same smoothness you would find in a solid black tea. There is some tannin on the finish, with a tasty body that doesn’t overload the senses. I brewed mine a bit strong but that’s how I like it, and for that it didn’t acquire any of the bite you might find in Scottish or Irish breakfast teas. Some people are looking for that bite however to counter with some cream or sugar.
This is a solid choice for a bagged tea, with traditional flavors. It’s limited due to that but I would have no qualms about enjoying a cup each morning.
The caffeine fix was definitely noticed within about 20 minutes, this blend is a great standard for workers and homebody’s alike.
Flavors: Malt, Tannin
