Okay, so I’ve had this one (and Biscuit Brew, and Bedtime Brew) for a while now, but had never tried any of them. And that kind of tends to happen with newer and/or larger teas in my cupboard, because I’m constantly sipping down which tends to draw my focus more to older and smaller sized teas. But for some reason I decided to try this one today!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much since it’s a classic-style teabag full of fannings from an inexpensive grocery store company. I don’t tend to like breakfast blend sort of teas as loose leaf, let alone as a teabag.
But this one blew my mind a little bit. The smell of it steeping was scrumptious, and the taste is exactly the same. It completely does taste like toast with raspberry jam. There’s a golden toasted bread note to it, along with sweet jammy raspberry. And then there’s this buttery quality that really makes this tea, IMO. So it’s definitely toast with butter and jam, or perhaps even a thumbprint cookie with raspberry jam.
Now the black tea does have a touch of astringency to it, but overall it’s really a delicious tea. I don’t generally add milk to tea, but I might have to try a drizzle of oat milk in this one to smooth out those tannins. Regardless, super impressed with it. I can’t wait to try the Biscuit Brew too!

I had standard Yorkshire Gold this morning, which is one of my favorite teabag breakfast teas. I’ve never seen this and it sounds amazing!
I’m not sure how commonly available it is, I ordered it from a British import store website. Looks like Amazon has it but it’s pricey. Let me know if you’d like a sample!
Did the online store happen to be brits.com? I have friends who have told me that if I ever visited their storefront, I would never leave. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no other reason to travel to that corner of Kansas.
Looks like it wasn’t a British import store, but a website based in the UK that ships worldwide: britishcornershop.com!
(Just peeked at it. How fun!)
