This is my flat-out “Dudley Do-Right” never fail me tea. It is familiar to my tongue, as I was raised on “80 bags a box” tea….but this tea is what THAT tea SHOULD have been. It is earthy, malty, whole-mouth goodness. When it’s a chilly, rainy morning, and I’ve got scones baking in the oven, I know which tea I will reach for to make a simple great cup of tea to have with breakfast. I’m still sampling all sorts of assams and other black teas that take milk and sugar well, but for now, this is my standard cup. Well played, Harney. You’re in the lead so far!

Mmm, this sounds lush. I’ll drink the “80 bags a box” stuff in a pinch, when I have to, but man, I couldn’t go back to it now as an everyday brew. There’s just so much better stuff out there!

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
