Dry: Smells like a classic English Breakfast blend. Small, dark loose tea.
Steeped: Brown clear liquor. Full-bodied aroma that I associate with a wake-me-up morning cuppa.
Taste: This one didn’t wow me, but it is as promised: a straight-up classic English Breakfast tea. I enjoy it with nothing added, but my favorite is with a splash of 2% milk. No bitterness or astringency noted, quite robust in flavor. Held up nicely for two steeps and could have gone further if I had wanted, I’m sure. My husband, who enjoys English and Irish Breakfast more than I do, really likes it.
