Few weeks ago, a collegue of mine gave me that tea caddy because she is not a tea drinker.
So I do own a new beautiful tea caddy and a new tea to taste. Problem : this is a plain blend from Breakfast type and I am very picky with these types of teas.
I get scared by the leaf ! Broken soooo broken… I’m going to take a ride on the strong side of the tea it seems !
So I decide to steep it only 2 minutes in a water at 90°c to lower the strengh of the Assam
The liquor is from a deep orange.
Tasting it , I was right to be a little afraid : Assam is there and so present with its strong bitterness.
Of course as any Breakfast Tea it is quite malty. It reveals orange notes as well, strangely.
I am trying to add a splash of milk . English Tea is comfortable and cosy. It is against my habits. But let’s get crazy and let’s add some sugar rocks.
Verdict : England won again … yes with some milk and sugar this tea is quite pleasant…this is the reason why English people have their breakfast tea that way, no ?
I am not the public for Strong Breakfast teas nor indian teas but once pimped my cup is nice.

sometimes milk and tea is just fantastic, with the right tea!
And this brand, i went snooping, and I wonder if their teas are dammann´s as well? Noel a paris, Jardin Bleu? They only call 3 of their teas exclusive, the others might not be.
it is absolutely a possibility Teresa…I won’t be surprised
