Ewa drank TB14: Scottish Breakfast Blend by Upton Tea Imports

382 tasting notes

This is the tea that I drank this morning instead of the Irish Breakfast that I had originally brewed. It’s what I had in my trusty “portable loose leaf tea kit.”

Well, besides the fact that it was in a tea bag and a paper cup and neither of those are going to do a tea any favors, it was perfectly serviceable. I think the Irish Breakfast packs more of an early morning punch though. Note: that may just mean that the Irish Breakfast comes out more bitter.

Bio

I’m a Pole who grew up in Texas, is currently a graduate student in California studying Japan. How’s THAT for random?

Being Polish, my family has always drunk a lot of tea, and I am no different. I may drink more tea than water. On the other hand, I can’t say that I’m very particular about it; I’m generally pretty careless with steeping times and water temperature and I don’t even have a proper teapot (mostly because the lid broke during the move to California ;_;).

I always drink my tea unsweetened and I only add milk in the case of the most egregiously chai-ish of chais. (not really a big fan of milk in general)

Given that so many of my entries seem to be about my morning tea, I felt I should add something here about me and mornings: I fail at mornings. I fail at them a LOT. Therefore I often also fail at proper tea making in the mornings.
