Maddy Barone drank Scottish Breakfast by Taylors of Harrogate

767 tasting notes

My friend from Winnipeg crashed at my place last night. She is not a coffee drinker, but luckily I am a hybrid morning caffeine person. That is, I start with a cup of coffee and finish with some tea. I had a tin of this on hand so we brewed up a pot. This is not a fancy tea, but it is hearty enough to be satisfying, and mild enough to escape the dreaded bitterness and/or astringency that some (cheapo) breakfast teas give you. It is bagged tea, and I got the box of 20 bags for less than $3 US, so I call that a win.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
