English Breakfast Tea from Golden Moon Tea

JacquelineM drank English Breakfast Tea by Golden Moon Tea

Taken with a teaspoon of sugar and half and half.

Oh BOY I think this is the best English Breakfast Blend I’ve ever had the pleasure to sip! Complex and nuanced – I feel like I can taste the slightly fruity darjeeling-ness, a bit of smoky chewy Keemun-ness, and a robust malty Assam-ness and the Ceylon is smoothing things nicely – it is an invisible binder in a way – I don’t taste it but I feel it’s doing its job. I think what is making this a standout to me is the fruitysmoky. Very unique. Very enjoyable! Very much a whole tin kinda tea!!! I’d like to take it to 5 minutes and see what I get – there was absolutely no bitterness at 4 minutes and you know I like em bold :)

This one is smooth enough and delicious to be drunk straight as well! Seriously love this one!

I’d like to try that as an afternoon tea at perhaps 3 minutes! I took a sip before adding my additions and it was delightfully fruity!

This one is amazing if you’re familiar with black teas (like you are!). It’s just SO much fun, picking out the different varities in here. LOVE this one. Definitely my favorite English Breakfast! SO happy you agree!

This is on my list to try this afternoon! (Great minds and all that)

Nice description, I’ll have to add this one to my shopping list.

Me, too! Haven’t had any GM yet, but I am going to start compiling a list of their teas and adding this one on to it – though I may just do that 31 tea sampler they have on their website and get all their products in one go – y’know just to try and find all my favorites.

JacquelineM 2010-03-04 16:28:34 -0500

Lauren – the sampler is sooooo fun! That’s what I did!!

~lauren. 2010-03-04 16:35:29 -0500

Can I ask something? When you got your GM sampler, did you add all 31 to your steepster cupboard … how did you treat that sampler? From what I understand, you only get one serving of each tea …

JacquelineM 2010-03-04 16:41:39 -0500

No I didn’t – I only add things that I have at least an ounce of. None of my samples are in my cupboard. Some people do, though! I guess it depends on how much time you want to devote to it – I thought it would drive me crazy putting the samples in and out. I also like to use my cupboard as a list of things that I can offer to people as samples – like if someone offers to send me a sample of something I can say Look at my cupboard to see what you want for a trade! but I couldn’t do that with the things I only have a sample of…

Good point – organizationally, right now, I only have teas in my s.cupboard if I have more than one serving of it. Also, serves as a reminder that I do physically own it and can try it if a particular tealog from one of my steepster friends catches my eye.

Just to round out this discussion, ordered the GM 31 Sampler! Used ‘Steepster’ as coupon code for free shipping! I can’t wait to try this tea! So very :)

JacquelineM 2010-03-04 21:05:54 -0500

YAY!! There are so many delicious ones! Enjoy!

~lauren. 2010-03-04 21:07:11 -0500

Oh no…. the waiting now begins for the delivery person!

teaplz 2010-03-04 21:09:19 -0500

Yay! So happy you jumped into the fray, Lauren! It’s going to be so much fun for you! :)

~lauren. 2010-03-04 21:19:23 -0500

There’s no stopping me now! hehehehe :)
