I got the Plum District deal for Sanctuary T, and used it to get a lot of teasers! This is one that I’ve been interested in for a bit…I’m currently having a mild obsession with different breakfast blends. English, Irish, Scottish, French, New England…I’ve been browsing all kinds of them at various online shops (it’s a miracle I haven’t ordered them all). So, when I was perusing the Sanctuary T site plotting what to get, and saw Soho Breakfast, I couldn’t pass it up.
It’s a good, solid, robust blend. It’s got a creamy, hearty mouthfeel, and I can taste notes of bakiness (is that a real word?), and something almost like vanilla, but kind of citrusy as well. It’s definitely a good first cup o’ the morning. I think that next time, though, I’ll brew at 5 minutes to see what happens. I have a feeling that this would be even better if it were stronger.

I know what you mean about breakfast blends. What is it about them that inspire such completionistism and collector feelings?
It’s like I have to know what makes each of them different. Someday, when I’ve got a solid collection of breakfast blends (I’ve only got, oh, about 6 right now), I plan on doing a side by side, cup by cup comparison so I am able to definitively know the nuances between the blends. I’m afraid the obsession is spilling over to chais now, too…
