TheKesser drank English Breakfast by DAVIDsTEA

Another sample that I got and haven’t logged yet.

I’m starting to find that I don’t care for the English Breakfast teas. This is the second one I’ve tried and I just think it’s not really my thing. I prefer an orange pekoe as it’s a bit milder. I think I just find the English Breakfast teas to be too much. They are quite strong and I don’t really enjoy them the way that I would want to. Gonna leave the last bit of my sample for my hunny to try. He said he tried some this week of a different brand and seemed to enjoy, so he might like this one.

I dislike EBs as well! more because I find them boring somehow. The aspects I love in an Assam or Ceylon disappear when they are blended together, IMO

Nice to know I’m not the only one :)

Bio

My love of tea didn’t start until a few years after highschool, when a friend of mine made me an Orange Pekoe tea with milk and sugar. It was like drinking sweet nectar from heaven. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked.

I’ve remained loyal to my orange pekoe, but I have branched out to embrace different flavours and kinds of tea. Now, I drink loose leaf teas. The difference in taste and quality is amazing! I know I’ll never go back.

I would have to say, my favourite kinds are (in no particular order): black, herbal and rooibos (both red and green, but I usually enjoy green just a little bit more).

White and green teas are never usually the ones that I go for, but I must admit they are finally growing on me! I’m starting to really appreciate them.

Now I’m on a quest to drink as much tea as I can and enjoy every minute of it.

I don’t really have any specific rating system, but I’m working on it.
