English Breakfast from Typhoo
34

Typhoo wasn’t allowed in our home when I was growing up. My father wouldn’t allow it. Not because he thought it was a bad tea (although it is), it was due to the fact that he hated the tele ads. He used to say that he’d lose an IQ point for every Typhoo advertisement he heard or saw. I have to agree with him. Since it was banned at home, I considered it forbidden fruit so I drank it at friends’ homes and any other such times that it was available to me. I never liked it, but it was forbidden to me and therefore was to be imbibed as often as possible. Call it rebellous youth. :)

Profile

Bio

British-born supporter of the Monarchy and of traditional tea times (including quitting work at 4:00 everyday!). I’ve no patience for herbal infusions as my palette was trained with blacks and greens. I own a small beverage shoppe in British Columbia and I get to enjoy all manner of teas and coffees and blends and mixes. I’m living the dream, as it were! I’ve traveled extensively whilst in the Royal Navy and have had ample opportunity to sample some of the world’s best teas. I import several varieties and spend alot time blending. I don’t have my own label but you can try some in my Shoppe! Major point: if what you’re drinking isn’t from camellia sinensis or camellia sinensis assamica…it isn’t tea.
