Charleston Breakfast from Charleston Tea Plantation

bryghtbeverages drank Charleston Breakfast by Charleston Tea Plantation

Received this tea yesterday from Bigelow. This is MUCH better than the Classic. Brews fast so give it a two-minute steep with near-boiled water or even three minutes if you like your tea with a more bold flavour. I still prefer the Ceylon blends, but this tea is definitely something with which I’ll experiment. I ripped a bag open and the leaf is a nice size which explains why it infuses so well. A very pleasant brew. It’s nice to know that they are paying attention to tea in the Lower 48!

*Addendum: I just blended it with a bag of Bigelow Premium Ceylon in a ten-ounce mug for three minutes and it was excellent!

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.
