Well as a blizzard slams NJ, I took off of work, I did not want to drive in these conditions, end of story. Anyway, since it is breakfast time and I can have a full breakfast on my day off, I will have some Breakfast Tea. I chose this one because it was on top.
The leaves are small and black and give a distinctly black tea smell. Ceylon. They do not smell unique or intriguing, just like black tea. I’m fine with this. Brewed 4 minutes hot, with no additives. As I have said, I traditionally take breakfast tea with milk and sweetener, but I chose to try this on it’s own first.
The initial aroma of the brewed tea is what I expected, it is black tea: with the subtle earthy aroma with a hint of natural sweetness, maybe honey. Smells wonderful. The flavor however, goes so much further beyond the smell, it is earthy and rich, it is smooth and sweet without any sweetener, there is a full-bodied flavor going on here without any effort at all.
This tastes like the ideal you hope to get out of every black tea they serve you at a restaurant; it’s like an older, now-stale bag, you know what you want to taste, and what you want to taste is rich, smooth, full-bodied range of pick-me-up and start-my-day tea. This is EXACTLY what you are getting from this French Breakfast tea, hearty yet delicious black tea. I am so glad I added nothing to this, I may have to go back and try all of the other breakfast teas I adulterated by adding milk and sweetener.
Also, as a note, expect a full array of ratings today, the day is young, and I have no where to be. Until then!

Haha, that’s how I feel. There is zippy reason to be out on the street when it’s snowing/snowed this heavily unless it’s absolutely necessary, stir crazy or not. There was an article on washingtonpost.com that actually started, “Some idiot was sliding around near Arlington’s Court House Metro station…” It’s pathetic and hilarious, because it’s true.
And I love that a newspaper article started out with “some idiot.”
Well, the newspaper was absolutely right, you should stay inside unless it is dire during these storms, it’s three days later and we are barely just dug out of this one. We got 18 inches, and the state was not ready for it.
