This is my current favorite tea-with-milk staple. It’s bright and robust with no bitterness. We bought a decorative tin of it with the Jubliee Tea decorative tin online from F&M and I’m re-ordering this one in bulk and trying some of their other teas.
This is the tea that my father used to always bring back from his business trips to London, and I’m always going to love it probably more than it deserves. A nice strong Assam!
Backlogging a morning cup with milk and sugar from Thursday morning. I’ve still not had enough time with this tea to properly rate it. It’s strong, malty, smooth and takes milk and sugar very well. I’ve yet to drink it plain – once I will, I’ll probably rate it. I have a friend at work that loves Assam, and he adores this tea. I’ll try to dedicate more time to it this week, to see if it’s worth restocking or not.
I’ve had a very hectic week, so I’ll be doing some heavy backlogging today :)
Finally took the time to properly brew and taste this tea. Fantastic – sweet, with a slightly smokey taste, and a roasted hazelnut vibe to it. A very good tea that is going straight to my to buy list.

Another tea I love. See previous notes.
I got this tea in a tea swap from Ellyn, a fellow steepsterite!…. I was excited about this one, as I love all things that involve Monarchy and England! …. For a black tea, its quite sweet and light. It gives me a nice little kick in the butt to wake me up, but isn’t overpowering, or giving me the dehydrating feeling that strong, straight black teas tend to give me!

To drink tea from the Empire is an honour. It’s astonishingly refined and the flavours are so complex.
Perfection.
This is the best Earl Grey I have ever tasted. Far better than Twinings.
Finished the day with a cup of this. Very relaxing
Back logging from yesterday. A great afternoon tea
Morning brew. Eying the new teas at Verdant, but I know that I’m going to splurge on teas while in London, so I’m not sure if it’s worth buying now or waiting a month or two…

Had a cup of this after lunch today, while reading a book. This is one of my mother’s favourite teas and I can see why. A brisk, happy cup that goes well with anything – straight, with lemon/sugar/milk/mint etc. Very easy to brew and right for every occasion
Backlogging a cup sipped with a friend after a hard and rather bland week. He usually drinks cheap Wissozky tea bags, and so having his pick of about a dozen or so black teas was a new experience for him. He picked this one based on its lovely caddy, and we both enjoyed it very much. Tea is such fun to share!
An evening with a very good friend catching up on each other’s lives.
Rain plashing on the windows and roof.
And two hot cups of goodness.
A delicate and naturally sweet tea – made a perfect pre-lunch drink

Had a cup of this to round up my day, plus two cups of Golden Nepal from a German tea company that I can’t seem to find logged here and I was too busy to enter.
Planning my next trip toLondon while drink a lovely cup of this tea. Very appropriate :)
it’s been a while {of course I don’t update my steepster regularly} since I had a cup of this EG. I’m sticking with the high rate, the most enjoyable thing is the aftertaste, so bergamoty! I just read today of the existence of a couple of bergamot trees in California. It would be nice to make your homemade EG blend. I’ll do my research about such wanted fruit here in Mexico City
Extremely fragrant, floral tea with pronounced muscatel notes that has to be brewed for no more than a minute or two before it goes bitter. Slightly citrusy/acidic with some astringency, this is a perfect tea for after lunch.
The only minus? The price. Very very expensive tea.
