gmathis drank English Breakfast by Adagio Teas

English breakfast, in my personal set of tea stereotypes, is Irish breakfast that just couldn’t make the varsity team. But this is a really nice surprise. Stout enough to wake you up, not just jostle you. Cheapskate that I am, I tend to use about half the leaf I normally should, but I splurged this morning and put a full two-spoon measure into my travel mug. Glad I did.

Ha! I love your definition of an English breakfast (and not just because I tend to agree with it!)

I love your description of English Breakfast :) I know what you mean…for me, English Breakfast is just Sugar Tea…a little bit of tea and a lot of milk and honey and white sugar, nomnomnom!

Made a pot that wasn’t quite as strong this morning; catching some “toasty” that didn’t pop out earlier. Still nice.

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
