Lori drank American Breakfast by The Simple Leaf

When I previously posted this note, I was asked to compare this tea w/Mountain Malt. I would have to say this one is MUCH BOLDER as would be expected from a CTC tea. But even though it is bold it is in no way astringent or unpleasant. Just a solid, bold black tea for the morning. I will be placing a full order of this tea.

Simple Leaf provides $5 sample packs that are quite generous..

I love Mountain Malt, so this one will also be on my next order.

Ooh I need to try this when I place an order for Mountain Malt.

I know—their “sample” packs are generous! They’re like the “regular” size of other tea companies!

Bio

Just a few months ago the only tea I drank was hot lipton tea at work, an occasional mint tea, and sweet iced tea.. Then my daughter got me some loose leaf teas for Christmas and then, my tea addiction began…..

And what better way to get lots of dessert flavors w/o the calories?

I prefer my tea with a tinge of sugar. Is that cheating? But to me , the combination of sugar and tea is like salt and cooking- both bring out the natural flavors.

My tea drinking has evolved into a set routine: a breakfast blend in the AM, some flavored blacks during the day, late afternoon or evening flavored green/white, herbal (usually spicy, chai inspired) at night.

Not into unflavored greens/whites yet. Just started appreciating unflavored blacks and am thinking that smoky teas may become my favorite…
When I am not drinking tea, I am working as an engineer, reading, watching some of the better TV shows (like Damages and Breaking Bad), practicing my yoga, cooking, gardening, and spoiling my two miniature poodles (Coco and Timmy)…
