Ooh—haven’t seen this one, but it sounds like something that would (sorry, can’t resist) float my boat.

Gmathis: I believe Titanic is the same blend as Palm Court if you have had that one!

I want to say I’ve tried Palm Court, but it’s probably been years.

Strong, tannic, breakfast tea. Probably best with milk / sugar; since I don’t use those, even my 15 second steep produced a very hearty cup. Good for one of those seldom times I want a stiff cup of tea. A Traditional black, pekoe cut tea.

drank Irish Breakfast Tea by Twinings
137 tasting notes

Nice breakfast tea, but can be very strong if steeped a long time. With a 20 seconds steep, and no milk or sugar, produces a nice smooth morning tea.
If you steep for a couple minutes, you start to get the strong tannins present, and it has a bite, but maybe good if you like milk and sugar, that will come thru.

Preparation
0 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

It’s a good no-brain, no-frills staple. (Making mental note to see if I have a few bags left.)

A very distinctive tea from normal black teas; nice and smooth.
I like it for a change of pace.
For me, a good breakfast tea.
Light enough I can brew for several minutes and still drink it straight.

Preparation
