I am having this blend of English Teatime taken from my in-laws pantry. And yes, I helped myself to their teas at time. I take one tea bag (placing it in my cup) and steep it in hot water for five minutes.
The tea’s color is dark amber with a somewhat roasted aroma and tasting slightly of malt with nothing added to the tea. Tea is smooth and full-bodied, with nothing added, I find that the tea is not astringent all instead having a smooth finish upon swallowing.
This tea is ideal for those favoring milk/cream and sugar with their tea which would make a good cup of morning tea and mid-day drinking.
