English Breakfast

Disappointing

Another tea bag from lovely Canadian Postcrossing member. I had a mood for black tea, although hot afternoon says that some light tea would suit the weather better.

Well, this tea is strong. Steeped for recommneded 2 minutes in 300 ml cup. I got a bitter (not astringent) cup full of tobacco. Not a fan!

sipdown of my last two teabags! This is a good teabag version of this type of blend. Not as strong as a builders brew, but not as light as an afternoon tea. Somewhere in between. I prefer this one to the Twinings, which is my mom’s favorite.

One of my favorites from before has once again reminded me of why. I absolutely love this tea by itself (as is the case with any teas), no need to add anything. Wakes me up and gets me through the morning at work. Love it!

This has been my morning work tea lately. I let it steep for about 4 minutes and add 1 packet of sugar and two little cups of half & half. It is not the best English Breakfast but I much prefer it to the Lipton they have available at the coffee stations here.

Its a weaker taste then Earl Gray and not as satisfying

A decent, robust E.B. nothing overly special but good for a wake-up in the morning.

I am yet to have a “perfect” english breakfast, the concept itself calls for a uniform cuppa in my opinion. And that is exactly how I feel about this or any other English Breakfast blend I’ve tried. It’s good to sip on, it’s not worth thinking over. I tend to drink bagged teas at work where I need a nice beverage to help concentrate without needing to enjoy flavor too much. This tea delivers on all fronts. I’ve tried several of the Bigelow tea by this point and they are all rather stable. Good all around tea.

I’ll drink this if nothing else is available. But I would rather have almost any other black tea. This is just not all that great. Still, sometimes when you’re at a convention or a hotel, you take what you can get.

This tea makes a very enjoyable cup. I add honey and half and half. Decaf works great in the evening.
