English Teatime

I just got this last evening and I have to say that although it’s not as good as Tetley, it’s still rather nice. A smooth and strong blend, perfect for morning. The Assam is very apparent in this tea. I recommend it if you’ve no Tetley around.

A good, well-rounded cup, I am looking forward to trying more Bigelow teas…

You can always count on this tea to be dependable for a traditional brew…Although sometimes I wish it had some originality.

A pretty okay standard black tea. Nothing fancy!

Decent with milk and sugar – I enjoyed it just about as much as Lipton. Nothing special, nothing I’d go out of my way to buy, but I’ll drink the other teabag I have.

The plain black tea was a little too bitter for me. I added in vanilla creamer and it was much smoother and enjoyable. A little honey would probably have tasted good too.

To paraphrase someone else’s review about this: Nothing special, but functional. I can’t imagine choosing this over another name-brand of English Breakfast, but it’s good in a pinch in a hotel room or waiting room where it is all they have. I usually bring any bags I pick up at a hotel home with me, just in case I there’s ever an… um… tea-mergency. ;)

Not bad. Just not great.

It was really good. A bit of a stronger tea than I’m use to, but I added some milk to make it more drinkable for me. I will continue drinking this tea that’s for sure!

I am surprised by this. liberTEAS said it best- it’s very ‘malty’, bold… and it just gives you a wonderfully smooth taste. I wouldn’t drink this without a bit of sugar personally, and I’m not one to normally add sugar.

I put a packet of this tea in my backpack this morning on the way out. While grabbing lunch I remembered I had it and asked the waiter to bring me a cup of hot water instead of my usual fresh lemonade. He looked at me like I was an idiot but understood later when I popped the teabag into the mug. It was nice. I’m not sure how long I let it steep since I left the bag floating around in the mug but that still didn’t give it enough flavor. I tried it before adding sugar and it had a surprisingly sweet taste. I think it’s a fine tea, it has an earthy quality I enjoyed. I might have to warm up to this flavor, though. I’ll give it a try later on this week and let you know how I like it.

have this most mornings when i wake, nice & tasteful.

This was a little disappointing. It didn’t taste like much to me. It was nice and warm but it made the back of my throat dry. It was also a little bitter so I sweetened it with a little sweet red grape juice. Just a couple of drops out of my biggest grape.

I don’t think I’ll drink this again because it just didn’t taste like much.

Backlog.
Another bagged tea that I only drank because it was the only thing available…
I really need to start carrying loose leaf tea in my pocket…

In comparison to some regular lipton black tea (as I’m quite the tea novice.) this is only a some what considerable step up but not an amazing improvement. There seems to be a bit more body and not as bland of a taste. Either way, I think I’ll be enjoying this for the time being with some surgar and milk .

added honey to it this morning. not such a good combo.

Now this one is truly a plain black tea, its definetly not bad, mine was some what watery, and because of its lack of any unique flavor its not great either, probably wont get it again, but others may like it more than I

This is definitely my favorite non-flavored tea that I’ve tried recently! Kind of dull “black,” but perfectly sweetened with a bit of sugar!
