Organic Breakfast

Black Tea by Harney & Sons

A traditional blend of hand-picked black teas from India. The Assam is mellowed a bit with a smooth south Indian Tea.

A surprisingly light, but quite good blend. Softer than many English breakfast teas, and just right without milk or sugar.

Strong, simple and smooth. Everything you need on a cold and sunny winter morning.

It’s a random sample morning with Harney & Sons’ Organic Breakfast next in line. I’ll leave out the suspense and cut right to the chase; this is really quite dreadful. Bitter! It’s extremely bitter. This tea is devoid of meaningful flavor. It’s somewhat astringent. It has an unpleasant maltiness that just clogs up the throat. I’m having a very tough time drinking this one. It’s harsh on steroids. But at least the harshness is organic, right? Ehh ok. Life is short, time to brew up something else.

No, sir, I didn’t like it! We like breakfast teas, so it made sense to try this. It was not good, no matter what we did.

Strongly agree with the Lainie Petersen’s tasting note below. Not that strong like the other breakfast (e.g. Harrods) but very delicate taste and aroma. So surprising. I don’t recommend to add any sugar or milk.
