Commonwealth Tradition

Black Tea by Island Rose

Discover our Island Rose Commonwealth Tradition tea, an uplift to make a perfect morning or to enjoy and to reflect for an afternoon tea time. For its Commonwealth Tradition tea Island Rose uses Keenum, a tea from china, as the base for this traditionally considered breakfast tea blend. Keenum was used for the first made English Breakfast and the mild flavor does well with our Assam, an Indian malty flavor, fine black Ceylon and Kenya Black.

Commonwealth Tradition, sunrise on your tongue.

This is a decent blend, but nothing special. It’s fairly mild and smooth, and doesn’t get bitter even when over-steeped, but really just a run-of-the-mill black tea.

Brewed this for over 5 minutes and the tea was still fairly light in colour and pretty flavourless. Definitely not much to write about. I only have a couple of bags left of this and I won’t be sad when it’s been used up!
