Irish Blend from Kusmi Tea

Steepster Score 2 Ratings Rate This Tea

68/100

Irish Blend

Black Tea by Kusmi Tea

A blend of Assam and Darjeeling teas; delicious plain, sweetened, with a dash or milk or a slice of lemon, this tea is also delicious for brunch

Was ok, but nothing special. The tin is nicer than the tea, in fact

I had this on the train home from my parents’. I had a 1st class ticket which means access to free coffee and tea. I’ve had a sampler of Kusmi teabags before and found the brand largely overrated. I haven’t changed my mind. It’s better than your average cheap teabags, but it doesn’t really live up to what people have said of it. Even this one, that is merely a blend of Darjeeling and Assam has a synthetic sort of hint to it. Could be from being stored right next to some bags with a jasmine tea in it, but with each bag sealed in an air tight foil satchel I kind of doubt it.
I don’t know whether to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. I don’t hate it, but I wouldn’t buy it for myself.
