Good Morning

Good Morning! I received this tea in my Lupicia happy bag. Uggg I’m in pain all over, holiday break from jiu jitsu and returning after the break = painful. I hurt all over and feel tired. Feels great to be back, though annoyed I couldn’t finish a choke on a guy as he got saved by the bell!

STEEPED: classic dark amber brown black tea look.

TASTE: English breakfasty tasting, though I find this one (compared to other bags of English breakfast I’ve had) very clean tasting. No bitterness or dryness.

Admittedly, I don’t drink this kind of tea very much and it’s something I don’t buy for myself, so other than it tasting pretty clean and not bitter, not sure how this stacks up against others. Though I think this tea not bad.

Going back to ice packs and heating pads.

This is another tea that came into my posession via the Travelling Teabox. I was a bit dubious when I saw that this was a CTC tea with broken leaves mixed in. I’m glad that the recommended steeping time was so short because this tea definitely has a kick to it and a harshness that could end up being quite nasty if steeped for longer. I didn’t care for it at first, but as I drank it grew on me. It reminds me a bit of an English Breakfast – slightly toasty with a clean, tannic flavour. I think it could be improved with some milk.

This is my favorite morning tea; it’s a strong black tea but not at all bitter – just robust. Add in a little cream and sugar, and I’m ready for a great day! Highly recommended.

It’s a foggy, somewhat muggy September day in San Francisco. The office is quiet; I have no meetings. A cheese bagel and a delightful cup of Good Morning with sweetener and milk is the perfect thing. Or a cheese bagel and two cups…

Good Morning is, as the description states, a good, basic black blend that is a very smooth, pleasant start to just about any day.
