This is currently my morning breakfast tea. M&S rates it a 3 (strong) in strength which seems accurate to me, but I never add milk or sugar. Great flavor!

Pretty decent, not strong enough for my taste though.

I don’t usually get my teas from Marks and Spencer’s but I do love their Sultana cookies. This tea goes great with the cookies and most other pastries as it has a distinct flavor but is not overwhelming and somehow compliments sweet foods. If enjoying with sweet foods, I’ll recommend less sugar (none if food is really sweet on its own) and just a dash of milk.

Had this with breakfast actually so a little late in logging it. Nice!

Love starting my day with this tea. I usually leave my teabag in longer than necessary so I get a fuller flavor. Gets me going everytime!
