I had to go into lab early this morning. So I just grabbed one of these teabags from my roommates’s stash and put it in my thermos to go. Unfortunately I just took naps during the downtime instead of drinking my tea and being productive. When I got home, the tea was super strongly brewed — so I had to water it down a lot. Still good and at least I’m awake now.

A nice dark black tea with milk to wake me up this afternoon.

Was brought up on this tea. The cornerstone of my understanding of a good British cuppa.

My husband loves this tea. It’s an eye opener for him and he stopped drinking coffee and replaced it with this tea. He love to make ice tea with it!

This is my favourite tea which I drink sparingly as I don’t have easy access to it. Exactly as it is advertised: rich, bright and malty. I also purchase the loose leaf version. For someone who likes their tea with milk, I find this tea to really satisfy.

Mmmmmm. Love this. It’s one of those teas that make me go omnomnomnom.

I’m not sure what it is about this tea, but I can see why they sell so much of it in a single box. It has become a part of my morning ritual, and I have a cup the minute I wake up.

My wife and I were introduced to this tea in the UK in the 1990s and have purchased thousands of bags each time we go over. With the UK relatives visiting the USA we have not been able to find a reasonably priced source here. This is a smooth full body tea that goes well by itself or with milk. We highly recommend it and would appreciate finding a USA source.

A solid brew with a good malty taste…not as good as M&S Gold but still a decent tea to get the morning off to a good start.

This is a grower .. at first wasn’t blown away but after drinking it for a week or so I’ve found it to be a right satisfying cuppa.
