The most middling of teas. Not terrible, but nothing stands out as exceptional. One of the few teas that I prefer with milk, its really not that great without.
58 Tasting Notes
Be careful when brewing this. I love a strong cuppa, and Tips fits that bill, but it goes from strong to bitter in just moments. As bagged tea goes, its one of my favorites, but how much of that is really quality of tea and how much is nostalgia, I’ve yet to decide (I discovered it on my first trip to England).
I know this tea is tremendously popular, but honestly, I think I’m just not a fan of English Breakfast as a blend.
A little hard to find in the U.S. Midwest; worth the search for a proper morning cuppa.
strong and extremely flavorful!!
I am not sure if I like this better than tetleys – probably need to drink a few more cups to figure this one out.
excelleennt
I love this tea!
Backlogging…average but good.
It’s pretty much the workhorse of black teas: nothing remarkable, but consistent every time. It’s my fall-back tea for when I need a morning kick.
The standard tea for the English cuppa. It’s as-advertised – reliable and fine. Nothing special, maybe, but never awful, either.
This is one black tea I’ll make a bag exception for because it’s just that solid. Guaranteed good cup and caffeine kick.
Rather dire.
Is there any other tea? Well yes but this makes a fine cuppa
Delicious plain strong black tea.

wonderfully strong and invigorating. took me by surprise the first time i had it, but now it’s a great mid-afternoon pick-me-up
My daily tea. Went to England and have been buying it from World Market ever since.
Fabulous tea; hands down one of my favorites but prefer it loose.
