Emperor's Breakfast

Black Tea by Rare Tea Company

Emperor’s Breakfast tea is a black Chine tea originating in the Ming Dynasty.

Delicately twisted whole leaves and golden buds create a beautifully subtle breakfast tea . Careful crafting rather than mass production allows the leaves to retain a unique depth of flavour and complexity. Wonderfully comforting malty notes and delicious caramel flavours are revealed.

Emperor’s Breakfast is the antithesis of modern, industrially produced blends . This single estate tea is carefully grown, harvested and prepared to be the perfect breakfast tea without the need for ANY blending. The tea contains both softness and strength without the need for the commercial blender’s contrivance.

I made tea from half a sampler again. Hope its enough to tell ;)
This one is one of those gentle breakfast blacks.

Leaves are nice black and yellow and totally twirled. Folks i think i found an amazing Tea company – and it was totally by chance…

Color is quite light for black tea. Smells very interesting. Kinda smells like it has milk in it :D Creamy smell.

Mmmm this is yummy! Another one i regret ordering just a sample ;) Best black I’ve ever had. Yumm. No bitterness at all. But you can still tell its black. Reminds me a bit of english breakfast. Its kinda sweetish creamy and earthy. Plus that awesome basic taste. Siiiigh… so good…

looooooove this one. so tasty. sadly ending the sampler :(
