I hate to keep making fun of T Kettle’s copy writing, but they just make it so easy…
“Top of the mornin’! A perfect breakfast tea with body, hints of oakiness, and full of flavour.” This is the short copy on the website – nothing super weird about it, other than the fact it definitely sounds like the intro you would give to an IRISH Breakfast Blend. Last time I checked “Top of the morning” was definitely an Irish phrase, haha.
Anyway, the tea is nice – it’s hard to do an English Breakfast poorly. My favourite English Breakfasts usually have this raisin-y kind of note to them, and this doesn’t have that note for me, but I still think it’s good. Full bodied and brisk with a mix of malt, oak, and slight citrus notes. Good balance of astringency, and definitely rich enough to take milk and sugar well. This would serve something looking for that standard breakfast cuppa well, in my opinion.
