Another Lovely selection from Miss Sweet and I must say I AM LOVING THIS!!!! I think this is the first New Zealand Breakfast I have ever had.

The color is EXTREMELY Dark. The taste is bold and malty. I like the word Miss Sweet used in her review…MALTYLICIOUS! :)

I can also taste the pine-like comparison and am surprised yet delighted with the outcome of the flavor.

This is the perfect morning cup! And New Zealand should be proud of this little gem!

This is the last Cup I have in my stash…so sad to see it go!!!! Even tho my water temp was much cooler than I usually do this one at it’s still wonderful! Just not as much pine flavor. Still FAB tho!

I am certainly going to miss this when I run out…only have enough for one more cup. :( Good news, tho, I got 3 packages of new teas from friends and 1 company for samples today so I will start sampling ASAP!

This is my current breakfast tea favourite! The Assam tea base is delightfully smooth and I can quite easily (and surprisngly) drink this without milk. The addition of manuka leaf makes this blend even more maltylicious than Malty Breakfast Blend – shocking I know. I can’t decide if it is best paired with Eggs Benedict for brunch, or with a large helping of cinnamon cookies fresh out of the oven…

Ah, its so good trying a bunch of teas at the same time, I think you get more of a feel for each tea than when you taste them individually. This has similar strength to the Irish Breakfast, but what I previously remarked as “maltylicious” is actually more herbacious (due to the manuka) than malt. Still a lovely tea though, both with or without milk. Plus it looks pretty while you brew it, as al the manuka leaves float to the top.
