English Breakfast Leaf Tea

Black Tea by Taylors of Harrogate

To create our special version of this classic blend we use a blend of Golden Broken Orange Pekoe teas produced in the traditional ‘orthodox’ way where the leaves are rolled to release the flavour. The taste is full-bodied, rich and refreshing, with a bright inviting colour.

A flavorful version of English Breakfast with a hint of spiciness. Round and full mouth feel, especially with a few drops of milk. Great to wake up with.

Round and mellow if you let the boiling water cool slightly before steeping.

This tea does contain some very find particles, and if you don’t take care to shake them out of your strainer before steeping, they will settle in your cup and make your tea quite bitter. Taking care to remove the dust will produce a round, full cup without bitterness.

Prepared with my usual method, but turned out ridiculously bitter this morning. I poured it down the sink (which I almost never do). Not sure what happened here. Leaving my rating the same since it usually is pretty good.

Turned out a little bitter this morning. Perhaps a bit more dust than usual escaped through the strainer and has been sitting in the cup?

i bought this english breakfast in the small supermarket spending ages to choose one perfect for milk tea, actually there was not so various choices, in monoprix, paris,
i heard that the yorkshire tea of Taylors of Harrogate is quite strong and nice, so thought it’ll be not that disappointing, and then, i tried with homemade pancake with golden syrup,
poured milk a bit, and brown sugar. The tea was not that strong to maintain its flavor with milk, i don’t know what most british feels about this one, but i think it’s much better to taste in straight way if you prepare strong, full, black tea flavor
anyway, it doesn’t work for me as a morning awakener.

Meh. This tea is okay, but there’s really nothing that grabs me about it. Kind of a flat taste with a bit of astringency that desperately craves milk. It’ll do for now, but I probably won’t pick it up again. Sad! :(

Perfect after dinner on a Saturday evening.

I enjoy the process of making tea as much as I enjoy the beverage.
