English Breakfast

My alltime standard tea. Any time of the day with milk.

This blows Bigelow’s English Breakfast out of the water! Enjoyed my first cup of this in the afternoon after sitting outside waiting for Santa with the kids (cold!). I can taste such a distinct difference between this and Bigelow, my usual English Breakfast brand. I want to say it’s more complex? The quality is obvious here in Twinings.

not bad for a breakfast tea

I don’t know if it’s my tastebuds or something else, but this is rather too light for me. Not bland, per se, but really faint. I’ve added near boiling hot water, or just hot water one would normally get from a coffee machine, but it’s sort of weak. Perhaps I’m not preparing it right.

It’s Twinings, you can buy it everywhere and it doesn’t taste bad at all, but isn’t going to set the world on fire.

Twinings manages to blend quality teas for the huddlin’ masses. For this I tip my hat. English Breakfast is my go to for a very wakeful day.

Wonderful at night before bed too!

This is a good breakfast tea. I do believe that there are better quality teas, but in a pinch, this will do. It is better with a little bit of black chai mixed in.

English Breakfast with an English breakfast with American friends. This must be loaded with Keemun. I could taste the tell-tale smoke and spice. Not bad for a bag.

The building block of a standard cup of black tea. Not earth-shattering, but far above the average bagged black tea. It’s worth waking up to, very economic and easy to use.

Good standard tea to kick off the day at work!

This was okay. I liked their Irish Breakfast Tea better, but since this goes well with milk (which is how I like to take my tea) I enjoyed it.

This tea is pretty basic, kind of bitter, pretty strong, but a good classic tea.

Good staple as well.

no hay nada como una buena taza de english breakfast en la mañana para despertar

More than twice a day :)

This is my usual morning tea. I drink a big mug with one Splenda and a splash of milk, steeped about five minutes.

1/4 cup fresh milk + 3/4 cup water

This is my stock standard wake me up tea. “Just the stuff to feed the troops”, as my dad would say. :)

very nice, specially with a nice slice of toast with melted butter. you know? when its crispy on the outside but soft in the centre.. with melted butter spreaded.
