This tea is basic, but good. It’s a light brew, with little astringency, easy to drink. Not much complexity here, sort of a one-note pleasant floral aspect. Doesn’t really go well with milk or sugar which will drown it out, despite this varietal forming part of many brands’ English Breakfast teas. Very much a hong cha to drink unadulterated, maybe English size teapots are also a mistake. Not a whole lot of punch to the flavor but it’s a nice sip for a morning where you don’t have time to focus on a complex brew and just want a cup of black tea.
