While this tea brews up nice and strong to open your eyes in the morning, it doesn’t have enough Assam for my liking. It’s astringent and malty and robust, but I think I like Happy Lucky’s English Breakfast more with its keemun chocolatey notes. I kinda wish I had a bit more of this blend, but not enough to place an order :)
Flavors: Astringent, Malty
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!
