Adequate – it was robust enough and flavorful, but not special or outstanding.

A bit thin, I had to overbrew it to even really taste the leaves. Nothing offputting, but nothing really to the taste either. A bit disappointing.

This one puzzles me a bit. I think I can sense some good flavor, but it seems quite thin. I can still taste the water through the tea, which is unusual for an earl grey. I tried steeping longer, and that added more body, but not really more flavor.

I liked this a bit better this time than last time. Still just a standard English breakfast. Maybe I brewed it a bit more because I remember it being a bit thin, and it’s fairly robust this time. Perhaps forgetting about it was a good thing this morning!

Taylor’s make my favourite bagged teas I can get over here in the UK. I might be biased though, because my cousin works for them. (:

A basic english breakfast. It’s serviceable but a bit thin and nothing special.

Enjoyable, pretty standard, but overall a pleasing cup of tea.

Most Enjoys:
A strong black tea, preferably from Sri Lanka or India. I tend to steep it a little over to get just a touch of bitterness, which I enjoy.

My Ratings:
100-90: One of my favorites, a tea that stopped me from doing whatever I was doing, to just enjoy its flavor.
89-80: I would buy again, I enjoy, but one that I can have while rushing around or reading or internet browsing – my standard breakfast teas probably fall in this range. I very much enjoy them.
79-70: An good tea. It’s pleasing in some way and I may buy it again but I wouldn’t go out of my way to make sure I have it in stock.
69-60: A tea I enjoyed, but nothing really stood out to me.
59-50: Better than average, but nothing that delighted or pleased me. It was fine.
49-1: Varying degrees of I didn’t enjoy this tea. The lower the rating goes, the more there was at least one element that I actively did not like.
