This is a CTC (crush, tear, curl) tea so instead of whole leaves, the tea leaves were ground into nuggets – I was expecting it to be bitter….but lo and behold- no bitterness. in fact, it was “meaty”. and perfect for a AM cup….I need to try this one a few more times but after experimenting with a gazillion breakfast blends, this one is defintiely a keeper….

Just learned a new term: CTC :D This one sounds intriguing indeed! ::adds to list::
Yes it is very good….
Is this similar to a Scottish breakfast tea, then? Those are usually l’il nuggets.
Their Mountain Malt was so good that I may have to try this one.
Our London Cuppa tea is like that. I just brew it for two minutes instead of five and it is pretty good!
I’ve eyeing this tea. Meaty sounds good! I’m really loving breakfast blends nowadays.
Dan- I ordered the Mountain Malt based on your tasting notes! I will need to try both the American Blend and Mountain Malt side by side…On a good note, the Simple Leaf sells generous sample sizes for $5 bucks..
And about Scottish blend, I have not tried that before so I do not know…
