Another of the teabags my husband picked up in UK recently…if it’s this particular one alright! It says “golden and well rounded” on the pouch of the teabags, and it doesn’t seem to fit the “classic” EB.
On average, I like EB in the morning, as the assam blends used normally are bold and strong (but still complex and enjoyable), ideal to start the (working) day…but here, only the dry teabag smells anything like “well rounded” and there’s nothing “golden” about it, if you ask me. As a matter of fact, it turns (too) bitter even when the recommended steeping time of 2-3 minutes has been respected. The only posible reason/cure for this I can think of, is it’s use with milk…which doesn’t apply for me, as I never take milk with my tea. A shame, as I remember the classic EB from Twinings (and loose leaf) to be quite okay.
Flavors: Bitter, Tannic, Tea
