305 Tasting Notes
This is not as strong as Teavana English Breakfast and I like this better! It is the perfect blend of bitter and smooth with more on the smooth end. Nice smell in the mug and took a splash of milk perfectly. You can’t beat the price for this tea.
Preparation
I am back to my EBT this morning. This is a familiar taste. I have been experimenting quit a bit lately with different teas, it feels good to start the day out with a solid tea. From the last time I drank this tea, I have tried a Yunnan…it was not what I had hoped for…although it was a good cuppa while drinking the Yunnan, the headache that came afterwards was horrible. So I have retired the Yunnan to the storage shelf. I wonder, will I ever find the perfect breakfast tea? Or is this a life long search for that perfect morning cuppa?
The search may never be over. I can’t ever stick to one tea in the morning like I think I can.
This made me think about the tea from Adagio that I really want to try. I think it’s just called “Cream” (black tea). Sounds like a yummy way to start the day!
@Rabbysmom, yeah it’s just called “cream”. All of Adagio’s black based flavored teas, which they simply call “flavored”, are just called by the flavor that they are. I’m not a black tea fan, but their Cream is a very good cream flavored black tea. If you haven’t ordered from them before, send me an email (regular, not a steepster PM), and I’ll email you a $5 coupon code off your 1st order:)
12/25/09 I have been very anxious to try this blend and it was in my stocking! Thanks to my youngest daughter:) Very tasty. The sage does not overpower the black tea at all and you can really taste the blackberries. Nice.
12/31/09 drank this again today. Not liking it too much. Lowered my rating.
Preparation
12/25/09 Got this for Christmas from my oldest daughter. This is a light, refreshing black tea. It reminds me of a white tea. You can taste the peach and apricot over the ginger. The black tea takes a back seat to the other flavor profiles.
Preparation
12/14/09 My Teavana order arrived tonight. I have been busy putting the Rock Sugar away and the teas into tins. This English Breakfast Tea is what I have been searching for…smooth taste, not bitter. Takes well to sugar and milk. Reminds me of coffee. Thanks to all the reviews here at Steepster, I think I have finially found my daily tea. I have been able to get 3 infusions, making this tea very affordable for everyday drinking.
12/18/09 I really like this tea. Three infusions. It reminds me of coffee when you add milk. Just a few crystals of rock sugar and you are good to go. This is my morning tea.
12/21/09 Got four infusions from this tonight. This is fast becoming my everyday favorite. Just plain and simple and the price point is affordable and with getting multiple infusions too, I am more than happy with this tea! I do add a few rock sugar crystals and a splash of milk…tastes heavenly in my cup.
12/29/09 I did not drink all the tea in my cup today…This is a first..Maybe I am over this tea?! 12/30/09 too much rock sugar..ugh:( poured out, reinfused the leaves w/an added pinch. Better, drinkable. 1/1/10 just ok1/3/10 brewed plain no sugar I like it better! Waiting for my Yunnan to come….
Wonder if this is like an herbal Constant Comment?
Yea, I think so too.
I have drank Constant Comment and remembered it not being “spicey” enough for me…it tasted weak. This on the other hand has a little zip that CC does not have and the best part, it is caffeine free, perfect for bedtime.
