This was another birthday gift. My mother and stepfather gave me this one so that I wouldn’t “forget my roots”. But my mom’s family drinks Red Rose, so I know my stepfather must have picked this one out…
Robust and pungent, they’ve got that right!
I’m quite biased because I grew up drinking teas very similar to this. I prepared this without milk or sugar, but I think that in the future I will drink this tea the way I used to drink black tea when I was a kid: 4 oz. of water, 2 teabags, 5 minute steep, 5 tablespoons of sugar, 4 oz. of milk. Prepared that way, it kind of reminds me of a lukewarm Thai iced tea.

Wow, 5 tablespoons of sugar??? I have a serious sweet-tooth, but I bow to your sugar tolerance!
Haha. If you brew a tea like this so strong, you will need that much sugar!
2 teabags and a 5 minute steep??? Wow! They would have to scrape me off the ceiling. Wow, just wow! :)
Yum
