This is oldie. I really don´t know – but I remember we made a group buy because of tea bags. And I remember that I fell in love with Lupicia, but the price :O It was still in foil wrapping so it should be good.
I was looking for it on French website, but in vain. Weird. We ordered it there. So Japan website. Found it; but just in Japanese. I can´t read this “loose leaf”. Google translate!
Ahh, I see – apparently discontinued tea, blend of Indian and Ceylon teas. Sounds great. The tea itself in sachet was quite puny with few golden pieces. I did not added any milk though it would be probably even better.
What a colour after 3 minutes steep! Wonderful copper and completely clear. Shiny!
It is not aromatic, I wonder it is because of age or my flu. Sorry if you are looking for this characteristic.
Taste – full bodied, malty tea. But also some sweetness. Rich taste, like English breakfast blends. But this has got some mint aftertaste? I mean like something fresh after the sip. It is really great. As I said, probably like English breakfast. It really reminds me that.
I wonder how it pairs with milk. But I guess I won´t find out :/
I don´t want to be sick :(

stop being sick Martin!
Oh no! Tell that flu to go away.
:( Feel better soon.
I love Lupicia! Since this tea is discontinued, if you are looking for a different Lupicia English Breakfast black to replace it, I really liked La Belle Epoque. It may not be quite as strong but it was quite a nice blend, I recall a touch of darjeeling and Keemun in the blend.
Thanks everybody, I feel bit better today (and not because a paracetamol in my body). I guess I will make free Monday (I have just not mandatory lectures) and it will be okay.
Mastress – oh, thank you for suggestion, I will check it out for sure :) But right now I have to save my money a bit, so I think I will stick to my subscription of Bird and Blend. And some teas I will buy around.
