I found a sample pack of this tea in my stash, and it is with newer teas. I can’t remember if it was included with an order or if I actually purchased a sample for some reason. We are trying very hard to sip down a bunch of samples and get some of the stash under control because I have every intention of ordering a whole lot of tea as soon as the pre-Ching Ming Harvest starts coming in!
We have had it twice now because this tea resteeps pretty well. It is tea, TEA. As in, this tastes exactly like black tea. That’s not a bad thing. My daughter loves it and I am enjoying it with breakfast. I have said it before, but I am 99.9% sure that is exactly the same tin as Royal English Breakfast in the Historic Royal Palaces collection, whihc only comes in sachets but in that oh my goodness gorgeous tin that they have for that whole line. I am thankful that when I started on my tea journey I found out about those at Barnes and Noble. Good tea is available at more and more places in my town as demand is going up, it seems.
This is an every day drinker for when you don’t really have time to think about your tea. It was served at tea time with soup (ham, peas, carrots, and barley) and cornbread muffins yesterday and again at brekkie today. It went well with both.
