Bright-eyed. Revived. Deeply full of flavor. This is English Breakfast.

Robust and oh so deliciously rich. It’s a bold take on a classic breakfast blend.

I bought this tea on my trip to Germany and then brought it to the office and drinking it since. So, during 3 months I finished it — that means it’s a sipdown. I also have Darjeeling which I will finish this week as well (I suppose).

German website says it contains tea from Rwanda and Assam.

The flavour profile, prepared usually with boiling water and steeped for approx. 3 minutes, sometimes more as mornings at work means reading emails which came overnight, was still the same.

Bold, black tea, with bread flavours, sometimes with some stronger astringency and bitterness. Luckily, I have oversteeped it just once — and it turned out very bitter. There are also some notes of stonefruits as Cameron noticed and I am very happy to share similar thoughts.

Well, in the conclusion, as it is a tea bag (!) it is not bad. Actually I liked it for such simple, but not bitter flavour, and it delivered easy daily drinking tea. Nothing amazing, but for morning at the office, to wake up, I don’t need classy tea.

Sipdown! (28 | 244)

Another single serving swap sample!

English Breakfast isn’t really my thing, but this seems decent for a teabag. I think I’m mostly tasting Ceylon? It does have that metallic taste to it, but there’s also a little bit of stonefruit tartness popping its head out. I taste a little bit of bread and perhaps oats, not sure if that’s from Assam or something else. The company doesn’t disclose what types of black tea are in here, but I would guess mostly Ceylon with a bit of Assam.

Anyway, it’s pleasant but just not my type of tea. Enjoying the rest of the cuppa with oat milk as sometimes breakfasty teas can upset my empty stomach in the morning…

I actually have box of this in work (I bought it in Germany) and I think it is decent morning cup. I prefer their Darjeeling though as it is a bit lighter.

Also German website says they use tea from Rwanda and Assam :)
