Slightly embarrassed to realize I’ve been calling this an Irish Breakfast when in fact it is their Scottish Breakfast. Whatever its called, I like it. Needs to cool a bit to get the maximum flavor effect…that is, its a good slurping tea, none of this prissy sipping thing! Strong flavor. Good amount of astringency to leave your mouth refreshed. Malty, as it claims to be. I drink it without sugar and don’t think sugar would go well with it.
I’m not much active on Steepster because I haven’t been trying a lot of different tea lately. I have been buying M.T. Wendell’s Cheericup Ceylon because it is my favorite. That said, gifts of tea drop in every once in awhile and I try to bring my impressions here.
I am unashamedly stealing this rating description from Morgana.
95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is
90-94 Excellent; first rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more
80-89 Very good; will likely buy more
70-79 Good; would enjoy again, might buy again
60-69 Okay; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but likely won’t buy again
Below 60 Meh, so-so, iffy, or ick. The lower the number, the closer to ick.
