Samurai TTB #3

I was looking for an English Breakfast-type tea to drink with a meal and grabbed this one since it didn’t list any additional flavoring and had “morn” in the name. Unfortunately, this was NOT what I was looking for. The base tea was very mild without that rich maltiness I want in a breakfast blend and was actually somewhat overwhelmed by the cornflowers. I honestly didn’t even realize cornflowers had a flavor, as I feel like they’re usually just added for visual interest. But this tea had a definite floral twist that I wasn’t expecting and didn’t welcome.

Flavors: Floral

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
