OH that’s good! I’m having this with some milk and sugar and it’s comfort with an EDGE! The Assam tastes smooth and familiar and lovely, then on the end of the sip you get this little smoky delight! Again – perfect. Not too much for me, and not too little. I adore it. In my opinion, it completely deserves it’s name! I made myself the big 16 oz mug I have at home, and it’s almost gone! Very undignified amount of gulping going on here.
Thanks once again ashmanra – you have totally expanded my tea world!

So glad you like it! The Harney English Breakfast is this one without the edge, which is coming from the Indian tea in it. Queen Catherine is similar to English Breakfast but with a little enhanced smokiness and a full body, though it is all Chinese tea. The three teas are hard to choose between for me. Mood dictates which one I drink for breakfast! And Catherine goes without sugar for afternoon, the other two not so for me.
I can see a place for both in my cupboard according to mood too! I would find it hard to have Supreme Breakfast without milk and sugar because of the Assam – I love Assam teas with additions! But Catherine is wonderful in all her austere glory!!!!
I hope, hope, hope your package arrives today!!!!
Oh! and I started my first Miss Read book yesterday! I’m completely charmed! Conkers and gingernuts and lucky holes and pink chalk and Christmas pageants! A balm for this heart, mind, and soul that gets bruised in the too modern world!
