I usually have fruit for breakfast but this morning I have gone all out and made a good veggie style English breakfast. Two veggie sausages, baked beans, fried chestnut mushrooms, two fried eggs and some toast to mop up the food explosion that is on my plate. Not healthy but it will keep me going until dinner time and with something substantial in my stomach I am free to taste teas for the rest of the day without getting tea belly.
This sample of Golden Bi Luo Chun has been sat with me for just over a year and I don’t know why I was worried about sampling it before, or perhaps I forgot about it. Anyone’s guess is as good as my own. Either way an English breakfast is never complete without a cup of black tea.
The tea balls were nice and reflective and golden but they were also very small, I’ve had larger versions of this before elsewhere. I brewed this while I was cooking so I had a mixture of smells (my bad) but I could pick up silky malt tones.
I love my personaliTEA teapot from Adagio, it’s perfect size for 2 mugs of tea and comes in handy when I have days off.
Once steeped a dark brown liquid is produced that bares a sweet malt and chocolate scent that is light and silky. Very nice.
Flavour is mild but matches the scent very much ie soft, sweet, silky, malt, chocolate tones. Also a little smoky though it’s very subtle and hints of wood. After a few sips I can also taste a mature raisin or plum fruit.
This tea is wonderful and I’m sorry for keeping it on my shelf for so long. It makes the perfect start to my day.
Flavors: Chocolate, Malt, Plum, Raisins, Wood
English breakfast, yum!
sounds good to me!
That sounds like an awesome breakfast! I can’t even imagine that there is anything unhealthy about it!
Yes! Awesome breakfast!
