drank English Breakfast by Twinings
49 tasting notes

Although I’ve started to get into loose-leaf teas and quality full-leaf sachets from places that also do loose leaf, I realized that preparing even a sachet takes too much time for the mornings when I work early (which means waking up at 3:30 am). When I’m up that early, I need a quick, strong cup of tea that doesn’t take too long to prepare (I estimate that I steep the bag for two minutes, but I don’t keep very close track with this one). I add some milk and sugar to make a sort of builder’s tea that I can drink quickly. I turned to Twinings, remembering it from my childhood, and haven’t been disappointed. It gets strong quickly, and the taste is robust enough to handle the milk and sugar well and wake me up.

Hi, there! I’m Marcy. I’ve enjoyed tea ever since I was a kid, but only recently (within the past few years) have I really gotten into high quality, loose-leaf tea. Now, all my friends know me as a lover of all kinds of teas, and I’m always happy to share. I try to make tea for people whenever I can.

When I’m not making and drinking tea, I’m usually writing, hiking, building with Lego, or spending time with my wife and kids.

I rarely feel satisfied with giving something a numerical rating, so most of my reviews are listed as simply either “recommended” or “not recommended.” I’m OK with giving ratings to amazing tea and terrible tea, but everything in between just doesn’t seem right, so I usually stay away, and hope that my written reviews will be illuminating enough.

Recently I’ve become a huge fan of Japanese green teas, though a good oolong or pu’er is always welcome.
