A review of Revolution Breakfast Tea(Boston Tea Party Blend)by The Metropolitan Tea Company, LTD
I am trying this very famous blend of black tea once more.
Using one tea bag in my cup, I pour the freshly boiled water into the cup leaving it to steep for five minutes.
I remove the covering from the tea cup and observe the coloring: a darken rosy color, like Port wine. It smells of a fine dry bouquet distilling of malt. Tea is full bodied and taste of malt and not roasted at all. I would not say that the malt is strong or creamy, although this tea is smooth in character and the description use for it is ‘oakiness’. There is something woodsy, and smelling of rain about it.
In all, tea’s character is that of malt and it is full-bodied with hints of floral flavor and a touch of pine.
I also like the canister that this tea comes in: the gold emboss/engraving for The Metropolitan Tea Company and the images depicting the tea party members disguise as Indians tossing over the teas into the Boston Harbor. It was then a history in the making; an historical event which brought about some wonderful teas.
