Notting Hill is a classic English Breakfast black tea blend of espresso-colored leaves and silver, gold and caramel buds from Assam and Yunnan. The leaves and the deep copper-garnet brew have bold scents of malt, tannins and wood.
Expect the malty astringency you find in any great English Breakfast, but also note the complexity our Notting Hill has to offer as nuances of woodsy sweetness and rolling tobacco enhance the brew’s sophistication.
The full, malty aftertaste cements Notting Hill’s reputation as an imminently drinkable English Breakfast worthy of countless food pairings and able to stand on its own or handle milk and sugar.

This is yum.
I think I bought this sample because I liked the name (both because of the London neighborhood and because of the movie), but I’m glad I did. It’s a bold, hearty breakfast tea without being heavy. In the packet, I can smell both a bit of sharpness from the Assam and maltiness from the Yunnan. The steeped tea has a sweet, malty aroma and is a clear, mahogany color.
It has been a while since I had the Earl Grey Shanghai, but this reminds me somewhat of the base of that tea (must be the Yunnan) without the bergamot. I definitely get the “woodsy sweetness” of the description, as there’s something very arboreal about the flavor. I’m conscious I’m drinking something made from leaves when drinking this, and it’s a pleasant reminder. I can also get a hint of sweet tobacco.
Definitely many notes in this one, all of which work together nicely. It’s going on the shopping list.
And happy Easter to those who are celebrating.

Ahhh, that movie brings back old memories…way TOO old, lol!!
Hah! I didn’t even remember when it came out, I had to go look it up. 1999. Doesn’t seem that long ago. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see it until years after it came out, so maybe that’s why.
I loved that movie! Glad the tea did not disappoint.
