A full-bodied, robust and rich black tea blended to go well with milk and sugar, in a style traditionally associated with a hearty full English breakfast.
Company description not available.
I’ve decided to do a back-to-back tasting this morning this one verses Uva from Basilur. This is very opaque for an English Breakfast. However, I do think the steep time helped with that a bit. This is a soft brew with a nice amount of astringency. Cedar notes along with some sweet wood dance around each other. A good one for maca nut milk or oat milk. Or even a thicker regular milk.
A sipdown! (M: 9, Y: 9)
Sipdown prompt January 12 – National Hot Tea Day – Have a tea that is close to a sipdown!
Whoops, actual office sipdown.
Well, it is a fine example of English breakfast tea; a good one for waking up in the office, with high caffeine level (I assume) and no frills tea; as it’s in tea bags.
Simple, malty cupppa; but no standout characterics as gmathis notices in her note.
I acutally “blended” it often with Basilur Cranberry (fruit tea), to make a little fruit line and the fruit one is sometimes really tart, almost unbearably. Together it have been a nice combo. It wasn’t the story of the last bag of this, though.
I like my morning tea with work boots on; this is more like a pair of walking shoes—-another review mentioned that it leans toward Ceylon and not Assam; I agree. Tolerates a long and sloppy steep, however; that’s always a plus.
Actually, forget the work boots. So much rain in Missouri, we need hip waders.

Experience: Well, let’s start with a new Basilur pack, more on the classic side this time. This EB has a very intense aroma, which i could describe as a mix between Assam and Ceylan, with dominance of the latter. On the flavor part, however, this mix is more balanced, going from malty notes to fresh and crisp ones. Not very intense, but very rich and deep on taste, one of its most notable traits is that the characteristic bitter note of the Breakfast blends is very nuanced, almost absent from its flavor. Very interesting, and really good tea.
Would i buy it?: I think this would be a ‘yes’, sometime in the future.
Thanks for reminding me … I think I have a few bags of this left that need attention!
