Not as good as English Teatime, IMO, but nonetheless a decent black tea. Mildly bitter, but pleasant enough to enjoy.

Dry, Burnt, and Harsh.

It leaves a terrible burnt aftertaste, originated by a dark dark dry sip of it.

Definitely not my favourite. In fact, I dread this one.

I remember buying this box and looking forward in trying something new and was really disappointed because it was very harsh for me. It could be the steeping time and temperature. It took a year for me to finish the box. Maybe I will try again with a different brand or a loose altenative.
1/16/2012- Okay, so I bought a second box since it was on sale. I carefully steeped this tea for 2 minutes or it becomes bitter quickly. I raised the rating since I like the favor the second time around. I’m not sure if this will be in my regular rotation of my tea, but I will give it a chance to grow on me.

This is the only tea from Bigelow brand that I like (of the 6 or 7 that I have tried) but I would put most other brands of basic black tea ahead of even this.

Had this today but I got distracted unpacking the car so I oversteeped it. It was a little bitter, but not too bad. I really enjoy darjeeling tea, but I have never tried a high quality kind. This is a good quick tea though.

A bit harsh but not bad for a black tea in the morning.
