From Simpson & Vail

One of Mr. Vail’s 15 original tea blends.

English Breakfast teas are offered by many companies, but they’re all vastly different blends. Our English Breakfast tea is a blend of teas from Taiwan, Sri Lanka, India and China, and was formulated to accompany a hearty breakfast.

These medium sized leaves produce a copper liquor that has a bright and fragrant cup. The tea is smooth and full-bodied with a malty aftertaste that stands up to a splash of milk or lemon.

Ingredients: Black and oolong teas.

This was a cheap option from S&V, so I figured… why not try? $1.90 for an ounce! The flavor isn’t great, isn’t bad. It initially tastes like a bit of gasoline to me. Maybe oats/cereal… a little like cardboard. Then I read the description and forgot this was black tea but also oolong, and that makes sense for these flavors… if it’s like a formosa oolong. I forgot all about those, as they aren’t my favorite, so I don’t really drink them anymore. The second steep was a bit more charcoal, a little harsher, metallic. I don’t regret TRYING it. Now at least I know it’s just an okay tea. A sad update about S&V: I reached out to S&V and they don’t offer rewards points for reviews anymore…. only rewards points for purchases. boo.

Gasoline… o.o

Gasoline makes it sound horrible, I suppose. But it could have been worse…

I used to leave reviews and had accrued a ton of reward points, but I’ve never used them because their prices are so cheap already, I’d feel bad getting an even better deal :P

tea-sipper

yeah, I’ve tried not to use all my rewards points on each order for that reason!
