This came in the breakfast sampler I purchased on sale after Christmas. I love this type of sampler and have been really enjoying tasting through the set. This one is super nice. A bold, malty black base. Cocoa, vanilla, and a tiny bit of cinnamon. I made it sweetened with a bit of honey, and added a splash of oat milk.

Got it as a free sampler from T2 when I picked up some other tea.

Pretty good spin on a black breakfast tea. I find plain black breakfast teas to be too bitter usually, but this one is quite nice without being too sweet. Its not listed and maybe my pallate isnt as developed but I get a strong chocolate note.

Inkling Advent Day 19. I taste a big hit of vanilla plus a pretty decent black tea. It’s not special, but not bad! I guess I wish there were one more flavor note present. I see from my note when I had this five years ago that I thought it tasted like pancakes, and I wish I tasted that this time!

It’s a solid breakfast tea without being bitter. I don’t get the pancake inspiration, but I swear this does remind me of raisin bread. I distinctly get raisins and cinnamon and bread or pastry. My husband and daughter think I’m nuts, though, about the raisins, so maybe it’s just me…but it was definitely there! I don’t love this as much as some of the other T2 teas I’ve tried, but I do think it’s good and I will enjoy all of it.

Upgrading my rating a bit, and I will repeat here my update on Melbourne Breakfast, since I’m making these both the same newer way (tl/dr: More is Better!):

I’m finding I prefer much higher amounts of leaf than I had been using, so like a level(ish) tablespoon (a bit under 4 grams) for two infusions in my 300 ml cup, sweet and a splash of milk is delicious … Also pertinent: instead of using an infuser in my cup, I used a small teapot. The infuser is pretty big, but free floating then strained is better.

This has been promoted to “Will definitely buy again.” :)

So I recently purchased the World of Breakfasts sampler from T2, partially because I’ve heard good things about a few of the teas and was curious, but honestly mostly because I wanted the cute tins. I really like T2’s smaller tins because they’re a great size for 25-50g of tea and I like the square shape. And these all have cute patterns on them that relate to the tea inside. :3

Anyway, I digress. So now I’m going through these six teas to try them out and see which ones I’m going to prioritize sipping down and which I enjoy enough to keep around for a while.

This particular tea raises some questions…
1. WTF do pancakes have to do with NYC? I’m wondering if really they meant “American Breakfast” to be honest…
2. Why is there cinnamon? That’s not even a common thing with pancakes.

Regardless, here we are. I’ll be honest, I don’t like this one. It doesn’t taste anything like pancakes to me, it tastes like a somewhat musty yet tannic black tea with a very artificial maple flavoring and some cinnamon. The whole thing is a bit muddled.

Maybe I’ll try it as a latte next time, but so for it’s looking like the sipdown pile for this one.

Melbourne Breakfast is really good if it’s in the set

Dustin

Were they going for pancake flavors? Is cinnamon not a normal thing to put in pancakes? I have always put a little cinnamon and nutmeg in my batter.

Cameron B.

@Gabby – it is in the set! Looking forward to trying it.

@Dustin – Yes, the description says it’s pancake-inspired. I feel like the default pancake is just a plain ol’ buttermilk variety, but maybe cinnamon is more common than I realize?

I second all the things here! The name American breakfast makes more sense with the flavor profile, but since the rest of the breakfast series has city names, I guess I get it. As a New Yorker it still bothers me haha. I also didn’t know that cinnamon was a thing with pancakes… I thought t2 just wanted to marry the black tea and maple flavoring with something else

Ha, I put cinnamon in my pancake batter in the rare ocassions I do make it

This is one of the better pancake-inspired blends I’ve tried. The black tea base isn’t really anything remarkable, but it blends well with the flavors of vanilla and cinnamon. I enjoyed it hot and straight, but I preferred it with a splash of milk. It’s not a tea I’d repurchase, but I might hold onto the rest of the 100g. It’d probably make a nice latte.

I used a recipe from T2’s website, and made this one up as a salted caramel latte. The tea itself is described in terms of pancakes, so it seemed a bit of a stretch from that to salted caramel. It worked, though, so that was a surprise! Apparently, adding 1 tsp of honey and a pinch of salt can have a fairly drastic effect!

I can’t say all that much about the tea just now, as I’ve yet to try it plain. It stood up well to the milk and additions, though, and contributed a lot of its own flavour – I wouldn’t say pancakes, perhaps, but there was a certain “bakery” kind of quality, a maple-like sweetness, and a little bit of astringent bite. Combined with the salt and honey, I could definitely imagine salted caramel.

What I wanted from this one was a warming, comforting, just-in-from-work kind of cup, and that’s what I got. I’m enjoying being a bit more creative, too – it’s inspiring to do something different!

I’ll write a more in depth tasting note for this one once I’ve tried it on its own, but for now I’m very happy with it!

I tried this tea in my local T2 and I was suprised with the sweetness of this tea. It was like drinking pancakes with syrup but not in an overly sweet way. It was very confusing though but I enjoyed it regardless. Its now on my wishlist

This is a flavoured tea, not a tea whose flavour complexity comes from blending different tea leaves. It came in a gift box of various black teas, and I thought they were all real tea. It’s like buying wine when the wine-maker has added some sugar and vanilla essence but still calling it wine! It has a cheap maple cla our that has an almost chocolate smell. If that’s what you want, then fine, but I was in the mood for real tea made with a blend of black tea, and I did not get it.
