This is a delicate blend of different types of tea from Ceylon, India and Kenya.
Company description not available.
The flavor of most of the English Breakfast varieties I have tried and reviewed are nice and pleasant but normally nothing to get over-excited about. English Breakfast tea figures prominently in my morning lineup as the first cup of the day. This is my “business cup” because it provides a high caffeine shock to my metabolism that gets me charged up and motivated to start my daily task list. My “pleasure cup” of tea is always reserved for the second cup of the morning. That is the more delightful, fruity, and bold cup that I anxiously anticipate to chase down the usually standard tea taste of English Breakfast. However, all of that changed this morning when I sampled Wissotzky English Breakfast Tea for the first time. I knew something different was afoot when I saw the bright amber color that this tea possessed. With my first curious sip, I immediately noticed a purity to the flavor that I hadn’t experienced with other English Breakfast formulas. Its bright robust quality sends the essence of great tea taste straight to your tastebuds. It is definitely English Breakfast tea flavor, but amplified to astounding heights. The best illustration I could make would be to compare this tea to the appearance of the Tin Man in The Wizard Of Oz after he was buffed, polished, and shined to meet the Wizard. He was still the Tin Man but he was now one cool and buff dude. After I finish all of the other English Breakfast teas in my stash, this Wissotzky tea will be my Numero Uno of this variety.
Yesterday exam went well. Very well! I got a B.
And then I drank 5 beers. From lagers to IPA. Oh well. But I don’t have any hangover nor headache. Probably very fine beers then.
Anyway to the tea. I needed something bold and brisk and this delivered both of it. Very strong malty notes with drying notes; but certainly not bad. Caffeine booster.
But there are not only malty notes, but as well some… notes of fruits maybe?
Anyway, very nice surprise — considering it’s only teabag!
Flavors: Malt, Stewed Fruits
I´m curious : what were the beers you drank? I´m into beer as well (as a Belgian it´s part of our upbringing ;-) )…
Yay! Congrats on the exam (:
Good job! I like IPA’s too, they hit the spot.
Thanks :)
And as of beers :) I am drinking almost everything. Good lagers, pilseners, but I crave sometimes for ales, no matter if IPA, APA, or summer ale. I had only Leffe from Belgium and somehow I was not that impressed Ilse :) but it is possible that my palate changed a bit.
I am always curious to try Black IPAs though, this is my very favourite style.
Yay. <3
Hooray, Martin! Such happy news!
Thank you Kawaii433 and ashmanra :)
Sipdown (332)!
Thanks for the sample VariaTEA!
I ended making three different teas to drink on the drive to and from my Grandma’s house this weekend, and that included this tea steeped up in a carry mug. I debated adding milk/sugar but ultimately decided to try it straight.
It was good, but nothing exciting or out of the ordinary for an English Breakfast. Mostly, it tasted of raisins, but with malt and floral notes too. Very brisk and full bodied, as English Breakfast is intended to be. It kept me happy on the car ride, but past that I’m sure it’ll be forgettable alongside many other breakfast teas I’ve tried over the years.
Why does this have such a high rating.
It’s bland, it’s light, there’s almost no tea in the bag! freaking thing tastes like air.
It’s from the holy land, it has to be good, right? Wrong. it’s terrible.
don’t get it. ever.
