Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Dense, sweetness of malt and honey followed by hints of high fired leaf.
Appearance
Dark Amber
Taste
This tea delights your imagination with classic sweet-smoky flavors of a timeless blend. The infusion is dense and sweet with redolence of malt and honey, peppered with a smoky hint that stays well into the finish.

Robust and smooth, a dash of milk uplifts the brew tremendously.

A Nice English Breakfast Blend

This one brews up darker and a little stronger than the others tried so far in my black tea sampler pack. I'll keep experimenting with the steep - still not quite as strong as I was expecting, but again, new on this new level of tea freshness. I do love the Assams though. Also, the site says only one steep, but I got a decent second cup out of mine, so give it a try (maybe use a little less water if your strainer will still submerge the leaves) if you'd like to stretch the supply a bit. Working my way up to the Himalayan Wine and the straight Assam, which I'm really looking forward to.

An always reliable, superb, breakfast blend

My favourite tea from Teabox. Always return to it after trying newer ones. A reliable standard - fresh and flavourful. Gives me a wonderful start to a day.

The true taste of tea

Every tea company makes claims about their teas that are in my opinion, only half truths. Now this Teabox English Breakfast? The description is spot on. I note the smoke and the malt. This will now be my go to breakfast tea. My work mates are used to grocery store tea bags, but I have convinced them that quality tea really does have flavor.

Bursting with Flavour

The English breakfast loose leaf tea is actual leaf tea not the tea dust that some prestige brands pass as "tea". The quality of flavour of this tea is superb. No more going back to supermarket tea. Highly recommended.
