I really don’t like this tea. It’s malty, but super tannic. I thought I just oversteeped it, so I tried a second cup with a shorter brew time. I don’t enjoy breakfast teas (too brisk for me), so I’m not surprised. I generally avoid African and Indian varietals because I find them too strong and fairly boring. Undertones of grain and coffee, no sweetness of “baked bread” as others have found. Maybe it was my sample, but it tasted like any grocery store English breakfast. Very underwhelming for such a high rated tea.

Hahaha, when I drank this two years ago it was three years old, so I’m guessing it is pushing that 5 year mark now xD
Hehe, indeed it is! It’s crazy to think that these teas are still circulating, especially since I only sold 3 pounds in total! :D

This is actually a sample I got from someone else (who maybe got it from someone else)? It might have lost some of its lustre if it is that old.
