Thanks very much, MiepSteep! I recently posted my love in a tasting note for Lupicia’s Melon White so MiepSteep awesomely offered to send me their stash of it AND a few of T2’s teabags to tag along with it. I definitely wavered many times about ordering some of my T2 favorites and some of the blends that I always wanted to try, and their breakfast teas were at the top of that list. So I’m very grateful to just try them before they were harder to acquire. Making me feel a bit better about not ordering them.
A black tea with a breakfast vibe, I’m liking this more than I thought I would with its Steepster rating of 74. Sometimes I have an issue with vanilla flavoring, but this is tasty enough. My only complaint might be that the black tea doesn’t exactly have the strength I love for a breakfast tea, but that might be because this is a teabag and if I were scooping my usual amount of leaves, I wouldn’t have the Too Light Black Tea problem. I like this though! The flavor really does remind me of what I think of as a traditional French Breakfast tea. It’s sweet, smooth, something like a pastry. The cinnamon doesn’t make an appearance until the second steep, but overall is deeper and has plenty of flavor. When I was considering ordering, I was wavering on a one pound bag. I don’t think I like it’s a top favorite tea, but I wouldn’t have minded stocking up on a bit of it. I like it’s named “Breakfast” because I agree that it is a Breakfast Tea!
Steep #1 // 22 minutes after boiling // 1-2 minute steep

I was hemming and hawwing over getting their breakfast mini-tin sampler on sale. Still considering getting it on Amazon… XD
oo… I didn’t think to think that t2 would still be available on amazon…
I would guess once they sell through whatever inventory they have at Amazon’s warehouses, they probably won’t be anymore. But who knows!
Glad to hear i’m not the only one who thought that the black tea base was weak sauce! I found that erring on the masochistic side with freshly boiled water for ~5mins gave me the breakfast brew I wanted. Enjoy!
ah, okay!
