Backlog from yesterday evening. I got home from traveling, and was extremely tired, but as it was early evening and not yet bedtime, I didn’t want to sleep. So, I needed a nice and strong caffinated tea, and quick.
On to the note!
Taste: For some reason, regular black teas, or mixtures kind of like English Breakfast always remind me of honey for some reason. I guess it’s just the bold, slightly sweet taste of tea. This tea delivers a nice, rich taste, and gives a sweet aftertaste. All in all, it was a nice tea, not too plain but not too jazzy.

In my opinion, this tea is not quite as advertised. I did not find this tea to have a very strong or full bodied flavor. The taste is pleasant but subdued. It reminded me of a watered down English Breakfast tea. This blend is also said to have a high caffeine content. Maybe I am being greedy, but I would like the high-octane caffeine to be accompanied by super-charged flavor. Several years ago, some companies produced and tested a silent vacuum cleaner. The machine did not do well in consumer testing because people associated great suction and cleaning power with a loud noise. This is how I feel about the Wissotzky Classic Tea. I want my high caffeine morning cup to be accompanied by a loud noise.
A tea bag from my big bags again, but for some reason I recall buying this more recently. However, it’s still about two years. Oh well, these poor tea bags deserve more love. Hopefully after finals I will be able to sit down with them and finallly sort them out.
Anyway, to the tea.
There is in ingredients: “Orange Pekoe & Pekoe Cut Black Tea” so I was naturally afraid it being very strong and very tannic. Luckily, it isn’t like that. But tastes like a generic, a quite mellow black tea. Nothing much to write more. While it isn’t bad, it’s just nothing to write about. Hmm.
Maybe the malt translates as honey to you.
Good point!! It does have a grainy taste to me, too, sort of malty when I think about it. That’s weird though, that I’d get honey out of the mix. LOL But at least I have something to describe as far as the taste.
