English Breakfast (Loose) from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend40 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5

Overpriced for what you get. I like the tin though. This is a utility tea; it'll wake you up without being unpleasant tasting.

Good tea. This is what breakfast tea should taste like. A bit pricey, but not a deal breaker.

This is my baseline tea. Very serviceable, at CAD$5 for 60 bags it's a good value.

English Breakfast from The Tao of Tea

Nov. 22nd, 2017
This tea smelled fantastic, but it was disappointing when I actually brewed it. It also didn't seem to match the commercial description or my expectations for an English Breakfast blend.
The dry leaf has a fresh, light fruity aroma, smelling very sweet and bright. The fruitiness is more like fresh grapes than drie...
English Breakfast from Lipton Tea

Really delicious tea!!! I am heartbroken that Lipton Tea has decided to discontinue English Breakfast tea...my favorite tea. Now I have to go and find a brand of English Breakfast tea that tastes just as good. Any ideas?

English Breakfast from Mark T. Wendell

I got a sample of this in my last order from MTW. It looks just like the photo on the web page, not CTC but not whole leaf either. Looks like it came from a teabag.
I brewed it 4 minutes using boiling water per instructions. It had a slightly muddy appearance. The main impression was astringency, that coated the ton...

Twinings teas in general consistently fail to impress me, though before this, I mostly had tried a few of their bagged offerings. A box of this was available at an estate sale, really cheap, so I figured to give it a run. While it's better than their bagged teas, and not a bad tea at all, I'm still no fan.

Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend55 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Sep. 2nd, 2017
I've recently started looking for Fair Trade Certified teas, so I decided to try a box of Mighty Leaf tea.
My first impression is that the tea is lower quality than the packaging and price would indicate. The box says that the sachets contain "whole leaf tea," but the tea in the sachets is in quite small pieces, not...
English Breakfast (Loose) from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend62 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 26th, 2017
The commercial description of this tea is pretty grandiose...it makes it sound like a masterpiece of blending, and I would say it's not.
To me, this is a classic but somewhat run-of-the-mill blend that is enjoyable but stands out in no way. I would not describe it as complex, although it's a good bit more complex, ...

Jul. 26th, 2017
Other reviews of this tea seemed to be about the bagged variety, so I hope it's OK to create a new category.
This is the first loose leaf tea I ever tried, mostly because it's the only one I could find. It's about $10 for 7ozs. at Cost Plus.
It has a faint smell in the can. It has small leaves with flecks of go...
English Breakfast Teabags from Mark T. Wendell

Has a full, rich aroma. Good amber color. Nice, rich flavor. All the flavor of a full leaf with the convenience of a tea bag. I take this along to my favor breakfast place, I enjoy this more than the Lipton the restaurant serves.

Original English Loose Tea from Pickwick Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend7 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 9th, 2017
I know I don't like English blend tea, but this tea was very cheap (regular price €1.40 for 100 g, and it was on a 35% discount) and I figured that since it's loose tea I'll have more control, and it might end up tasting decent.
Wrong.
It tastes and smells like any other cheap English blend from flat teabags: sou...
Awake English Breakfast Filterbag from Tazo Tea

Mar. 30th, 2017
This tea is not a bad tea. With that said, I wouldn't necessarily call it a great tea. I feel it is an average tea.
The first cup I had tasted great, and I used microwaved filtered water (I was in a pinch on campus and had no other source of heating water), and it was very good. I let the teabag steep for the recomme...
English Breakfast from Revolution Tea

Feb. 25th, 2017
I am one of those people to whom this type of tea always tastes faintly like soap. This one, however, pleasantly surprised me. It wouldn't be one of my favorite teas, but I found it far more palatable than other brands. Revolution is one of my favorite tea companies. Even the teas I don't particularly care for seem to ...

English Breakfast from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Nov. 30th, 2016
As with their Chamomile (which was a good bit better), I got a few bags of this blend as a hotel guest in edifices where this was provided in-room, in individually wrapped bags. I hoped for more. The tea was surprisingly bitter and rather plain in taste, without any originality or uniqueness. I'd expect that from a ...

English Breakfast (Loose) from Ahmad Tea

Feb. 11th, 2016
My daughter came back from London with this tea packaged in little cubic tins featuring buses and other London sights. As such, my "value" rating is lower than it could be because she paid a tourist premium at a souvenir shop. I'd buy this without hesitation for normal American store prices.
One of the better lo...
English Breakfast from Stash Tea

A light liquoring color combines with a slight flowery aroma. Medium astringency and moderate tannins make for a pleasant yet bold experience. This mass-market tea aims for a broad appeal and achieves it.

English Breakfast (Teabags) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 8th, 2015
Part of an Ahmad Tea assortment purchased at a local Marshall's.
Aroma was good, however, I found it quite average and lacking any distinction from the run of the mill brands at the grocery store. I find Ahmad's other offerings are quite good for the price, such as English Tea No. 1, Ceylon, and the green tea.
Harrods English Breakfast Tea from Harrods
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 16th, 2015
We were in London, at Harrods, so had to buy something. The English Breakfast tea is decent and comes in a nice tea can. Overpriced by our standards (due to strong GBPound). But other than the novelty of Harrods, for a good cuppa I'm happy with many of the Taylors of Harrogate brands.

Served at Notting Hill coffee shop in Lewes, DE.
An outstanding English Breakfast blend: robust and strong, with a rich and complex aroma. The aroma is slightly malty, and has noticeable wintergreen notes.
Flavor is very bold and rich; flavor is both bitter and savory, and astringency is fairly strong; be carefu...
Bond Street English Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 31st, 2015
A classic, prototypical English Breakfast tea of average quality. Goes well with milk and probably better suited to people who (unlike me) drink their tea with milk.
A CTC (broken, mechanically-processed) tea; the dry leaf isn't terribly aromatic, but has a pleasant slightly malty aroma.
Produces a very dark cup...

Okay tea. Pretty normal English Breakfast. I have loose leaf English Breakfast, not tea bag, and it's just okay. Not much flavor.

English Breakfast Black Tea from MajaTei
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 15th, 2015
Definitely one of the best English Breakfast teas I've sampled. A somewhat subdued tea that was slow to infuse, but became quite robust if steeped long enough. Quite different from a typical breakfast tea.
The dry leaf, which is fairly large pieces of leaf that are tightly rolled, smelled slightly of cocoa, but wa...
The Black Lotus (English Breakfast) from Butiki Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 10th, 2015
I was so curious about The Black Lotus. Even the name is awesome. The reviews are great. It arrived here fast – loving the design of the bag. So sad Butiki is closing right when I am discovering them.
I brewed this twice – the first time I must have done it too hot a steep and too little as it wasn’t quite str...

Dec. 10th, 2014
Very nice - i like this one - comes in loose and sachets (not bags - I don't think) and I tried it in a sachet form. very nice aroma and easy to drink with or without sweetener. It is caffeinated but not like a "Lipton Black" - much more mellow. Not as good as a straight Darjeeling (first flush, baby!) but a good so...
