↑About Simpson & Vail
Simpson & Vail is a tea and coffee company founded in 1904 by Augustus M. Walbridge, in New York City. In 1929 it was sold to Mr. Simpson and Mr. Lester Vail, who renamed the company to its current name. Until 1962, the company only sold loose tea, but it has since added tea bags and coffee to its offerings. In 1978, Jim and Joan Harron purchased the business.

Classic Assam aroma, with a bit of a fruit under tone. Liquor is a deep amber/red (5 minute steep). Flavor is excellent Assam. Overall, an excellent blend.

Heavy fruit aroma. Liquor is a pleasant amber (5 min steep). Not a bad tea, just something I would not enjoy on a regular basis. Might be just what an Earl Grey fan is looking for. Might be a good dessert tea. Not for me.

As should be expected, strong earthy aroma with a hint of fruit. the liquor (s min steep) is a deep brown with a slight red. Flavor is a nice strong black tea blend. This tea is an all sipping choice.
Read Full ReviewThe aroma is a strong black blend, with a 'peachy' under tone. The liquor is a deep amber (5 min steep). The taste is very enjoyable, the Oolong addition mellows the blend a bit. This would be an all day sipping tea for me. I will work this tea into my regular rotation.

The aroma has a pleasant fruitiness. The liquor (5 minute steep) is a medium brown. The flavor is mild, and tasty, with a slight sweet after taste. Would be good as a base for a blended tea. Tasty.
