English Breakfast from Dilmah
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 4th, 2014
From the Dimbula area of Sri Lanka, this is one of Dilmah's best offerings, many times better than their standard English Breakfast tea and one of the best bag teas I've tasted. Very flavoursome, malty and a splendid example of the style. Now my preferred teabag of choice.

English Breakfast (Teabags) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 23rd, 2014
I liked this one - not too tannic but a little bit of a bite and a caffeinated buzz for the morning. One bag easily made 2 dark infusions. No issues here.
That said - the Ahmad Darjeeling is much better - but i love Darjeeling in the first place.
English Breakfast from Bare Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Anhui, China73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 17th, 2014
I was impressed with this tea; it made a good cup to enjoy on my work break. I thought it had a subdued flavor compared to other English Breakfasts, and it didn't leave a bitter aftertaste.

English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 16th, 2014
I actually enjoyed the first & second infusion of the teabag I brewed out of sheer desperation. Maybe it was because I was sick, maybe it was the 2 packets of Splenda I added (no honey to be found) and maybe it was because a hot cup of ANYTHING would have helped, but I rather liked the Twinings. Not a holy grail, but...

Devonshire English Breakfast Black Tea from Celestial Seasonings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 20th, 2013
I wasn't expecting much...but has some aroma. Tones of malt and wood. Yes, it's not loose tea, and I even think this is pretty far behind most of Celestial Seasonings' herbal blends.
Considerably smoother than Lipton, but still full-bodied. I'd appreciate a little more up-front bite--perhaps a longer steeping wou...
English Breakfast Decaf from Red Rose Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 16th, 2013
The tea bag has no smell, contrasting with the tea bag of the caffeinated Red Rose English Breakfast, which has a pleasant malty smell. I steeped for 5 minutes, which is what I prefer for the caffeinated version--even that tea is on the weak side for my tastes.
Upon brewing, the cup doesn't have much of a smell, bu...
English Breakfast Decaf from Red Rose Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 30th, 2013
This tea is pretty good. It's strong and not too bitter. It tastes like other low-grade decaf black teas. I added cream and sugar.

Awake English Breakfast Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 21st, 2013
I tend to favor English Breakfast. Tazo doesn't disappoint me. Nice tea I can count on to 'awake' me just as stated. I steep for 3 mins. I take with cream and a scant of sugar. I brew bags at home, since I can usually buy a whole box for the price Starbucks want to charge me for one cup at the store. So, this is ...

This tea is pretty good, but it has a slight vegetal flavor that I don't like. It tastes a little green. I added cream and sugar.

Nov. 11th, 2013
Initially sampled at the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival, but I'm glad I sampled this on my own because I liked it even more when I brewed it myself. An unusual Keemun with both cooling and warming qualities. Strong enough to be a breakfast tea, but stands out among both other English Breakfasts and other Keemun...

Breakfast Blend Tea Bags from Fortnum & Mason
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Assam, India57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 25th, 2013
I found this tea interesting in that it is in the English Breakfast style, but is made from pure Assam. The tea bag looks unimpressive--it's just a simple tea bag filled with very finely broken tea dust or fannings.
The brewed cup is not bad though. It's a little darker in color than a typical English Breakfast, w...
English Breakfast (High Grown) Black Tea from Teavana
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 1st, 2013
It´s a strong tea for the palate, I prefer lighter.
The combination of 3 black teas give a good aroma.
English Breakfast from Choice Organic Teas
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 9th, 2013
While this wasn't my favorite bagged version of this tea, Choice put forth a decent English Breakfast. I think it could compete with Bigelow and Twinings as an everyday black tea. I'm giving Choice a few extra stars for being organic, which is always a big plus in my book!

bitter and astringent smell, taste is bitter black tea that is too strong in bitterness...alex gets it right saying it tastes a bit like cardboard...not pleasant x3

Aug. 29th, 2013
This was not what I expected; a very smooth English breakfast tea. Very full-bodied and mild, more sweet than bitter. Creamy, and a bit bland flavor-wise.
Aroma is unusual...the dominant quality is vanilla and caramel, but in those subtle ways that pure teas exhibit these sorts of qualities. Slightly flat tasting...
Awake English Breakfast Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 24th, 2013
This is my usual choice on work days mornings. I go to Starbucks, quick and easy. It has good flavor and will help open your eyes on an early morning.
Full leaf, so it has decent taste. Convenient.
English Breakfast from Twinings
Style: English Breakfast – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Aug. 15th, 2013
This tea is nothing special. It's a pity, you'd expect Twinings to get at least a basic English Breakfast tea right, but sadly this one falls short. Not only is the flavor lacking, but it's easily overbrewed, and tends towards the bitter side.
If one manages to properly brew it, there's still nothing to write ho...
British Breakfast from Republic of Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 29th, 2013
I was actually quite interested to finally sample this tea, as Republic of Tea seems more oriented towards blends and flavored teas, but I tend to like pure teas best.
I found this to be an average black tea in tea bags. Nothing really jumped out at me. There were fewer objectionable qualities (less harshness) tha...
Organic Breakfast from Mighty Leaf Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 3rd, 2013
This is served at a local coffee shop I go to - along with other (and better) varieties of Mighty Leaf. This is a run-of-the-mill black blend - fully caffeinated - and not a fave but better than grocery-store brands. I much prefer (as Alex has said) the green ones.
Also it brews/steeps up dark and fast - 4 minutes...
English Breakfast (Teabags) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 21st, 2013
Everything about this tea is fair, I was not overwhelmed by the aroma or the taste. Sadly it was all bland. The aroma was malty and there was a slightly malty taste. I added a bunch of cream and it brought out some of the richer maltiness of the tea.
English Breakfast (Teabags) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 12th, 2013
I thought this tea was okay. Nothing too crazy.
It was a bitter hot and less so as it cooled off, so I'd be more inclined to make iced tea out of it. There wasn't much of a smell, which I feel is pretty typical for most English Breakfasts I've had anyway.
I'll stick with other brands by Ahmad -- some of their lo...
Organic Decaf English Breakfast from Paisley Label Tea (Paisley Tea Co)
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Jun. 7th, 2013
Like Paisley's other offerings, this is finely-broken tea in a flat paper tea bag.
In contrast to Paisley's other teas, which I found overwhelmingly strong, this one was weaker than typical for black tea. I steeped it a bit longer than normal, and both the color and flavor were on the mellow side.
The aroma is i...
Awake English Breakfast Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 29th, 2013
Of all the teas I've sampled from Tazo in both the old tea bags, and the new full leaf sachets, this is the one that I think improved the least.
I thought the old tea was already pretty complex, above average for a tea bag, but I think this one is below average for a whole leaf sachet.
Aroma is mostly malty, typi...
Awake English Breakfast Filterbag from Tazo Tea

May. 19th, 2013
Wow does this have caffeine in it or what? Dark and Black - brews up quickly and easy to find everywhere that carries Starbbucks. I usually opt for Zen or another Tazo blend to this - but if it was this or Lipton? I'd take Awake for sure. Very strong black tea.

English Breakfast from Stash Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2013
An inexpensive English Breakfast (bagged) option from Stash. Not great but not bad either. Black, caffeinated, full bodied and brews up quickly to an inky black (be careful). Readily available. Good hot. (Not ideal iced in my opinion.)
