If I can get past the smell, I'll rate this. To me, it smells like cat spray. I have not tried this yet, but I will gird my loins and do so

This has a bit of malt, a bit of astringency, maybe the barest hint of floral. It is a good tea for plain tea drinkers, but can take milk and sugar as well. The Brits are particularly good at blending teas that are always good if not full of nuance or "differentness". Most of the teas of this style I save for mornin...

Who whee, this is most definitely a breakfast tea. It is about as straigtforward an English style tea as you can get. No nuances, just good black tea, the kind you find in every English pot. I would only brew it for 3.5 - 4 minutes as it does tend to get a bit tannic. Just made for cream and sugar, if you like swee...

One of my all time favorites from when I first began to appreciate tea. Supposedly the Queen has this at her annual garden party, which I have been unable to attend.

I brew this for 3.5 minutes with boiling water. It gives off an aroma of woodsiness with overtones of wheat and asparagus. This carries right on over into the taste of the brew, which is malty and woodsy with floral overtones. What a great way to wake up!
