I thought this tea uninteresting. As an English Breakfast tea, I strongly prefer Twinings Ceylon Orange Pekoe. If they labelled that tea as their English Breakfast, I'd be perfectly convinced.
This tea has a very bold flavor. It is quite bitter--more so than astringent, which I like. Produces a clear cup with a rich reddish hue. The aroma is very flat, however. Slightly malty, but also tastes a little like cardboard. The teabag I tried was very fresh too, so I know this isn't a question of freshness, I just thought this tea was lacking.
