Scottish Breakfast

↑About Scottish Breakfast
Scottish Breakfast tends to be strong, full-bodied, and bold in flavor, usually stronger than English Breakfast. More so than English and Irish breakfast teas, it often has smokiness and/or a suggestion of wood in the aroma, although the degree of smokiness is highly variable, and sometimes completely absent. Some blends achieve such character by blending Lapsang souchong with other black teas. Other teas commonly used in Scottish Breakfast include Assam, teas from Kenya, and Ceylon.

This tea, however, is smooth with a nice complexity. I like it a bit more than Adagio’s Irish breakfast. As of this review, I’ve never tried their Engl...

This tea is very good for a typical black tea. At around 20 cents per cup, it is a pretty decent value. It is very thick bodied and strong and it's a great tea to start my morning off with! It is also really interesting because, although its very similar to an english breakfast tea, it's slightly smokier and has a grea...
