80 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5Alex Zorach (1453 reviews) on Jul. 21st, 2015
Served at Notting Hill coffee shop in Lewes, DE.
An outstanding English Breakfast blend: robust and strong, with a rich and complex aroma. The aroma is slightly malty, and has noticeable wintergreen notes.
Flavor is very bold and rich; flavor is both bitter and savory, and astringency is fairly strong; be careful not to oversteep as this tea can get harsh if oversteeped, but it seemed to do well with about a 3 minute steeping. Very full-bodied and rich, richer and stronger than typical for an English Breakfast, but with a typical aromatic profile of this type of tea (not quite as malty as Irish Breakfast).
Very enjoyable and I can see drinking this tea every day.
This was only the second tea from Metropolitan Tea Company that I've sampled, and I am very impressed and eager to try more, although from looking at and smelling the teas for sale, I get the sense that their black teas are much better than their green teas.
