"With milk and sugar, it was a dream. The bitterness was completely counteracted and transformed in to maybe the best cuppa I've ever had. "

I was introduced to Irish breakfast tea by my father when I was a very young girl. I’ve always loved the heady scent of the dried leaves and this was one of the most luscious I’ve ever experienced. If I ever have
the opportunity to design a perfume, it will be based on this very fine black tea. The bouquet was rich, sweet and intoxicating.
I like my tea exceptionally strong so let this one brew a good 8-10
minutes before taking my first sip. As an experiment, I tried it first
without my normal milk and sugar. It was very bitter, just as one would expect. I believe it would have been quite mellow if I’d thought to taste it earlier in the process. With milk and sugar, it was a dream. The bitterness was completely counteracted and transformed in to maybe the best cuppa I’ve ever had. It had a rich feel on the tongue and a delightful aftertaste as well, almost as if I’d just eaten a marzipan covered chocolate. My son, who prefers green tea, had a cup as well. He downed the whole thing in less than two minutes. In my house, that is a sign of a raging success.
I’d say my only disappointment with this tea was that I only had enough for one pot!
