Organic Breakfast Tea by Mighty Leaf Tea (review)
The nature of a breakfast tea is to be robust. It is there to awaken. And it needs to be able to handle a drop of milk.
As a result, many lower grade breakfast teas tend to be brutish. You feel awake after drinking them, but your lips are puckered, your mouth is dry and you had to choke down those last few sips. Inevitably, the tea used for this is the scraps ? the dust or fanning that remains after factories have pushed out the higher end teas. Because the tea is so small, it infuses quickly; but it also lacks the character you will find in teas made with larger bits of leaf.
How does your mood affect your choice of tea?
My tea collection is a dominant force in our pantry. Off the top of my head, I’d guess I have over 50 teas to choose from. Yet every morning, I find myself gravitating towards three teas in particular:
- Yunnan Golden Monkey (Tea Leaves, an Australian tea shop)
- Keemum (McIvers Coffee and Tea, another Australian establishment)
- Kagoshima Shincha Yutaka Midori (from O-Cha)
