All posts tagged "English Breakfast"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.
