Black Tea, English Breakfast, 20 Sachets

Actually, I have 4 favorite teas, and they are all produced by Harney & Sons. This English Breakfast Tea by Harney & Sons is a classic Chinese black tea. It's what I consider a fine cup of tea. No frills or added flavors. It looks, tastes and has the wonderful aroma that I always wanted in a traditional cup of tea, but was elusive until I found this one. It's a caffeinated tea and good to drink anytime and anywhere. Unlike white and green teas, which are best infused with less than boiling water, this black tea is brewed with boiling water for 5 minutes. I make a 16 oz. pot of tea with one silk sachet. I also make a lovely sweet iced tea from this for the summer as well. It comes in an attractive and useful metal tin, to keep the 20 silk sachets fresh from first to finish. If you want a simple, traditional cup of tea, this fits the bill. I serve this to people who say they just want regular tea, and it always brings on compliments. Once they try this, they often adopt it as their favorite tea too. Sure, it's a little more expensive than the bargain brand in paper bags, but it's always fresh and makes an excellent cup of tea. It's well worth it if you enjoy good tea. As always, make sure you use filtered or bottled water to brew this, or any tea. If the water has chemicals or off tastes and/or smells, putting even the best tea in it won't remove or cover up the fact that it's not for making tea. My favorite teas, and I couldn't pick one over the other, are Harney & Sons Wedding Tea, Jane's Garden Green Tea, English Breakfast Black Tea, and Dragon Pearl Jasmine Tea.

I had this tea at a casino in Las Vegas and loved it.

I don't have much experience with tea, so take that into consideration, but I liked this quite a lot. I wanted a change from coffee, and this was a great alternative. Tasted fantastic with a little milk and sugar.

nice strong breakfast tea. nice canister!!

I think this English Breakfast is Mild and Smooth in taste and flavor. "Bold" as stated on the container, it is not, but its a good taste! (My wife likes it, so its a win) The plastic tea bag, Sachet, well it works, but I'm a bit set back by more plastic in our lives! The tea leaves are very nice, whole leaves, no tea dust, fresh fragrance and the container tin was very nice! Amazon did a good job in packing, no dents! I'm into Allegro Earl Gray and other Bolder Black Teas! Will I buy again, well if the wife wants more, YES. Happy Wife, Happy Life!

Though I can’t speak to the taste as it was a gift for a house guest, I was so impressed by the product! The tim is really beautiful and the tea bags are organza sashés. My house guest liked this tea so I think it was a hit!

This as a gift for my mom and she absolutely loves this tea

This is a pretty good tea! It's one of the better English breakfast teas that I've had. It's not too strong and tastes really good with honey. Will buy again!
