I typically love strong, flat black teas with an Assam base, like Yorkshire, over citrus-infused black teas like Earl Grey. I also like to drink my tea with a little bit of milk, to cut the acid, and for flavor.
This tea... this tea! It has an incredible depth of flavor, I can only describe it floridly. It's gentle, like a warm hug from a favorite, mischievous aunt. It's sweet, with subtle chocolate notes, like you dunked one single digestive biscuit in it once. It's incredibly smooth-- once it hits that perfect temperature, it's like wrapping up in a favorite blanket.
I brew 3-5 minutes with fully boiling water, although I've forgotten it for as long as 20 minutes (!!!) and with a little milk it's still very pleasant.
If you prefer the Earl Grey side of things-- try the Paris Breakfast Blend. Like tea and marmalade.
