English Breakfast (High Grown) Black Tea

Comments about Teavana English Breakfast (High Grown) Black Tea:

I've drank a heck of a lot of Irish and English breakfast teas from many different manufacturers. It's been a staple of my mornings for many years now.

I've recently ventured into the world of loose teas and higher end teas and, while among the cheaper teas on this site, let me say that this is absolutely worlds better than any English Breakfast Teabag or loose tea you'll find in the supermarket.

To those stating it is too strong or too bitter, I'd suggest cutting back on your brewing amount and/or time. It is a strong tea, and if you use a smaller amount you'll cut back on its bite; similarly, bitterness is likely resulting from overbrewing. Brew for the time reccomended and you should remove the bitter notes.

All in all, a great black breakfast tea, drank straight or with cream and/or sugar.

English breakfast is one of my favorite teas.I can't get through my day without it. I've gotten english breakfast from Teavana on several occasions and fell in love with it... untill i got it this last time. I made this new batch the same way I always have and the flavor was revolting. It taste like wet leaves. I tried to add more milk and sugar to make it taste better but it just made it worse. I couldn't even finish it. I don't know what they changed but I will NOT get this tea again.

Comments about Teavana English Breakfast (High Grown) Black Tea:

This tastes more like Jasmine tea than proper English Breakfast to me. It has a very aromatic, perfumey flavor that doesn't taste quite right with cream and sugar- which is how I drink it. As others have said, it's also very weak, and doesn't have the same body I am used to. I think I'll stick with my London Cuppa tea bags.

not particularly aromatic nor flavourful...will try again in a few weeks after I am over my virus...tea is one of my treatments when I feel sick and this tea doesn't do it for me.

This tea is the very first tea I've tried (I got it for a Christmas Preasent,) but absolutly not my last. To this day since then, this is still my favorite tea out of the many I've tried.

This tea is best with just a few peices of German Rock sugar, only about 3 or so, and a touch of milk. For my 20 oz pot, I typically will use 3 tea spoons of tea, 9 peices or rock sugar, and a tad of milk, maybe honey.

If your looking for a tea to mix with other teas, I have found that this blends extremely well with Honeybush Vanilla Herbal tea. It gives it a very unique flavor profile and an interesting kick for a jump start to the mornings. :)

I am a big fan of English Breakfast teas and have been drinking them since I was a small child. This tea, unfortunately, did not live up to my expectations. It was rather weak by comparison to others I've had and tasted a bit off. I am glad I didn't buy it in bulk. I will continue to shop for my other teas at Teavana, but I will be finding my English Breakfast elsewhere.

The tea hasn't changed. Perhaps there was an odd season, but it's always been consistent for me. This tea is wonderful as a daily drinker. It's rather unique, almost pu-erh ish in having a slightly woody, slightly sweet taste. I've tried the highest quality stuff teavana has, and I can notice the quality when tasted side by side, but for the price, this stuff just can't be beat, and at this price, us poor tea enthusiasts can still have something nice every day. It's miles above most black teas and miles below their cost.

I probably shouldn't have tried this after I had been drinking a lot of Black Dragon Pearl tea. This tastes like plain boiled water by comparison. I tried using more tea which helped some. I also tried brewing it longer and it just got bitter. I admit I haven't had a lot of "Breakfast" teas so what I like may not fall into that category. I drank this but won't order it again.

A year ago Teavana changed something with English breakfast and it has not tasted right sence. I has a almost ginger flavor.

Comments about Teavana English Breakfast (High Grown) Black Tea:

I think this tea is fantastic. I have tried many English and Irish breakfast teas and this one is great. I am confused with those who think it is cheap. I think it has the malty and citrusy flavor associated with high quality black tea. You do have to watch your brew time,as the tannin qualities will kill the flavor if over-seeped. I really enjoy this tea, especially on a cool Fall night.
