Taylors of Harrogate

hm, I’m getting a bit sick of this tea. Over steeping by just 20 seconds makes me twitch.

I just set up my computer in my new house. Have been moving in the last few days so has been extremely stressful. Nice cup of Black tea to relax, good solid tea!

A simple British ‘cuppa’ – strong, bright, restorative.

Simply, the most aromatic, fresh and perfect tasting Earl Grey tea I have ever come across. I bought this in bulk from a tiny shop in downtown Haworth, England (home to the Brontes). I am rationing it strictly for fear of running out. I have no idea where I can get more and I live across the sea and about 3000 miles away from where I bought this.

First day in Switzerland with Cara after not seeing her for almost six months. It feels like a day at a coffee shop with her back when we were in high school. The tea is from her friend who lives in England. Swiss flag cup (nothing could be better.)

I arrived at my girlfriend’s a couple of days ago, only to discover, to my horror, that she’d just run out of decent quality black tea. There’s plenty of excellent green tea to be had, but I do need a cup or two of black per day. So we’ve been drinking this muck since.

It’s absolutely filthy stuff. If brewed extremely briefly, it is possible to get it down. Brewed for more than a few seconds and it’s tannin hell.

Nice and hardy! Perfect for waking up or that extra boost in the afternoon.

Lot of soymilk, quite tasty
