cuddlesmom drank Irish Breakfast by Harney & Sons

52 tasting notes

Just had this tea again this morning, using my NEW tea machine (hopefully this one won’t rust on me in a month:) Such a great blend!

Nice red color, brisk scent and taste with absolutely no bitterness. I added a dash of sweetener and a dab of heavy cream…oh so good!

Nice malty, first thing in the morning tea. If you like a brisk black blend, this is a nice one to try. As much as I’ve enjoyed the flavored teas lately (chocolate and vanilla have been great dessert substitutes) it’s nice to drink something that is just a great tea…no fruity flavor, no extra sweetness, just good tea.

I have to raise my score because the more I drink it the more it is becoming one of my favorites!

Flavors: Malt

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 24 OZ / 709 ML

Bio

Where to start? I am cuddlesmom in honor of the most amazing dachshund/terrier that ever lived (she lasted 19 years, passing away in 2015). Otherwise, I am a history teacher, wife and ardent Bond fan (Dalton being my favorite Bond on the screen).

I dabble in writing romance and suspense, (though the muse has gone on what appears to be an indefinite vacation as of late). I just finished reading A Gentleman in Moscow & have to say what a fun read that was!

As far as tea goes, I have been a dabbler for a longtime but since I recently discovered Harney & Sons in Target, I’ve gotten hooked on it. Since that first tin, I find myself more and more interested in trying new types of tea.

The Harney site, with its free shipping and samples, is a very dangerous place indeed.

As for my ratings, they are based on a standard scale: 100= Flawless perfection, 99-90= Excellent, 89-80= Above Average, 79-70= Average, 69-60= Below Average, 59-below Failing, poor tea IMO.

Irish Breakfast is my black non-flavored go to tea, raspberry has been pushed out by Harney’s Goji Fruit tea as my favorite fruit tea. I am starting to do more green teas and have just ordered my first oolong, so we will see how it goes.
