This tastes like your classic black tea, except it was more bitter than other black teas. Not even a little extra sugar could help with the bitterness, and the resulting aftertaste. Nice and tasty, and then it hits you.
I really liked this and got several cups out of one k-cup. I just ran several through a very large travel mug and then put it into a smaller cup to actually drink. Got it in a variety box, buying a whole box now.
I have always loved black tea. I used to buy bags of Irish Breakfast but got tired of brewing the tea bags. My husband drinks coffee and I wanted my tea so we got this machine. My trial box (which was 6 k-cups short) had this and Earl Grey. I hated the Earl Grey, but LOVE this English Breakfast. The other brand of English Breakfast that are in K-Cups is not pure Black Tea so I will not try it. I have this tea EVERY morning. Also black Tea has more caffeine than coffee! I double brew one K-cup at 8 oz and then add 3 Stevia packets and it is a PERFECT 16oz mug of tea!
All the cups that came with my mini brewer were bold coffes which I dislike so I tried the tea. It was very good, typical black tea flavor. A little bit of sweetener is really great with it. Would be a wonderful iced tea.
I have trouble finding a quality tea in my area. The popular teas bought in stores are orange-pekoe, which is fine for iced tea and the occasional diversion from coffee. But this Black tea is outstanding. Many black teas have a bitter aftertaste but not this one. I enjoy it in the morning (hence breakfast tea) but it is equally enjoyable anytime, even at night when it it is time to relax. Do not hesitate. Get some today.
Probably my favorite of all the K-Cup teas, and definitely my favorite English Breakfast Tea blend of all time. 2 cups of this are how I begin almost every day. Also excellent as an iced tea.
