Who needs coffee when one can enjoy a cup (or several cups in my case) of this brisk, malty and mighty brew? While I love all kinds of teas, similar to Danyelle, I find myself drinking this one the most. I prefer lemon and sugar in mine, it bring out the briskness; my husband enjoys it with milk.

In the morning I can't start my day without CTC Assam, it delivers caffeine to my heart's content without the jitters (and eventual crash) where coffee so often disappoints. CTC is a tea worthy of kings, but priced for the common man. Harney and Sons could double the price and I'd still buy it by the pound and feel like I'm getting a bargain.

This tea is my every day staple. Of all the teas I have, this is the one I pull of the shelf the most. It makes a strong, full bodied, and sturdy cup. I often have friends over for tea in my dorm room. Every one always asks for CTC Assam. I take a mug to my morning classes, I drink a pot while I'm doing homework, and I have a cup after work. It is wonderful any time of the day!

I drank copious quantities of this when studying for my pilots Instrument Rating and aced the written test - 'nuff said.

This tea is a great morning tea, strong and dark, if your looking for an alternative to coffee look no further-you've found it

Don't let the low price fool you--this makes a great cup of tea. I keep a tin of it at work and drink several cups a day. Infinitely better than the office coffee, and it even stands up to the cremated ferret I put in it when I run out of half and half.

I like Harney's Irish Breakfast but i love the CTC Assam. Full bodied and offering a great mouthiness, almost a chewiness and a deep maltiness, this is a reasonably priced Assam with the best characteristics of its type. Great with or without milk, a perfect cup, particularly in the morning and on cold days.

I hae tastd the Irish and English Breakfast teas and fing the the Asam CT a bolder and better tea. I use two rounded tablespoons per pot (about 20 oz. I use a French press and find that I brew a perfect pot with a brew time of 6 minutes. Have fun and good uck. PC

While I love Irish Breakfast tea, I find this less expensive option to be just as satisfying. Strong, malty, and a great stimulant for breakfast or during the work day.
