Our Review

A classic BLT (British Legacy Tea), that combines the strong teas from former British colonies. A great tea to wake up with, or to shake you out the afternoon doldrums. The British always use milk and sugar with this tea.

Robert 9/13/12

Excellent Body and Flavor

Average Review:

This tea has excellent body from the Assam and great flavor and aroma from the Ceylon. I could drink it every day with no problem. It goes well with milk and sugar but can be drunk with just a little sugar as well.

Felipe 9/13/12

Good blend

Average Review:

I agree with the 'mellow' part of the description. The ceylon brings down the aggressiveness of the assam and adds a layer of sweetness and fruitiness that compliments very well the astringency. Great aroma of the dry leave and nice finish.

Ted 9/13/12

Perfect

Average Review:

Orange Pekoe perfected, with a wonderful smooth brightness that's great with or without milk. For those of us whose first tea was Lipton, this is the archetypal cuppa. It gives a nice lift and is as comforting as a bedtime story.

Ryan 8/29/11

Very nice, but do not oversteep!

Average Review:

The aroma is light and the color dark and translucent. The usually hearty Assam taste is quite subdued and mellowed by the Ceylon. The flavor is only slightly dry, which seems to be hidden by a little sugar. In my opinion, the flavor blossoms quite nicely when a little cream is added as well. This is an excellent anytime tea. It has that delicious Assam flavor by with a slightly smoother and more complex character. Take care, however, as this tea turns very bitter very quickly if left to steep too long. I recommend four minutes just to be safe.

Jill 8/7/11

Tasty with sugar and milk

Average Review:

Very mellow, a nice breakfast tea. Not as hearty as Irish Breakfast but still a great tea to start the day.

Knocked my socks off!!!

Beryl 2/3/11

Totally surprised

Average Review:

Orange Pekoe was ruined for me by Lipton. Based on childhood experiences, I thought it was a bland and weak tea and just the name made me shudder. How surprised was I to see that true orange pekoe is a blend of assam - my favorite tea! - and a Ceylon.

Theo 10/25/10

Great!

Average Review:

This is an excellent, basic black tea for any time.

D 3/22/10

Solid

Average Review:

This one is very good. It's an everyday cup of tea with a traditional black tea taste and also quite fragrant. It won't win any awards, but it also won't let you down. It's full bodied, smooth and satisfying.

Spoony 1/20/10

Underrated

Average Review:

Absolutely delightful tea. I prefer this blend to most breakfast teas; it's mellow but full-bodied and strong enough to add milk if you like. Not malty, which I like.
