Scottish Breakfast Loose Leaf Tin, 4.41 oz

As the title sugests, I've tried a few scottish teas. If you don't read the rest of this, know that this tea is fantastic. Anyways, The Harney & Sons was the first scottish tea that I tried, it was tasty! But... I used the whole container, and needed more, so I went with Brodies next, because of great reviews, and because i wanted to try different takes on the blends. After getting it, there was a stark difference between the taste. In musical terms, H&Ss would be heavy low-mids all day, nothing crazy poking out. Brodies would be the opposite, to the point I'm surprised they call it a scottish tea. All high-mids and treble, flowery. H&Ss information was at least on point, Brodies fell short, not even offering caffeine content. Brodies website is even more unhelpful than the bag. Both of these are strange lose "leaf" teas, which are more like leaf pellets. I wasn't happy with Brodies, so I tried another well rated brand, Taylor's. This tea is the business, tastes good by itself, with milk, whatever. Plenty of punch and sizzle. It's delicious, to be frank. If you're in the market for a new tea, and haven't tried this, I highly suggest it over the other two, with H&Ss being 2nd. It actually has fuller leaves, not pellets. I will be buying more!

This is the best loose leaf orthodox strong black tea I’ve come across.

I've compared Taylor's rose and Harney and sons Rose, both are excellent. Taylor's, which I seem to prefer slightly more over Harney has a great black tea taste and aroma along with a rose scent and taste that's like a true red rose. Nothing funky or flavored, just lovely aromatic rose and China black tea. This is a classic, high quality tea. I highly recommend it if you enjoy rose tea. I also recommend never using white refined sugar, instead use the La Perruche brown cane sugar, as it compliments fine teas so brilliantly.

Very good tea blend that kick starts the morning well. I love it.

Amazing. Delicious tea

The only problem I had with this order was that the seller packaged the tin in a bubble mailer. This seems to be an increasing practice to cut corners. As if they are ignorant of what packages go through en route to the buyer. Pretty much a guarantee that your tin will be very dented. Otherwise, the tea is lovely! Skip the tinned version, if you can. It costs more because of the tin packaging that you'll likely have to toss out on arrival.

This tea is so good Hot or iced!

The tea is delicious has just the flavor I was looking for in a morning tea. Strong, but smooth and floral. The tin came dented (it was packaged in a paper envelope), but that was a shipping issue, not a product issue. I just had to use a different container for storage. If you like English or Irish Breakfast teas, this is similar, but more flavorful.

I recently moved to Scotland and couldn't get used to the way tea tasted. Good tea, made properly in a teapot, is important to my whole family, so this was quite a drawback in our new life. Well this tea is a godsend. Lots of flavour and a good colour. Cheering and restorative. The caddy is very smart too. Many many thanks.

The tea is wonderful, I just wish I had gotten what was promised. The others tins of tea were for Christmas presents and now I don’t have them to give. The seller gave me some of my money back, which was alright I guess, however I now have to find other things to give as gifts.

Délicieux thé. Je l’ai déjà acheté plusieurs fois. L’emballage est de grande qualité et réutilisable à maintes reprises pour y transférer du thé acheté en vrac. Je suis satisfaite. Il est délicieux aussi bien avec du lait qu’avec du citron (selon l’instant du thé).

Schmeckt hervorragend
