Review — English Evening by The English Tea Store
Name: English Evening Brand: English Tea Store Type: Black and green tea blend Form: Loose leaf Review: I’m not quite sure what makes this an “evening” blend, though I suspect it’s somewhat austere flavor has something to do with it.

Review — Organic Irish Breakfast by The English Tea Store
Name: Organic Irish Breakfast Brand: English Tea Store Type: Black tea Form: Loose leaf Review: The English Tea Store’s Organic Irish Breakfast tea is pretty much what I expected: Super strong, robust, not very complex, but possessing the ability to wake a person up and clear their palate of any lingering breakfast flavors.

Review — Organic Assam TGFOP by The English Tea Store
Name: Organic Assam TGFOP Brand: English Tea Store Type: Black Tea Form: Loose leaf Review: While some organic teas are distinguished by being over-priced and of mediocre quality (yet easily marketed because they are labeled “organic”), The English Tea Store’s Organic Assam TFGOP is not one of them.

Review of Lovers Leap Estate Black
Name: Lovers Leap Estate Brand: English Tea Store Type: Black tea Form: Loose leaf Review: This is a very reasonably priced, albeit very “neutral” Ceylon black tea which may well suit those who are looking for a very neutral, yet versatile, black tea that can go with a variety of foods. Even better, it can Continue reading

Review of Kambaa Estate by The English Tea Store
Name: Kambaa Estate Brand: English Tea Store Type: Black Form: Loose leaf Review: For those who like a vigorous, flavorful but unrefined cup of tea, Kambaa Estate may be just the thing. This is a machine processed tea from Kenya, so its “leaf” looks more like tiny little chocolate brown pellets than leaves. Even more Continue reading

Review of Keemun Panda by the English Tea Store
Name: Keemun Panda China Black Tea Brand: English Tea Store Type: Black tea, Chinese Form: Loose leaf Review: As those who follow me in the tea world know, I am fond of Keemun.
