My favourite tea from Teabox. Always return to it after trying newer ones. A reliable standard - fresh and flavourful. Gives me a wonderful start to a day.
Every tea company makes claims about their teas that are in my opinion, only half truths. Now this Teabox English Breakfast? The description is spot on. I note the smoke and the malt. This will now be my go to breakfast tea. My work mates are used to grocery store tea bags, but I have convinced them that quality tea really does have flavor.

Definitely one of the best English Breakfast teas I've had. The perfect aroma, taste, and colour everytime. Can be seeped twice, however the taste is a but milder the second time.
It's good, pleasant, better than average English breakfast tea
