As the Social Tea series continues, this post is about the English Breakfast Tea.
Okay, so English Breakfast isn’t that uncommon. In fact, it’s one of the more well known black tea varieties. However, the Social version of this tea is packed with great flavour that comes through in every sip. This is certainly not your average mass produced, long-storage, overly processed cuppa.
English Breakfast:
This black tea is a blend of Assam and Sumatra teas. It produces a strong, dark infusion which, if left to steep long enough, provides quite a caffeine kick. Predominant flavour: malt! “Malty spiciness” is actually how the folks at Social describe this drink- and it’s quite accurate. This is a heavy tea as compared to the Red Chai and the super light Roasted Almond. Serving suggestion: best enjoyed with a touch of sugar (or honey) and a little milk or cream.
Stay tuned for the Emperor’s 7 Treasures (which I haven’t tried as yet :o)
