Bold enough for breakfast, smooth enough for tea time

This is a vanilla tea for grown ups.  Though it says vanilla and caramel, it isn't candy sweet, but has a more sophisticated flavor profile with a nice bold - but not harsh - base.  It can handle milk and sugar if that is what you like, but does not need either. Nice!

A good, strong start to the morning without a hint of bitter.

It's got good flavor,bold but not strong. Very pleasing and enjoyable tea. If you like plum flavor and alittle cinnamon then this is for you.

Love English Breakfast tea, but the caffein buzz is a bit much after a couple of mugs.  This has all the flavor, not so much acid and no rapid heart beat and jangled nerves by mid morning.  Add a touch of cream and sugar and the morning is good.

Nice tea.  I love English Breakfast tea and this hits the spot and is cost effective for my tea habit.

An excellent and wholesome set of breakfast choices are found in this sampler.  Instead of having to mix up a ton of different ingredients to make waffles or pancakes, these simplify the process making it easy (like a Sunday morning) to throw something delicious on the breakfast table on a weekend (or even for dinner if you're a rebel without a cause when it comes to your breakfast food consumption timeline).

My prior experience with this brand was trying out their granolas also available as a sampler set from Amazon.  I enjoyed that like the pancake/waffle mixes, the ingredients are natural and I can feel good about eating them.  The addition of sunflower and millet really ups the nutty flavor of the finished product.  Since I don't have a waffle maker, I made pancakes and although the taste was much more earthy (maybe the millet taste coming through), they were enjoyable with some maple syrup and fresh fruit like blueberries and strawberries on the side.  I just made the Chocolate ones for breakfast this morning and found the sweetness is pretty subtle as there are not many chocolate chips in the mix.  I recommend mixing melted coconut oil instead of butter, especially for the Chocolate mix as well as the Coconut one.

Excellent tea.  A nice change of pace if you love English Breakfast Tea.

A tempting tea, much better than Lipton tea bags. Strong enough to wake up a sleepy afternoon, and combines well with creamers (yes, we use powder coffee creamer at times and it works fine for us), and also to have plain for those who opt out of sugar and extras, good with milk as well, it is not spectacular but it certainly stands on its own. After finishing a disappointing tea bought at an asian market, this one is way above that mediocre tea. Happy with the purchase. Perfect offering for winter, and delicious pastries, etc., we welcome Yorkshire Black Tea 80 Teabags to our home.

Great bold coffee to start off the morning.

I have had both the classic flavor and the maple and brown sugar flavor.  First I will offer some comments about the product as a whole, and then about the individual flavors.

These are great for a quick breakfast anywhere you have access to hot water.  It has worked very well for me to fill them from the hot water machine at work, for example.  Then I just stir and let them absorb water for a bit and I am good to go.  What I particularly like is that these have whole chia seeds.  If you have ever put too much water in your oatmeal, you will know that it can get soggy pretty fast, and that makes it less pleasant to eat.  But, chia has an incredible capacity to absorb water and can rescue your oatmeal if you do that.  (Though the maximum fill level is pretty well marked on the inside of the cup so it is hard to mess up.)

I don't need to eat gluten free but it is nice this is available, for those who need it (I got this in a subscription box).  The flavors I have had are also vegan (and kosher) if that is of concern to you.  The texture is pretty pleasant, not quite as rustic as if you just took rolled oats and soaked them in water, but not quite as smooth as steel-cut oats that have been cooked for awhile.

The varieties I've tried each have 7 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber, which is wonderful.  It is a somewhat small meal so if you are looking for something a little larger, a banana or some berries or a bit of chopped walnut or pecan would be a great addition, or you could have a cup of yogurt alongside this.

Classic: This has 210 calories and is very low in sugar.  I found it to be a little bland.  I have a few more cups left and I plan to shake a bit of cinnamon or ginger (do this sparingly) over it to add a bit more interest.  Oats are naturally sweet enough that you don't need to add sugar along with the cinnamon (I have found from long experimentation).

Maple and Brown Sugar: This has 240 calories and has a fair amount of sugar.  It does taste quite good, though, and does not need any additional spice or flavoring.

In the end, I am a fan of this product.  It is shelf stable, easy to grab on the run, has decent nutrition (though the sugar in the maple and brown sugar variety is a bit high), and is a nice change of pace from my usual KIND bars.

Ah, finally! A cup of tea as expensive as a cup of coffee--that's only fair for us uppity English-tea-drinking westerners. Why should the Java Folks have all the glory?

Seriously, this is a good, smooth tea. I like mine hot with half-and-half and a touch of stevia. But I get a better feeling using the much cheaper Twinings' tea bags--doesn't take much longer in a cup of hot water. Just put a tea bag in a cup, put a used Keurig K-cup in the machine, and press the button! In a minute or two, you'll have a cup of hot tea for just 5 or 10 cents. Enjoy your "top of the morning" relaxation.

I recently became hooked on Blueberry Wild Child Tea and wanted to try more from this vendor.  This pack seemed a nice way to do it, though the bags aren't usually needed here as I use a metal infuser.  I like that each one lists not only ingredients on the front, but caffeine level as well.

I'm sipping on Fireberry right now - shown in the pictures - and it's a strongly flavored yet smooth blend.  I typically drink teas hot, but this would probably taste good iced as well. I like this way to get samples of multiple flavors at once, and a mug that feels nice in the hand and lets me admire the beautiful color of the brewed teas as well.

My only complaint - and it's minor - is that the bags are narrow enough at the top that balancing the tea on the spoon without knocking it everywhere is a skilled act.  However, they're that narrow due to being resealable, which keeps it fresh, so that evens things out.

I first discovered this tea on a whim in a Fresh Market grocery store, the packaging looked interesting and so was the brand's story so I figured why not. English Breakfast is definitely my favorite tea (though Scottish and Irish breakfast are delicious too). I've been trying many different English Breakfasts in pursuit of "the one". When I first tried this one, after taking my first sip I quickly shook my head and looked at the tea, it tasted SO different. At first I wasn't sure what to think of it, I questioned if I liked it or not. But as I kept drinking the first glass I loved it, I just wasn't used to this particular black tea flavors. I've tried the Taylors of Harrogate, organic black teas, store brands, premium ones, etc. But this by far has been my favorite, and after just coming back from England and in pursuit of a really good English Breakfast, I have settled on this one. Its especially excellent with creamer in it (I use 20% creamer, known as 'light cream'). I gave my dad two tea bags so he could sample it just for kicks and he called me two days later telling me not to be surprised if he stole my tea while I was out of the house haha. I'm not sure how to describe the taste other than just different and maybe a slight floral hint? I'm not sure, and I don't even like floral or fruity teas but this one is something else, its very refreshing and now Wissotzky's English Breakfast will be the only one I drink from now on. On a side note though, I tried their traditional green tea and found that one to be just a solid good green tea, nothing wow worthy in my opinion, but a solid light option nonetheless, I just like heavier bold green teas. I plan on trying some of their other teas in the future. But you must give the English Breakfast a try!

I've been making iced tea with this mostly, but sometimes serving it hot. It's a good standard black breakfast tea, and tastes good both hot and cold. Brewing times aren't too sensitive, and it doesn't get too bitter if left for a while.

This tea has a pleasant aroma, but it's not very strong or bitter.  I frequently purchase various brands of English breakfast tea and this is one of my favorites.  The tin is pretty - it's mostly white, with red and gold designs and lettering, and I'd been wanting a tin that says "English Breakfast Tea" to accompany a few other tea tins in my kitchen.

The one thing I don't love about this product is that the sachets are made of a synthetic mesh fabric so they're not biodegradable, so the used tea bags can't just be tossed whole into my compost pile like paper tea bags can.  I have to cut them open if I want to dump out the tea in the compost, and then throw the empty sachet in the trash.

The free tea bag squeezer utensil wasn't something I was really looking for, but it's a cute extra.  It's a little pair of tongs made out of one piece of metal, shaped like nesting spoons.  The upper spoon has cut-outs of the letters "TEA", to let the water run through it when squeezing the tea bag.
I wouldn't say this squeezer is exactly a high quality precision instrument - the spoons on mine are slightly offset from each other side to side instead of perfectly centered, and the edges are slightly rough - but it's not flimsy either, and it's functional.

The squeezer came affixed to a piece of cardboard that says "Made in China for Christmas Tree Shops", and was attached to the tin with a piece of shrink wrapped plastic.  I think if I was planning to give this as a gift I'd unwrap it first and get the stickers off the tin and discard that packaging.
The tin came with two stickers on its top that left adhesive that was a little bit tough to get off cleanly. One was a bar code and the other said "This is a Set" - I suppose that's a good measure to help to keep the squeezer from getting separated and lost from the tin in the warehouse, but I wish they'd put the stickers on the bottom, or on the cardboard or shrink wrap, instead of right on the top of the tin.

All in all it's a good set, and might make a nice small gift or stocking stuffer.

My typical tea for the morning ritual.  Still a pleasure.
