This is the final tea from my staycation at Capella Singapore earlier this year. The tea is encased, as with all teas from Gryphon Tea Company, in a silken tea sachet which allows the tea to permeate the boiling water; bringing out the flavor. I found the British Breakfast Tea to be the least exciting amongst the previous two that I tried: it was not as interesting as the Pearl of Orient and less 'exciting' than the Earl Grey Lavender.
When you take a sip of the British Breakfast Tea, the Ceylon tea taste is followed by the flavors of the Assam and Kenyan teas. It has a smooth texture with a mild malty sweetness to it. The tea had less natural sweetness to it than the Earl Grey Lavender, having a slight bitter aftertaste.
Despite its smoothness and full bodiedness, it wasn’t one of my favorites; it was seemingly ordinary (but than again I am no tea expert). After 5 minutes, there was not much of an aroma left but the brewed British Breakfast Tea did have a strong and intense flavor. This tea tastes much better with sugar and/or cream; it has a slightly better aftertaste without the sugar.
