5A full bodied as coffer and no bitter tanin-like aftertaste  Sep 13, 2009 By M. Wiley "Tea Happy"
I decided to give up coffee because of all the brouhaha over cortisol ... but boy did I miss it. Tea was a poor substitute (so I thought), because the longer you brew it the more bitter it becomes. Then I discovered Taylors of Harrogate Scottish Breakfast Tea. Wow - you can brew it to full-bodied deliciousness and it never gets bitter. It's especially tasty with milk in the morning. Not just a substitute for coffee (which it certainly is), but a wonderful, refreshing way to start the day, all in its own right!

STRONGLY recommended!!

3It's okay.  Jun 24, 2011 By Happy29
Although I love tea and drink it all the time, I thought the Scottish Breakfast Tea was just okay. I also ordered Taylors of Harrogate Earl Grey Tea, and it is WONDERFUL! The best Earl Grey Tea I have had. As for Breakfast Tea, I guess my favorite is still Trader Joe's Irish Breakfast Tea.

5Taylors of Harrogate  Jun 24, 2011 By P. H. Chan
This is the best tea I ever drank. A bag makes more then one cup. Taste is great. I have even got a collection of these teas and given them for Christmas presents now I have more people hooked in it.

4Not Scottish At All, Just Good English Tea  Dec 22, 2009 By Robert A. Williams "libertarian"
The last time I visited Scotland was 1999 when I led a couple of my Birmingham wrestlers to the Isle of Bute to participate in the Scottish Highland Games. What I remember most besides wrestling upon slippery wet grass was drinking the best cup of hot tea ever! So I was keen to relive those bone-warming memories and recently bought a box of Taylors of Harrogate Scottish Breakfast Tea via Amazon.

The package arrived promptly from a seller in a neighboring state. I carefully opened the tightly-wrapped package containing the box of tea, then opened the box near my nose in order to greet a nice whiff of tea scent. The tea kettle was placed on the stove and the burner turned on high to bring the water to a boil. A tea bag was placed into a 12-ounce mug and then the boiling water was slowly poured into it, stopping about 2/3rds of the way. I then added regular whole milk, stopping at 3/4ths of the way. Finally I topped it off with more hot water from the kettle. I waited 4 minutes before attempting to sip the tea, as attempts made earlier than that bring a risk of mouth and tongue cancer.

The tea was exactly as I remembered warm and soothing tea, from - not Scotland, but England! It tasted just like PG Tips tea that I drank in Birmingham, England. 'Perhaps it was the milk?', I thought. 'Maybe Scottish milk has a higher milk fat content than American milk?', I wondered. What was it about that tea on Bute that I couldn't find in my cup of Scottish Breakfast tea?

Then I began reading the box. Taylors of Harrogate is in Harrogate - Harrogate, England! Not Scotland. This tea isn't Scottish at all. That said, however, Scottish tea 'officionados' maintain that English breakfast tea got its start in Scotland. It was invented in 1892 by a Master Drysdale of Scotland as simply 'Breakfast Tea' and soon the Queen of England and many other 'Southerners' were drinking it. Maybe all 'breakfast tea' is Scottish after all? I don't know what distinguishes them, but I guess I'll have to make another trip to the Isle of Bute to recreate my best experience drinking hot tea.

So there you have it, my cup of Scottish Breakfast tea was just as good as Tetley's British Blend; it just cost me a bit more. :-)
