Really nice refreshing tea.As another reviewer pointed out this takes slightly longer to brew than English breakfast tea needs a good stir at the start and the end definitely worth the wait.I find this a more refreshing tea than English breakfast .

Another excellent breakfast tea, with a superior flavour to the usual Assam/Ceylon/Kenya blends. Being a Flowery tea, the big leaves need 1) a stir to loosen them as soon as the hot water hits them 2) about 5 minutes to brew, and 3) another stir before pouring.

This is Indian Breakfast tea.
It's an excellent big leaf tea producing a fairly strong and tasty brew. In my opinion, it has a far better taste than the English Breakfast, which I found a bit too plain.
The only drawback is it takes about 5 minutes to brew, and needs a good stir at the beginning and end of brewing to get a decent first cup.
(If you're dying for a fast cuppa first thing in the morning, I recommend the English Breakfast BOP, which brews in the time for me to pour out the milk and get a biscuit from the tin to go with it.)

нормальный чай. без ярко выраженного вкуса, но очень похож на индийский чай советских времен.
