Review on ☕ Premium Quality English Breakfast Tea - Taylors of Harrogate, 50 Teabags by Alfredo Nosrac

A roommate bought this tea because a friend recommended it for its smoky aroma. The smell reminded me of a smothered fire. The smell was only charred wood and water; I couldn't even tell it was tea. We tried different brewing times and additives. Even if I held my breath, the taste of the tea was burnt. I'm not kidding: when the smell of a box on a shelf high above his head made the cat cough, we wrapped it in plastic and put it away. My roommate took it to work to see if we were just sophisticated tea drinkers. He has American, English, Iranian and Russian colleagues. Nobody wanted to take the leftovers of this tea home with them. As far as I know it's still under the sink in the break room to scare the firefighter at the annual safety check. I will try another brand, definitely a smaller one.
