Where to Buy:  Capital Teas

Tea Description:

Capital Breakfast Organic is a blend of luxury teas from Sri Lanka, India, Kenya and China; a blend designed to compliment and enrich your day as you make your own history. The Assam component (2nd flush, June Production) gives a thick malt and full-bodied character. The Kenyan component gives a floral-like cup and coppery infusion whereas the South Indian component gives superb fruity and sprightly flavor with a lovely finish. From Sri Lanka we used a January Dimbula pick that gives an airy piquant flavor that opens the blend. Lastly, to draw everything together we added some Keemun, which gives a burgundy depth with light oaky notes.

Taster’s Review:

I’ve tried quite a few breakfast blends … and this one ranks right up there with some of the very best that I’ve tried.  This is really good!

The first thing I notice is how well-rounded it is.  It is full-bodied, and possesses such a delightfully rich flavor.  After a couple of sips, the smokiness of the Keemun becomes apparent.  It hits the palate at about mid-sip and then seems to linger through to the tail, offering wisps of smoke in the aftertaste.

The malty tones are rich and offer a pleasant, caramel-like sweetness.  The Assam gives this tea a very cozy, comforting kind of taste that melds beautifully with the smoke tones that are tantalizing my taste buds.  The Ceylon adds a pleasing fruity background, while the Kenyan adds to the heft of this cup … it’s got a lot of gusto, this Capital Breakfast!

The rich, satisfying flavor is delicious served straight up, but, it also takes the additions of milk and sugar (or honey) quite nicely. I think this one is best served hot, but, I think it would be good iced too.

If you have room for only one breakfast blend in your tea cupboard, I’d recommend giving this one a try – but, be warned, it is so good, you may find yourself replacing your trusty old breakfast blend for this one.  It’s amazing!
