A truly magnificent elevated Breakfast Tea |
7/28/2020 |
First impression, it has a bit of that malty taste I associate with English Breakfast Tea.... only it's... subtler, elevated...something. I can only think this is the very nice version of an Irish Breakfast Tea. The VERY NICE version.
Last time I had anything this good was Fredrick Douglas, whose praises I will sing eternally. But this is a distinctly British Isles blend. Douglas was good without being from a place, this has that... flavor I associate with Breakfast Teas.
OMG I'm buying a pound of this.
James Joyce, the tea to drink when you have too much to do and too little time. He wants you to focus and maybe remember to eat. |

Decent Irish Blend |

I can't say anything bad about this tea. That being said, I can't say it has highlights either. It's a good tea for sitting around dreaming. It won't distract you from other things. |

Not much for his writings, but love this tea that carries his name. Hearty yet smooth and full of flavour and aroma. When our supply of Dunmore East runs low, this is the tea DH reaches for. Very enjoyable when you want a full-bodied black tea. |

Delightful Irish Blend |

The James Joyce Tea Blend is the favoririte of the 4 tins I chose for a literary gift sampler for the family. It brews to a beautiful golden color, reminding me of a fine Darjeeling Second Flush. The taste was slightly fruity which I love in a good cup of tea. It tasted great as is, no milk, no sugar, I'm at the end of a very bad cold, and this tea is very gentle and comforting and I'm glad I did not need to add any milk but when I feel better, I'll try it with milk. Thanks S&V, for offering this lovely tea blend! |

My Irish friend, Colleen, is a no frills tea drinker. Hot, black, sugar and milk is all she says she needs. Then I made her a pot of James Joyce Black Tea Blend. She tried her favorite way, then asked me for some ice and made it iced! She liked it so much, we had it iced again the next day. Thanks SV, you have a new convert to James Joyce Black Tea Blend. |

A fantastic black tea blend! |

I've never read Joyce but this tea is fantastic. I'm glad that S&V included a plain black tea blend because this one is amazing. The blend uses three black teas from India, Sri Lanka and Kenya. Not sure what they are specifically, but the result is perfection. I would agree with S&V's description that this is a malty brew with a fruity aftertaste. The sweetness and depth are there. I love a strong yet sweet black tea. I can appreciate a great complex black tea. Too complex to really fully describe. Note to self: I brewed this perfectly. I'd stock up on this one!
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug// 12 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // 10 minutes after boiling // 3-4 minute steep |

James Joyce Tea? I must admit I thought this was just a promotional gimmick. Then again, having ordered from S&V for 16 years, I just knew it must be a great tea blend. I was right. It is as good as my all time favorite, Beesakopie. A thoroughly delightful black tea that holds up at altitude (184 degrees = boiling point) and even better with a shot of Honey or Agave light. |

Sometimes I just want black tea and no extra flavoring. This is perfect. |

A great tea for company! |

This is the tea that I knew I would like when I read the description of it! This is my tea that I share with my sister when she comes over, I love this tea because it is something we can both agree on! She usually prefers Green teas and I drink mostly Black teas so we dont always see eye to eye in our tea times together, I know if I serve this we can have a pleasant day together talking about how we both love it! |
