Customers praised this tea as "strong, bold" and "complex & flavorful yet never bitter." The fine grind creates a rich, full-bodied morning brew, though one customer noted it was "basically a fine dust" requiring a good strainer. Shoppers appreciated the mellow, smooth taste without harshness. Delivery was consistently speedy with excellent service.

This tea has a great flavor but was very disappointed in the texture of the tea. It was basically a fine dust. I am lucky enough to have a very fine screened tea pot but could not use in my tea leave ball or other pots.
Delicious and exactly the right grind.
This tea is bold without being bitter, even when you inevitably forget about it and over brew. Customer service is always excellent, and delivery always speedy.
Very rich, full bodied tea.I like how finely crushed it is, makes for a bold morning cuppa !
Strong, bold tea. Order always arrives earlier than expected. I always enjoy working with this company.

I am so impressed with the flavor of this tea. It doesn't have the harsh, acidy-taste that breakfast teas sometimes have. It's mellow and smooth and wonderful. It's very finely ground, so you'll need a good strainer.

All my friends drink coffee... but I'm becoming a tea snob. I start every day with two cups, and ever since my sister-in-law brought me a Scottish Tea Sampler from her trip to Scotland, I've been hooked on this breakfast tea. I've not found its equal: strong, complex & flavorful yet never bitter (assuming you brew it right & use the right amount of milk & sugar). I've quit buying other teas (even Earl Grey, my standby for years) & don't dare run out of this stuff!

I first tasted Edinburgh Coffee and Tea Company's Scottish Breakfast tea when I made my first trip to Scotland. I loved it! I bought a tin the following year on my next trip. I had refilled with another brand since it was not available in the US at the time. Thanks to Scottish Gourmet USA, I can now have the original and it's still the best!

Wonderful way to start the day-- full of flavor, no bitterness, delicious.

The photo for this product, showing canisters of three different teas, is confusing. What's being sold here is a single canister of Scottish Breakfast Tea. I also don't know what the heck that other review is. I first bought this tea when visiting my daughter in Scotland. I asked her to bring me more when she came home. This is the first tea I can remember that makes me just sit and savor it until it's gone. Too bad it's so expensive here, but I can't find any other place to buy it and it's still worth it. You could always ask for it as a present. Also, if you order multiples, it cuts down the shipping cost.
