"I've ordered this twice, each time thinking I'm going to like this as a morning cup, but always going back to my smoother Ceylon, Kandy OP. I think this is a perfectly good English Breakfast blend with Assam, but it's not my cup of tea, so to speak."

"The packet I received was almost flavorless. A Ceylon/Assam blend certainly should be "hearty," but this was not. The infusion was slightly bitter and had a hint of Assam maltiness, but nothing else. Even at it's low price, it's not worth buying."
