Tattle Tea English Breakfast Blend

I've always been a fan of English Breakfast Blend Tea, but until now I've never really found a good one. A few weeks back Tattle Tea sent me this, and a couple other, sample to review. I've always purchased tea in bags, but I'm pretty excited to try another loose tea in the ForLife infuser I reviewed a few days back.

Once the sample size canister is open there's a blooming aroma of black tea with a hint of clove spice that you can smell quite well at arms length.

After infusing 1-1/2 ounces tea for four minutes, the results is a liquid that's a cloudy, deep caramel color with bold aromas, it looks like weakly brewed coffee. The radiating aroma from the cup fills the room with notes of black tea plus a hint of cloves. If this English breakfast blend tastes as good as it smells, it should be fantastic.

The first sips are bold, yet crisp with a strong complex tea flavors. It's sweet and leaves my mouth watering for more. I do notice a slight spiciness in the sweet aftertaste tying it in to the aroma. As the tea cools, the spice fades and the tea has a slightly heavier mouthfeel. There's no bitterness or sourness in this sample like can be found in the past grocery store versions I've tried.

A blend of Chinese and Sri Lankan black teas, this English Breakfast Blend Black Tea would make an excellent substitute for someone wanting to replace their morning coffee.

Rated 9.6 out of 10 stars

I would like to thank Tattle Tea for providing this sample for review.

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these Tryst e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic. You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
