Murchies Scottish Breakfast

Today's tea is the second of the three teas that Kathy gave me for Christmas...Murchie's Scottish Breakfast. The description from the website describes it as:
Murchie's Scottish Breakfast tea is blended to be full bodied, brisk, malty and oaky, with a hint of natural smokiness. Great with milk and sugar – or drink it ‘neat’ for a rich, robust cup.

With this strong, well-rounded black blend with Assam, Ceylon and Yunnan teas, Murchie’s celebrates our Scottish heritage. (Grandpa John Murchie emigrated to Canada from Scotland, where he delivered teas in the Scottish Highlands)
I agree with this completely - this is a VERY robust and hearty tea. It is definitely not for the faint of heart if you want to drink it without BOTH milk and sugar. This has become my "go-to" tea on mornings when I wake up and don't think I have the energy to go to work, and would much rather just go back to bed. It gets my brain going for sure, and I have yet to go back to bed after having my cuppa, ha ha!

As the name suggests, it is definitely a breakfast tea - I would never drink this in the afternoon or evening, it's just too strong of a tea for that.

This one is a keeper for sure!
