 Forget Beer Face, I have a case of Tea FaceMay 02, 2011
By Jennifer L. Rinehart
Nothing beats a creamy, sugary cup of steaming hot tea on a cold and rainy day (I live in Washington, so I drink a lot of tea).
I usually buy loose tea at the grocery store, the price isn't great at $24.99lb but the taste is so far above the drab Lipton tea bags I grew up with that now I can't bear to drink tea from teabags. It's like watching television on a tiny black and white after a few weeks of using a a nice flatscreen, horrible and strange.
The price for this Davidson's Irish Breakfast was so much lower than what I get at the grocery store that I thought, 'ha! It must be my lucky day!'
Well, when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
From the moment I opened the bag, the tea smelled wrong. I still had a few teaspoons of Irish Breakfast from my last visit to the grocery store and when I compared the teas they looked noticeably different. The grocery tea, hereafter known as 'Good Tea' was darker, the tea leaves more solid with occasional bits of bronzyness scattered willy nilly throughout. The 'Good Tea' was not just slightly darker, it was several shades darker. Also, the Davidson's Irish Breakfast had a grayish-green tinge to it. In fact, it looked a lot like the oolong tea I bought last year and have yet to finish (guess I'm not an oolong girl).
I made a cup for my hubby, adding just the right amount of cream and sugar. When he's busy working, sometimes I think he'd drink a cup of soy sauce, as long as it was hot and he didn't have to fetch it himself, he's just so distracted, but he took one sip of the Davidson's and made a sour face. Anyways, he wouldn't drink it and I had to toss my cup down the drain too. There's no amount of sugar, cream or lemon slices that can fix this hellish brew. Sorry, but I'd give this a pass.

 Irish orange pekoe tea?Apr 20, 2011
By J. McGlothlin
Purchased this for my husband, who only drinks tea. He prefers Irish Breakfast tea, but often drinks English Breakfast tea as well. He tried it and stated it tasted like Tetl*y tea. To me, it tasted like the orange pekoe tea served at fast food establishments. It isn't unpleasant, but it just doesn't taste like Irish Breakfast tea, even when brewed with a large amount of leaves in a single cup.

 Too much like keemumAug 31, 2011
By RCK
My impression of Irish Breakfast has always been mostly Assam, sometimes blended with Ceylon, but never Keemum. English breakfast usually has that smokey leaf, but not Irish. This tea was smokey. If you are like me, and you don't like that smokey flavor, you won't like this one. I really didn't like it and would not recommend it to anyone who's serious about tea. Go for Harney & Sons...it's worth the extra cost.

Its a question of tasteSep 17, 2010
By Rev D Irvin Glazman
Advertisement for tea says it is strong and flavorful. The taste must be quite subtle. The tea, when steeping, presents with a deep reddish brown color. The aroma is quite mild. I brew an 8 cup pot; with one heaping tbsp. At 4 minutes the flavor is to mild. This is brewing as reccommended. To get an adequate taste I brew 6 cups with 2 rounded tbsps. for 5 minutes. This is the upper limit of their strength recommendations. Well; what do I hsve? At any level of brewing I either have a wimpy cup or one so bitter no pleasurable flavor could be discerned. This is the first Davidson's tea that I have not liked. I can not recommend it to anyone. Purchased at Amazon. Arrived quickly in good condition. Surprisingly little dust and sweepings size particles.

Wonderful, like a fine wine!Sep 05, 2011
By JoieK
Love this tea's notes of maple syrup. It's mild enough to drink without sugar. I wish it had more caffeine though!
