Irish Breakfast

Steeped this for four minutes and it came out a deep brown with real body — no thin, watery cup here. The Assam gives it a solid kick that holds up well with a splash of milk in the morning.

That malty backbone is exactly what I want in a morning cup, and it holds up well with a splash of milk without going flat. Two minutes of steeping gets it plenty strong, so a single tin lasts me a while.

Poured my first cup and the color was that deep medium-dark brown they describe, no milk needed. The Assam keeps its strength even when I accidentally oversteep it, which my old breakfast blend never did.
