Skotsk morgen

This is the first breakfast tea in ages that doesn't go watery when I add milk — the Assam CTC gives it a proper malty backbone that holds up. Two teaspoons in the pot and it's strong enough to get me out the door on a dark morning.

I've been drinking this with a splash of milk every morning for two weeks and it holds up without going bitter. The blend of Assam and Ceylon gives it real backbone, exactly the strong cup I was after.

The CTC Assam in this blend gives it that proper malty backbone I've been missing—it stands up to milk without going flat or bitter. Three minutes in the pot and my whole kitchen smells like a proper Scottish morning.
