Ridgeways Tea, English Breakfast, Envelope tea bags, 20 Count (pack of 6)

I would have given this 5 stars just for Ridgeway Tea alone! Very nice black tea variety....however, I only received one box of 20 ct tea bags, should've been 6 boxes @ 20 ct ea. at least I'd hope to be the case for $24.00(ish) US dollars.

Ridgway has managed to provide an excellent early morning beverage. It brews a mild flavor when the water is not too hot. This black tea has a nice spectrum of antioxidants.

Ridgeways English Breakfast : This is stronger and sharper than usual breakfast teas, with a very fresh flavor. The Brits here favor Tetley, but it's all murky and dull. Americans (esp, from the South) like Lipton, but it's very bitter. This Ridgeways "breakfast" tea is more like the Canadian-preferred "Red Rose", but is much fresher and cleaner. The very nice silver mylar packet probably has a lot to do with that. Great teabags love foil/mylar. As the tea sits after steeping and cools, it develops a really nice leaf/wood after-taste. It can take a little sugar but the flavor develops without it. This is really good stuff for sipping along with, since the taste shifts with time. I like the little extra floral note in the "New English Teas" better, but this one lasts longer while I work.
