English Breakfast ain't magic.
I took equal portions of nice black teas I have, 3-4g grams of each to 400ml water.
Keemun Maofeng,
Ceylon high mountain Nuwara,
Kenyan black from Kimunye nice large FOP like that nuwara.
Best English breakfast blend I had in my life.
I've not had a blend from store that comes close, like they're not even trying... because I didn't just used good quality tea.
Yet I also think these teas are best enjoyed on their own especially keemun.
