This week my I am in Berlin on holiday. When else will I get the opportunity to assess the state of tea consumption in this fine country?
At breakfast I chose to try Ronnefeldt's English Breakfast blend.
Brewing
No official timings so I defaulted to a few minutes brewing before adding some alpenmilch. The main point with this brand of tea though was the tea caddy system which is definitely a better solution than Twining's little tea bag strings.
Colour
A nice brown tea colour as expected.
Aroma
Smells like a standard tea - a good sign for tea abroad.
Taste
This is a fairly normal blend of Ceylon tea for a good breakfast cuppa. Definitely a successful tea. Apparently tea drinking is on the rise in Germany which can only be a good thing :)
Breakfast
In order to do this tea justice I did my best to assemble a Full English from the buffet. Very crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, tomato and some würst later and I had the closest approximation I could muster.
Conclusion
Deutschland has definitely succeeded at normal tea!
