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!
See you all next week for more German shenanigans!
Now that we have had the approximation of English tea, is part 2 going to be the German interpretation of tea? I want to see what new features our European friends can bring.
ReplyDeletePart 2 will be a leaf tea I purchased in Berlin, so yes.
