Carrington Tea

While shopping in a grocery store I do not frequent, I came across a new-to-me tea, Carrington Tea. It was very cheap,which may not be a good omen, but Carrington Tea is apparently out of Paramus, NJ, so we thought we'd give their English Breakfast a try in the parlor in the interests of fair tea tasting and supporting my old home state.

And we were pleasantly surprised. The breakfast tea is not as full bodied as pricier brands, but it does taste like English Breakfast, rather than orange pekoe, which may suit newcomers to tea drinking well. The price point, as they say in the business, will certainly attract tea drinkers on a tight budget. We've had two cups of the Carrington Tea English Breakfast, and both have been smooth, undistinguished perhaps, but not bitter and with no aftertaste. A smart choice for someone wanting to try different tea types but worried about buying expensive tea they will not like. And we really like the graphics on the box.
