German Breakfast

This tea is excellent! The flavor is strong but not overpowering. It provides a little energy boost in the morning, too.

I steeped 3 grams in 12 ounces of 212 degree water for 3 minutes. This is a very malty, strong, robust, flavorful Assam breakfast tea with a brisk finish! I found this one in particular to be full-bodied with leathery notes with a slightly astringent finish. It plays really well with milk and sugar and it definitely gave me the boost I needed! I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a strong and flavorful breakfast tea to have first thing in the morning!

This is a very strong and dark tea. I like to mix it with a smaller amount of one of my favorite flavored teas to cut it a bit.

German breakfast is a bold but smooth cup of tea! I love it at breakfast.

Have been drinking this tea for years. The best thing to get you going in the morning.

A perfect smooth dark breakfast tea. No bitterness at all when brewed according to suggested time & temp. I would even venture to say that first steep time could be cut back to 3 minutes resulting in an even richer second steep done for 4 minutes. I prefer my tea straight with no additives, however this tea would stand well with added cream &/or sweetner. It will also make an excellent iced tea whether sweetened or not. A pure tea that is definitely a signature.

WK German Breakfast tea is a great tasting pick me up any time of the day. I like it best with a bit of half & half and sometimes a dab of honey if I need sweetened up. I particularly like the fact that the caricature of the tea is such that that a bit of cream adds to it's richness rather than detracting or watering it down.

Tea was completely bland and tasteless. Will have to try it with honey and review again

Nice alternative to a cup of coffee. This tea was smooth and invigorating.

I will admit, I am not a fan of malt. This tea is very smooth, very delicious, and is a fantastic breakfast tea. However, compared to Scottish Breakfast, this tea does have a bit of a malty taste at the finish. Because of that, I use Scottish Breakfast as my daily breakfast tea.

I was looking for a very specific, very bold flavor profile in a morning breakfast tea that would serve as a coffee substitute. This tea hit the nail on the head. Incredibly bold, copper and malt notes along with leather and tobacco. I make a full pot early in the day and drink it piping hot with cream. I know it's exceptional because I've offered a cup to guests that immediately want to know where I purchased it. If you're looking for eye-opening coffee killer, this tea will rock your world.

German Breakfast Tea is one of my favorites - although it is hard to find!!
This blend is wonderfully smooth with warm caramelly notes. I love it anytime of the day or night!

This tea is what really brought me to WK. I received the monthly subscription as a gift and this tea stood out as an exceptional black tea blend. I had previously been a mainly bag tea drinker and fully converted after drinking this tea. I drink my tea black. This tea is robust and strong but without the bitterness of a bag tea. I've tried several of the other blends and this is my favorite.

Love this tea .. my go to was always English breakfast for a plain black tea this is a another favorite
I have replenished my supply of this tea quite a few times.. a must try for black tea lovers

Are you looking for a cup of tea that is smooth, full-bodied, and awesome? Then this is the tea for you. Perfectly balanced and not bitter. This tea is a nice way to switch it up from your classic English Breakfast Tea. Give it a try!

I used to enjoy East Friesian Blend and was sad when it went away. So I was thrilled to discover that German Breakfast is basically the same thing. Breakfast teas are my go-to and this one is a nice way to wake up in the morning.

I had some preconceptions when I read the name “German Breakfast” that were completely overturned by my first sip. I always take my breakfast tea with milk and sugar, but even within the range of milk & sugar teas this tea was surprisingly sweet & smooth, a very pleasant cup.

There's a hint of sweetness to this tea that makes it almost refereshing.

If you like strong black tea this is for you. I let it steep long and drink it black. Two cups in the morning does it.

This is now one of my favorite black tea blends! I crave a really bold tea , and this delivers - it’s big bold and smooth, not a hint of bitterness, love it!

This is exactly what I was looking for in a morning cup of tea. It's great with a splash of almond milk.

German breakfast is one of my favorite blends. It has character, strength, and wisdom. It builds sip by sip into a truly invigorating experience. Drink well friends.

This is the first time I’ve bought this tea from Whistling Kettle. I love it. Along with Irish and Scottish a favorite. I love having such great choices each morning. Thank you for making such great tea.

It’s hard to find decent tea , most of it taste like hot water. This tea is strong , not bitter and is my favorite so far. Glad I found whistling kettle!

Wake up with WK's German Breakfast! Strong and full-bodied like many English breakfast teas, this has become my new favorite. Thank goodness they ship to Maryland!

I just had my first cup of this and it is a favorite. I immediately ordered a large bag and am looking forward to start off cold winter mornings with this.

I love this tea. It is fantastic. Received a sample with my very first order, then couldn't find it on the site again. Can you say distressed? I certainly was. But, a quick email to the fine folks at The Whistling Kettle, and all was made clear and I ordered more of my favorite.

Have been buying this tea from Whistling Kettle for years.I love it, Moved out of state and so glad I can order it on line.

A great tea to get you going in the morning. Bold flavor and aroma without being harsh or bitter. Black with sugar!

I've always been partial to the various breakfast blends, but when I first tried the East Frisian I knew I had found my favorite. It is just so much richer than the others (even if you get the loose tea from Ehistling Kettle). My wife doesn't like the strong hot tea as much, but I make a big pot and she dilutes the extra and says it makes the best iced tea she has ever had.

Been using it for cold brew primarily. It tastes great after 24 hours, and stronger after up to 3 days (never infused longer than that... its always gone before then!!)

I like it hot, too, but don’t leave the leaves in for too long - it gets bitter!
