Bitter to Go with Sweets
If you like black coffee straight, then you'll probably like these selection of teas
One of the bitterest teas I've come across. Strong, bitter black tea; it's my favorite kind to pair with sweet things.
Scottish Morn
Not as bitter as Scottish Morn but it has a smoky aroma; still pretty bitter that I had to drink it a few times to get used to it.
East Frisian
Yeah, you can't go wrong with a solid English breakfast black tea
SGS Special English Breakfast
Floral & Aroma
Lighter black and green teas for those who still want some taste but not as bitter
Soft, strong aroma and taste that's easy on the palate if you don't like strong teas. Good to enjoy if you like something light and non-bitter.
Paris
Hints of roasted rice, my go-to for a light tea if I'm not feeling bitter black.
Genmaicha
Tasty black tea that's not so bitter. Nice aroma too.
Yunnan Golden Tips
I don't like earl grey by itself. It smells nice but I can't taste anything. This has white tea mixed into the blend which makes it punchier than normal earl grey.
Winter White Earl Grey
Snacks for Your Afternoon Tea
Sometimes you want something to go along with your tea
Absolute go-to with any bitter teas. But for some of the lighter ones, this is really good to dip into your tea and eat with.

For all who enjoy a meditative, ritualistic routine to start your day
My matcha skills are hit-and-miss 😭Sometimes I add too much or too little and the balanced is all messed up. But when it hits, it *hits* and it's so good.
