My in-laws are from Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Whenever we visit them, this is the tea we drink. It's strong and delish. Sometimes my cat, Thelonious, thinks it might be delcious, as well! 😹

Thompson's makes the best tea. I have all their teas in my rotation. The Original Blend is the second favorite after Scottish Blend. I count of Teadog to offer all Thompson's Teas at a fair price that arrives quickly. I never want to be out of my favorite brand of tea.

Solid cup, but noticebly less complex and elegant than Thompson's Signature.
