Tea with Liam - Scottish Breakfast

Published:
396 Views

Description

A commonly forgotten breakfast tea is the "Scottish breakfast" and it is the strongest tea out of the whole family. Legend has it that the water in Scotland is "Soft" - meaning that is has little in ways of impurities and mineral content. It also means the water lacks a certain "taste" and therefore need a stronger tea to complement the "tastelessness" of the water. As much as I am a tea enthusiast, I think this legend is probably someone's fanciful imagining that has been retro-fitted to an existing version of breakfast tea. It's much more likely that the hearty, robust Scottish highlanders like their tea just the way they are!

I didn't even know Scottish teas were supposed to be the storngest. I always assumed Iris teas were. 
Leave it to the scots to make everything a matter of pride and masculinity. xD

Very cool addition to the series, my friend! :)
