| This is an absolutely lovely tea blend. I drink it with milk and a little splenda, and the taste holds up beautifully. It has quickly become my weekend and special occasion tea, because it costs more than plain old Lipton. I'm thrilled to find it here on Amazon. |

*****
Numi Tea's Morning Rise Breakfast Blend Black Tea is a premium Numi tea, both certified organic and kosher. The ingredients are fair trade certified organic Keemun black tea, fair trade certified organic Darjeeling black tea, fair trade certified organic Ceylon black tea, anfair trade certified organic Assam black tea. A powerful black tea blend indeed! There is nothing artificial in this or in any Numi tea.
On the box, the manufacturer writes: "Numi perfects the classic breakfast tea with this organic black tea blend, Morning Rise. Four of the most extraordinary black teas compose this hearty, complex, and exciting morning cup. Ceylon, gardened in the small and exotic country of Sri Lanka, bestows its strong yet smooth profile, while Indian grown Assam imparts a malty and robust depth. Keemun, from China, offers deep burgundy notes that complement the natural floral finish and fruity Muscatel of Darjeeling, cultivated on the mountain peaks of India. This rich, bold black tea blend has an unrivaled smoothness and a magnificent aroma resembling dawn's early warmth. Let the morning greet you through the radiant daybreak of Numi's superior Breakfast Blend."
It tastes strong and and is perfect for people who want a black tea that is not flowery or herbal-y but tasty, complex, and superb high-quality in the morning.
The price is perfect, a big savings over single boxes. If you like Numi teas, get it---you won't be sorry. If you are new to Numi but love black tea, this will probably be the best you've ever had.

| I look forward every morning to my first cup of this lovely Numi tea. This delightful blend of all my favorite black teas holds up well to my embelishment of a little stevia. It's the perfect ritual to start my day. It's a bit spendy but cheaper here at Amazon than at my local health food store and worth every penny. Numi represents a truly excellent organic product. |

| I adore Numi teas! They are usually organic and well priced at Amazon. Much better than a lot of the teas sold here. |

| Just love this tea. I had it for the first time at a restaurant and quickly found it in a grocery store. It is the perfect taste to me, and no matter now long it seeps (if I forget to take the bag out) it doesn't develop that bitter taste. It stands up well to milk or half and half, and is a lovely, well-rounded flavor. I've even been able to use the teabag again for a second (albeit weaker) cup. It IS more expensive, but I find that it is very much worth it. Perfect anytime, but a cup of Numi is really my favorite treat in the winter or after a cold rain. |
A smooth subtle blend!

Numi has created a breakfast blend with four of the most popular black teas--Keemun, Assam, Ceylon and Darjeeling. The aroma is a fine grassy floral tea blend. The leading flavor is Keemun, a malty, slightly smoky flavor. This is a smooth subtle cup of tea, without some of the more characteristic robustness of most Breakfast blends. However, it is still a very stimulating blend--fairly high in caffeine I would guess from its effect! Unfortunately, Numi does not list caffeine count on the box.
Numi gets points for their manufacturing process and packaging. The boxes containing their tea is made from 100% recycled paperboard from 100% post-consumer waste--they assert that by using such packaging materials they save 2,040 trees, reduce landfill by 131,200, and prevent 184,000 greenhouse emissions. Numi uses only 100% natural ingredients without added oils or "natural flavorings". |
