12 years and still brewing Edinburgh.

I enjoy settling down with a Highland mystery by Scottish author A.D. Scott and a steaming mug with a smidge of sheep milk. Something satisfying about drinking a tea that’s actually blended in Scotland.Not cranked out like some of the big generic tea blends are.The Ceylon gives a clean fresh start followed by a good Kenyan flavor. Definitely not a one tone flavor tea.Never considered a Monty Python act of counting how many tea granules are in a tea bag.Then I’ve never felt cheated by Brodie’s tea blends.Always taste as if tradition and time are put into there blends.If you want a enhance flavor then there’s the loose Edinburgh blend.Get a box of tea bags.Fill one up to the amount you like.Will say my taste buds really miss the Edinburgh Tattoo blend.What a grand flavor.Regret not stocking up.Thank you Teadog for the wide variety of blends to allow us a broad taste of teas.Instead of a narrow variety. Great professional,friendly service!Tah
