Unfortunately the guy who owned Chateau Rouge in England -- Sean -- went out of business during the pandemic lock-down triggered by the likely Wuhan lab leak. By that time I was purchasing tea from him directly, rather than via Amazon.com.

Once he retrieved his remaining tea bag inventory from Amazon.com, he sold the entire inventory to me. So I have about 40 packages of NOS Breakfast Blend No. 27.

Ron,

next time when in Munich try Dallmyar, the store s in the old center, near the main cathedral. They have great tea department, I can only recommend their products, may it be tea, coffee, chocolate or other food.

Hi Rob,

Thanks a lot for the recommendation of Dammann Freres The Noir Breakfast black tea. I just ordered 100g of loose leaf along with my 3 current favorite breakfast teas, Mariage Freres Marco Polo, Bolero, and Earl Grey (basic I know), and I can’t wait to try it! Have you considered replicating your long lost No.27 blend yourself? I’d certainly be up for a trip to the country of origin of these tea leaves (China?) and I have no doubt that we could find a way to recreate the process in what you believe to be the world’s best breakfast tea.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hello Stephen,

No; that never occurred to me. And I don't know the blend that Sean used to use.
