I found that the loaf was a bit too sweet for me. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This British tea loaf is a delightful treat. The texture is moist and dense, with a lovely crumb. The flavor is perfectly balanced, with a hint of sweetness from the sugar and a touch of spice from the cinnamon.
