English
Breakfast tea, according to legend, started out as an
offering of simple congou tea, quite possibly evolving
into a specific selection of Keemun tea. Over time,
particularly when the British left China for India,
the exact source or blend of tea(s) in English
Breakfast tea has changed. Historically, many
traditional tea blenders have used a China Black tea
as a base for a modern blend of English Breakfast tea.
Our signature blend of English Breakfast has not
changed for over 20 years - why rock the boat! When we
blend our English Breakfast tea we start with a
generous portion of Keemun tea and add to it several
other of our exquisite Black teas to craft the blend
to a style: that of a brisk, sprightly tea that is
best drunk neat but will accept a small portion of
milk or cream.
We sell a tremendous amount of our Engliish Breakfast
tea; it has enthusiastic fans all over the country.
