Description
This special premium blend includes “tippy” (meaning younger, higher-quality leaf “tips” and buds) leaves from Assam and Yunnan provinces, on either side of the great Himalaya mountains. It has a lighter color and a lighter aroma, but inhale deeply and you will feel pleasantly warmed by the malty nutty nose. Take a sip for a classic taste – sweet and malty, flavors of caramel and croissants. This strong tea will make you feel ready to climb a mountain!
English Breakfast Tea is that ubiquitous milk-and-sugar biscuits-on-the-side tea time treat. But it was actually Americans who came up with that name – in England it is just called “tea” and they drink it at all times of the day. Most often composed of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas, English Breakfast tea is a robust blend popular in England for centuries.
This premium tea is nuanced enough to merit sipping unadulterated, but it is truly at its best with milk and a little sugar (and biscuits on the side, of course). Its bold flavors stand strong and crisp even with nut milks, honey, or other additives.

One of the best breakfast black teas I’ve had. The kind you go, mmmmm, in the morning as it’s just right. Can be made strong and bold, i use a higher temp.
