English Breakfast Tea Bulk

English Breakfast Tea is a classic black tea with full-bodied flavour and robust strength. It is traditionally drunk first of the day and gives a deep amber-red infusion with robust character that stands up to milk but is smooth and enjoyable when black.

Our English Breakfast is designed to be that familiar, comforting cup which has made this style of tea one of the world's favourites. Aroma is warm and malty and flavour has classic black tea depth with a light finish. It has strength for those who like a bold morning brew, but never gets too heavy or too assertive.

Served alongside Breakfast or simply whenever you fancy a cup of traditional black tea, breakfast is particularly versatile. It can be drunk plain (to "allow the character of the tea leaf to come through"), with a little milk or to taste. It can be brewed stronger if you prefer a more traditional English breakfast tea.

Brewing

Western: Take about a teaspoon per cup and brew with just boiled water for about 3 minutes. You can brew longer for a stronger cup. Add milk or sugar if desired.

Iced: For about 4-5 minutes brew at about double strength, cool, pour over ice. Serve plain, or with lemon.
