English Breakfast Tea

Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars

The one that started it all. Our classic English Breakfast. It's exactly how a real cup of tea should taste. A perfectly balanced, malty classic. The tasty richness of Indian Assam coupled with a light, fresh Ceylon. Rolled Whole Leaves. No Dust.
Strong & Malty
Try our English Breakfast with a really good milk chocolate to really bring out the sweeter caramel notes.

How To Brew

How to Brew

1 Scoop
100° Boiling Water
3-5 Minutes
400ml is perfect for 5g of loose leaf tea. If you're using a tea bag, 300ml is bang on. Brewing this one is all about finding just how you like it. Try brewing for 3-4 minutes black, or 4-5 minutes with milk.

Brewing Tip

Your tea will start tasting bitter if it’s left to brew for too long so if you fancy a stronger cup, add some more tea leaves.
Ingredients

Ingredients

Assam & Ceylon Black Tea

Origins

    Just the best.

    We sort of stumbled across Brew Tea Co. at a local shop and were instantly hooked. A monthly subscription soon followed accompanied by one of the glass pots (don't get me started on why they are such an integral part of the perfect cup). The tea - fantastic, the team - amazing and so helpful. The Brew Tea Co experience - just the best! Thanks for making the day that bit better.

    Really good tea from a great firm

    We have regular subscriptions for both the English Breakfast and Assam loose leaf tea. Not only is it consistently first rate but in a recent order when something was out of stock Brew Tea Co were more than generous in what was sent in place and done so entirely unilaterally as well. There are not many businesses out there these days that pride themselves on customer service. My goodness, Brew Tea Co certainly do if our experience is anything to go by. We happily buy all our loose leaf teas from them now. Thank you.

    Awesome Tea

    Tried Brew Tea Co English Breakfast at the start of a conference, and went online and bought a box at lunch! It was that good. Great story, great taste, great quality.
