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.

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.

    Proper tea!

    Can’t fault this tea - the leaves are huge and nothing like I’ve experienced before, even with other brands of loose tea.

    Making a proper brew should be a ritual and this certainly ticks all the boxes - I love it :)

    Breakfast Tea

    I've long liked BT's breakfast tea - it's much lighter and tastier than your average bag of dust.

    Add a sprig of thyme or sage and you've got something really lovely.

    Hey Lindsay,

    We’re so glad you’ve been enjoying our English Breakfast, and we have to agree, a proper whole leaf brew makes all the difference compared to the usual bag of dust 😊 I also love your suggestion of adding a sprig of thyme or sage: that sounds wonderfully aromatic, and not something I’d thought of before.

    Cheers,
    Giuliana
