Popularized by Queen Victoria, English Breakfast tea has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Originally crafted by an American tea merchant in 1843, this blend was designed to be a hearty morning beverage that could be enjoyed with breakfast. The original formulation utilized Chinese teas, but over time, the blend evolved to incorporate a variety of teas from across the British Empire, including renowned gardens in Darjeeling and Assam in India, as well as Ceylon in Sri Lanka.
Our English Breakfast Loose Tea offers a full-bodied flavor that is both invigorating and satisfying. The blend combines the boldness of Chinese black tea with the malty notes of Assam and the floral undertones of Darjeeling, creating a well-rounded cup that is perfect for any time of day. Whether you prefer it plain or with a splash of milk and sugar, this tea is sure to awaken your senses and provide a comforting experience.
Each 3oz package of our English Breakfast Loose Tea is hand-packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. in Charleston, South Carolina. We take pride in ensuring that our tea is sealed in a matte black signature tea tin, which not only preserves its freshness but also adds a touch of elegance to your tea collection. The tin is designed to keep your tea safe from moisture and light, ensuring that every cup you brew is as flavorful as the first.
To brew the perfect cup of English Breakfast tea, start by boiling fresh, filtered water. Use one teaspoon of loose tea per cup, and steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. For a traditional experience, serve with milk and sugar, or enjoy it plain to appreciate the full depth of flavors.
In addition to its delightful taste, English Breakfast tea offers several health benefits. Black tea is rich in antioxidants, which can help combat free radicals in the body. It may also support heart health, improve digestion, and enhance mental alertness. Enjoying a cup of this tea can be a wonderful way to start your day on a positive note.
Whether you're hosting a brunch, enjoying a quiet morning at home, or looking for a thoughtful gift, our English Breakfast Loose Tea is a versatile choice. Its timeless appeal makes it suitable for any occasion, and its rich flavor is sure to please both seasoned tea drinkers and newcomers alike.
