English breakfast tea

Morning cuppa, strong

English breakfast tea is a robust blend of black teas, typically from Assam, Ceylon, and Kenya, designed to accompany a hearty morning meal.

The blend is strong enough to stand up to milk and sugar, with a full-bodied, malty flavor.

It remains one of the most popular tea varieties in Britain and former British colonies: I'll have a cup of English breakfast with milk.
