Your Frequently Asked Questions About English Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea.

Deep dive into the common loose tea questions

No.1 English Breakfast is a classic British blend crafted from premium black tea leaves. Carefully selected for consistent quality and flavour, this traditional breakfast tea delivers the authentic taste that has made English Breakfast Britain's favourite morning brew.

This is the tea that gets the day started. Bright, brisk Ceylon brings a lively, golden character to the cup while malty Assam adds depth, body, and that satisfying fullness that makes you want a second one. It brews up a rich, deep amber — strong enough to take milk, smooth enough to drink without. Straightforward and exactly what a great cup of tea should be.

Brewing loose leaf means every cup is fresher than anything from a bag. Steep for 3 minutes for a lighter cup, 5 for something more robust. Lovely with milk and a splash of cold water to bring the temperature down. The high quality tea leaves in this English Breakfast tea unfurl during brewing to release a fuller flavour and aroma, producing a far better cup of tea than tea bags.

Flavour - Rich, malty & smooth
