English Breakfast tea is a classic black tea blend crafted from a selection of robust leaves, traditionally Assam, Chinese, Ceylon and Kenyan teas. Known for its bold, full-bodied flavour with subtle malty notes, it delivers a rich and satisfying cup that stands up well to milk and sugar. This blend is traditionally enjoyed in the morning or throughout the day as a reliable everyday tea. It pairs beautifully with breakfast foods and afternoon snacks, making it a versatile choice for any time you need a comforting, energising brew.

Loose leaf tea is often more flavourful and aromatic because it contains larger, better-quality leaves rather than fine tea dust. It also gives you more control over strength and brewing time.

Start with 1 teaspoon (around 2–3g) of loose leaf per cup of water. Brew at 100°C for 3–5 minutes, depending on how strong you like it. Use a little more tea if you prefer a bolder flavour, or steep for an extra minute or two. English Breakfast is forgiving — adjust to taste.

Yes. English Breakfast is a black tea and contains caffeine naturally. The exact amount depends on how much leaf you use, water temperature, and how long you steep it. A typical cup brewed for 3–5 minutes with one teaspoon of loose leaf contains roughly 40–70mg of caffeine. For context, that's about half the caffeine of a standard cup of coffee, making English Breakfast a gentler option if you're looking to reduce your intake while still enjoying a morning boost.

Typically around 35–50 cups, depending on how much leaf you use and how strong you brew it.

English Breakfast tea is usually bold, malty, smooth and brisk, with a satisfying finish. It’s classic, comforting, and easy to drink daily.
