English Breakfast
Blend
The reliable friend. Full-bodied, malty, perfect with milk. Some mornings, this is all you need.
The Story
English Breakfast isn't English at all—it's typically a blend of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas, designed to be robust enough for milk and bracing enough for early mornings. Every tea company has its own recipe, but the goal is always the same: a dependable cup that starts the day right.

Brewing Tips
English Breakfast is meant to be strong—don't baby it. Milk softens the tannins and adds body; sugar is traditional but optional. Make it the same way every morning and let ritual work its magic.
