Black tea | Medium caffeine Introducing Bird & Blend's Builder's Brew (BBB! also known as Triple B.), our strongest breakfast tea. Fantastic with your fry up, perfect with a cheeky sausage roll (vegan or not!) and suitable for shaking the frost off those brisk British northern mornings. This blend of CTC (cut, tear, curl) leaves creates a cup that packs a palatable punch, which so many people enjoy! This tea is one of a smaller selection of our best selling blends that also come in luxury, pyramid tea bags. Shop our teabag range here.
