Our English Breakfast highlights teas from Southeast Asia to create a uniquely bold yet smooth take on breakfast tea. We have spent years traveling and developing direct trade relationships in Thailand, Yunnan and Myanmar to source black teas from this amazing part of the world which is the botanical birthplace of the tea plant dating back thousands of years. The ancient broadleaf Assamica variety tea tree genetics of the teas grown in this region offer a unique depth of flavor not found in common breakfast teas. Our English Breakfast blend is designed to have the strength and body to stand up to milk and sugar, whereas our China Breakfast is intended to be more mellow, caramel-sweet and is designed to be smooth enough to enjoy straight.
