English Breakfast Tea – Bold, Organic Black Tea | Synergy Herbal Works

A traditional blend of black teas that is characterized by its full-bodies and robust flavor. A popular choice for breakfast served with milk and honey or sugar.  Originated in the 19th century, gaining popularity in Britian due to Queen Victoria's fondness for it after a visit to Scotland.

Flavor Profile

The flavor of English breakfast tea is malty, rich, and invigorating, with a reddish-brown hue. The blend's complexity comes from the combination of different black teas, each contributing unique notes:

• Assam: Provides a strong, malty character.

• Ceylon: Adds a bright, crisp note.

• Kenyan Tea: Contributes depth and smoothness

Brewing the Perfect Cup

To brew a perfect cup of English breakfast tea, follow these steps:

1. Use fresh, cold water: The quality of water affects the tea's flavor. Avoid stale or distilled water.

2. Heat the water: Bring the water to a rolling boil, as English breakfast tea requires high temperatures for optimal extraction.

3. Warm your teapot or mug: Swirl hot water in your teapot or mug to keep the tea hot longer.

4. Add tea leaves or bags: Use one teaspoon of looseleaf tea per cup or one tea bag per cup. For stronger tea, add more leaves instead of steeping longer.

5.  Steep: Pour boiling water over the tea and let it steep for about 3-5 minute, depending on your taste preference.
