When the English need a wake up call, they turn to the rich flavors and strong aroma of black tea. Black teas are allowed to oxidize more than any other kind of tea, which creates their uniquely strong flavors. With their touches of malty flavor, full body and sweet undertones of rich fruit, our English Breakfast Tea is especially crafted to blend well with milk and sugar. This version of English Breakfast Tea is from the Assam region of India. This blend has earned the high grade of Tippy Golden Flowering Orange Pekoe from tea exporters in India (in the United States, the term Orange Pekoe merely denotes generic brands), because of its fragrant whole leaves, including lots of powerful leaf tips! When steep for more than three minutes, our English Breakfast Tea has a beautiful dark red color and robust flavors with more sweetness than most other teas.
