English Breakfast – Classic Robust Black Tea BlendEnglish Breakfast is one of the world's most popular tea blends and an essential part of traditional British tea culture. Enjoying a blend of black teas at breakfast is a long-standing British custom, though, interestingly, the name "English breakfast tea" appears to have originated not in England but in America, as far back as Colonial times! It's our pleasure at Tealyra to bring you this premium-quality English Breakfast. Our blend brews up a robust, perfectly full-bodied cup. Smooth, malty mid-notes are balanced by a clean, crisp finish and a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. It's a true classic that's perfect at any time of day — not just breakfast. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItEnglish Breakfast is the reliable, comforting cup you'll reach for every morning. It's strong enough to wake you up and smooth enough to enjoy all day, with a balanced character that's delicious with or without milk. With a robust caffeine lift, it's the perfect alternative to your morning coffee.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it the classic British way with a splash of milk and a little sugar, or try it with a slice of lemon or a drizzle of honey. It pairs perfectly with a full breakfast, toast and marmalade, scones and cream, or your favorite biscuits. It also makes a great base for iced tea and homemade chai. A timeless classic for every tea cupboard, our English Breakfast is the perfect start to any day. |

A little steeping tipThe classic morning cup: steep 4–5 minutes and add milk. Drink it plain with a shorter steep.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
