What is English Breakfast Tea?<\/h3>\n

English Breakfast tea<\/a> is a boldly flavoured blend of black teas. It’s quite strongly caffeinated and ideal for the morning, although just as delicious any time of day.<\/p>\n

The blend of black teas in English Breakfast usually comes from Assam in India<\/a> and Ceylon in Sri Lanka. A blend might feature leaves from other parts of India and parts of Africa, China, and Indonesia, too. Because there’s no one supreme Breakfast Tea blend! Each one is differently flavoured and deliciously unique!<\/p>\n

Sooo\u2026 What is Black Tea?<\/h3>\n

Black tea is one of those things we hear about but never really understand, right? And, us Brits being so<\/em> impeccably polite, don’t like to ask.<\/p>\n

Wonder no longer! Let’s find out what black tea actually is. You can pretend you knew all this already, if you like. We won’t tell.<\/p>\n

So, black tea leaves start off life growing on the Camellia Sinensis<\/em> plant. This is the same as green and white tea \u2013 the tea leaves could become any tea at this point. They’re full of potential, bless ’em.<\/p>\n
