The history of English Breakfast Tea dates back to the early 19th century in England. While the exact origins of this popular tea are somewhat shrouded in mystery, it is widely believed that it originated as an alternative to the then-common breakfast beverages such as ale and wine. Tea was imported from the British colonies and provided a refreshing and energizing alternative.
The traditional English Breakfast Tea was originally a blend of various Chinese black teas, but over the years and changing trade routes, the composition evolved into a combination of teas from India and Sri Lanka, as we know them today.
The popularity of English Breakfast Tea quickly spread around the world and it became an established part of British tea culture. Today, English Breakfast Tea is enjoyed all over the world and appreciated for its rich flavor and energizing properties.
Our English Blend pays homage to the rich history and refined taste of the traditional English Breakfast Tea. With a carefully curated blend of the finest ingredients, this tea offers exceptional quality and an unforgettable taste experience that you will want to rediscover again and again.
