Description
Black Keemun tea from the Anhui region of China. As its name implies, English Breakfast tea is an ideal accompaniment to a morning meal. Our exquisite version of this tea is made with the finest grade Keemun, prized for its rich smoky flavor, and sumptuous aroma. May be enjoyed plain or with a drop of milk. It remains one of our most popular varieties.
Story
The English required a tea strong enough to wash down their beloved Fry-up, a typical morning fare of fried bacon, sausage, mushroom, eggs and tomato. The black teas of Keemun were found to be an ideal lubricant for all this cholesterol. English Breakfast was also instrumental in the Monty Python spam sketch (waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam...) that gave annoying and unsolicited emails their nickname.
"This is a good basic black tea. Not my favorite, but it's ok."
"It just tasted like regular tea. Need more stronger."
"I prefer Irish breakfast to this one. Found this a little bitter."
"I bought this when the Irish Breakfast was out of stock and was disappointed. It has a flavor or scent that is reminiscent of Band-Aid. "
"Great morning tea. I found that it had a smokey taste but it was not bad at all."
"This one tastes a little off to me. Not sure why. I usually like a good English Breakfast tea..."
