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.

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.
