Freshly Packed to Order

Our teas are carefully packed to order to preserve aroma, freshness, and flavour

Offering up more delicate flavours than standard English Breakfast tea, our Superior English Breakfast is a large leaf tea made from a wonderful blend of Ceylon, Assam and East African teas and goes perfectly with milk and sugar, making it ideal when prepared first thing in the morning.

This blend brings together the best qualities from each tea to create a well-rounded, full-flavoured beverage: Assam tea offers a characteristic maltiness and strong, bold flavours, while Ceylon brings subtle sweetness and a lovely crisp bitterness.

The traditional English Breakfast tea blend is believed to have originated in the United Kingdom, but it is now popular in many countries around the world. English Breakfast teas are usually strong, robust and full-bodied, offering rich and malty flavours and a lovely bright, copper colour when brewed. With a good amount of caffeine, English Breakfast teas are ideal to be enjoyed first thing in the morning and, as they are rich in antioxidants, they have been said to have a positive effect on heart health.

Loose leaf breakfast tea praised for excellent flavour and large leaves. Customers said it's "just right" for starting the day, with a "well balanced taste." Most find it flavoursome and refreshing, though some note it's milder than expected or lacks the strength they prefer. Quality blend that "goes further" than regular tea bags.

I have bought this tea very many times and it has always been our favourite. However this batch has lacked the fullness of flavour that we have previously enjoyed.

Excellent flavour

Loving loose leaf tea as we do we are very pleased with this brew. It is the right balance of flavour and strength for the first cup (or two) of the day.

Not So Superior

I’m disappointed in this tea as I find it bland . Perhaps it’s because I was brought up on ‘builders’ tea —- strong and rich brown in colour .

This tea is just what I've been looking for. It's to replace the supermarket 'specials' that are OK, but leave dust in the bottom of your cup or mug

Great taste. You can definitely taste the difference between this and regular tea. Great with a very small dash of milk. Size is good for a few weeks, but I'll definitely order a bigger one next time.

Flavoursome tea

The Superior English Breakfast tea blend is absolutely flavoursome, the best tea we’ve had in ages. The leaves are large and the tea goes further. So the size of the packets last. Not had chance to try the other flavours yet.
