Description

Our organic loose leaf English Breakfast Tea is a bold, malty black tea with toasted grain notes, gentle caramel sweetness and a brisk finish. Brew it for a full-bodied morning cup, enjoyed plain or with milk and your preferred sweetener.

  • Size: 1 oz of loose leaf tea.
  • Ingredient: Organic black tea.
  • Caffeine: Contains caffeine.
  • Brew: Use 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz of water at 200–212°F. Steep for 3–5 minutes, then strain.

Start with a shorter steep for a smoother cup; steep longer for a stronger brew that stands up to milk. Compare our Ceylon Black Tea, or check shipping and returns before ordering.

What Is English Breakfast Tea?

English Breakfast is a style of black tea made to be strong enough for the first cup of the day and to hold up to milk. Traditionally it is a blend of robust black teas; ours is organic black tea chosen for that same malty, full-bodied character, so it brews a bold cup from the first scoop to the last.

How Much Caffeine Is in English Breakfast Tea?

A typical 8 oz cup of black tea like English Breakfast contains roughly 40–70 mg of caffeine, about half of what a similar cup of brewed coffee has. The exact amount depends on how much tea you use and how long you steep it: a 3-minute steep gives a gentler cup, while 5 minutes pulls more caffeine and more body. If you are sensitive to caffeine, enjoy it in the morning and switch to our caffeine-free herbal teas later in the day.

How To Make English Breakfast Tea With Milk

  1. Heat fresh water to a full boil (about 212°F).
  2. Add 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz, or 2 if you take plenty of milk.
  3. Steep 4–5 minutes so the tea is strong enough to stand up to milk.
  4. Strain, then add milk and sweetener to taste. For iced tea, brew it double-strength and pour it over ice.

English Breakfast vs. Other Black Teas

  • English Breakfast – bold, malty and brisk; the all-rounder for milk and sugar.
  • Assam Black Tea – the maltiest and heaviest of the group, for a very strong cup.
  • Ceylon Black Tea – brighter and more citrusy, lovely plain or iced.
  • Earl Grey Creme – black tea with bergamot and vanilla for a softer, fragrant cup.
