Description

English Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea

English breakfast tea is a traditional blend of teas originating from Assam, Ceylon, and Kenya. It is one of the most popular blended teas in British tea culture.

Accounts of its origins vary. Drinking a blend of black teas for breakfast is a longstanding British custom. The practice of referring to such a blend as "English breakfast tea" appears to have originated not in England but America, as far back as Colonial times.

Accounts of the emergence of the blend in the UK give its origins in fact in Scotland, where it was initially known simply as "breakfast tea". It was popularised by Queen Victoria, having returned to London with a supply after tasting the tea at Balmoral in 1892 and, despite the Scottish origin, it subsequently acquired the prefix "English”.

The Putharjhora Tea Garden

This English Breakfast tea originates from the Putharjhora tea garden in a region of India serving as a gateway to Northeast India and Bhutan.

The garden was rescued by the current owners after years of neglect and bad agricultural practices. The community was suffering from low wages, bad treatment and excessive exposure to harmful pesticides widely used on non-organic tea estates.

Now the estate is a beacon of hope in the area - the estate workers are empowered to make decisions, are no longer exposed to chemicals and benefit from a Fairtrade partnership with the management. A more natural ecological balance has recovered and the flora and fauna on the estate is rich.

The composting of materials on the estate to provide nutrients to the tea bushes is fantastic and is a shining example of how organic systems really work on a large scale.

Light on colour but great taste to me

English breakfast tea is so subjective to the English individual taste. Ask 100 English they can give you 100 different preferences. Some people judge the tea based on its colour, if you are one of them, then this one might not be right for you. Its colour is on the light side and after adding in the milk, it is looking rather light on colour. The flour, however, work for us. If you prefer something strong, like Assam tea or Yorkshire black tea, this one will probably also too light for you. If you like something gentle, like Whittard English breakfast then this might be just right. If your preference for black tea is relatively wide and open-minded, this one is definitely worth a try.

Disappointing

We found it lacked depth of flavour and colour, sadly.
