English Breakfast
Share
Strong black tea blend traditionally drunk at breakfast, often with milk.
English Breakfast is a blend, not a designation of origin. Black teas from Assam, Ceylon and Africa are common; each producer decides the exact composition.
The tea is full-bodied and strong so that it still tastes of tea with milk and sugar.
