English Breakfast Loose Leaf Black Tea 

FLAVOR PROFILE
The flavor of English breakfast tea is notably stronger than that of green teas. Hearty, brisk, and bright brew with hints of sweetness.

BREW - TEA & HAMMOCK TIPS
To prepare English breakfast tea effectively:

Heat water to between 205°F and 210°F (approximately 96°C to 99°C). Steep 1 tsp tea per 8oz of water for 3 minutes. You can infuse the tea 1-3 times. Add milk of choice and sugar according to personal taste preferences.

This preparation method enhances the rich flavors characteristic of this type of black tea and clings to its English tradition.

ORIGIN
English breakfast tea is a traditional blend of black teas that primarily includes varieties from Assam, Ceylon, and Kenya. This tea is characterized by its full-bodied flavor profile, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy a strong cup of tea, especially when paired with milk and sugar.

The origins of English breakfast tea are somewhat ambiguous, with various accounts tracing its roots back to British and Irish customs of drinking black tea blends during breakfast. The term “breakfast tea” has been used by vendors since at least the late 18th century.

In the UK, Queen Victoria played a significant role in popularizing breakfast tea after she enjoyed a specific blend at her Scottish residence in Balmoral in 1892. Despite its Scottish origins, this blend became known as “English breakfast tea.”
