English Breakfast

English Breakfast

 There are many versions of English Breakfast tea. Harney & Sons has an ancient pedigree. Researchers have traced its heritage back to the black tea the English drank regularly in the 1800's. It is, simply, China Black 100% Keemun. 


Ingredients: 

Black tea

There is a toasty aroma.


Flavors:

Straightforward and mellow with hints of toast and honey. Strong and simple.

English Breakfast

English Breakfast

 This tea recalls a time when the teas came from Assam, not Africa, and were small broken leaves, not CTC pellets. So this is a simple tea that can handle milk and sugar well. 100% Assam. 


Ingredients: 

Black tea


Aroma:

This has some of the malty aromas found in other Assams. However, since it is a smaller tea and there are no tips, the aromas seem to be muted.


Flavor: 

 This is usually served with milk and sugar, so the flavors harmonize well with them. There are subtle notes of roast malt. 

 
Body:

Full-bodied. This has very good body. It is usually served with milk. Of course, the Irish would have it no other way. 


 Caffeine Level:

Caffeinated

Aroma: 

 The lemony aroma of bergamot from Italy comes through clearly.
