Story

Legend has it that English Breakfast Tea, a beloved blend worldwide, originated from a fortuitous mistake by British tea merchant Richard Davies in the early 19th century. When his supply of China Congou ran out, Davies blended various Indian and Sri Lankan black teas, creating a robust and flavorful concoction that became an instant hit, especially with hearty English breakfasts. Dubbed "English Breakfast Tea," this blend quickly gained popularity, symbolizing the essence of a traditional English morning.

Another attribution links the blend to a Scottish tea master named Drysdale, who marketed it as Breakfast Tea. Queen Victoria, encountering this blend and being fond of all things Scottish, gave it her royal approval. With the Queen's endorsement, the blend acquired the name "English Breakfast tea," solidifying its place in history.

Over time, the blend evolved to include Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas, yet it remains a timeless classic, cherished for its comforting aroma, bold flavor, and enduring tradition in tea culture globally.

YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

Where is the English Breakfast tea offered by Teabox sourced from ?

The English Breakfast tea offered by us at Teabox is a blend that combines whole-leaf Assams sourced from esteemed tea estates in the Assam region.

How is your English Breakfast different from other tea brands ?

1. We use only whole-leaf orthodox grades in crafting this blend rather than dust or fannings. This ensures a richer and more nuanced flavor profile in every cup.
2. Additionally, we source our base teas solely from top-tier tea estates in Assam, renowned for producing exceptional quality teas.

Can English Breakfast tea be enjoyed with milk and sugar?

Yes, English Breakfast tea is traditionally enjoyed with milk and sugar.

Is English Breakfast tea caffeinated?

English Breakfast tea is caffeinated, as is typical for traditional black teas.

With 40 to 70 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce cup), the actual levels may differ based on individual steeping preferences.

What is the best way to steep a perfect cup of English Breakfast tea?

1. Start by heating fresh, cold water to a temperature between 185-194¡F(85-90¡C)
2. Utilize approximately 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of loose tea leaves per 6 ounces (180 ml) of water in a teapot or tea infuser, ensuring optimal leaf expansion.
3. Steep the tea for 4-5 minutes, adjust it based on your desired strength.
4. Strain and enjoy sipping.

Can you suggest some food pairings with this tea ?

Enjoy it with freshly baked pastries like croissants or scones for a delightful morning treat, or pair it with a cheese platter featuring cheddar or brie for a savory contrast.

Classic breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, and toast complement the tea's robust flavor, while fresh fruit, especially berries or a fruit salad, adds a touch of sweetness.

For heartier fare, consider pairing it with grilled meats, as the tea's boldness stands up to smoky grilled notes.

The true taste of tea

Every tea company makes claims about their teas that are in my opinion, only half truths. Now this Teabox English Breakfast? The description is spot on. I note the smoke and the malt. This will now be my go to breakfast tea. My work mates are used to grocery store tea bags, but I have convinced them that quality tea really does have flavor.

One of the best English Breakfast Tea

Definitely one of the best English Breakfast teas I've had. The perfect aroma, taste, and colour everytime. Can be seeped twice, however the taste is a but milder the second time.

Perfect present

My parents love drinking tea - so I got them some of these luxury teas - and they both really appreciate and notice the difference in quality.

Not very much flavour

Sadly, I find that the teabags do not provide much flavour even when seeped per instructions. I am using 2 bags per cup, so rather an investment🤦🏽‍♀️

A classic!

The classic blend done right. Delicious cup of tea.

Oh so English!!

As a first time user of English Breakfast Tea, I tried to set my expectations low. Turns out I didn’t have to worry as the tea is simply splendid and I’m a fan!! I’ve tried the assorted versions of herbal tea and the natural taste is sooooooo good. Thank you Tea Box for bringing us these flavours :)

Even better than expected

Delighted by the quality, freshness and wonderful flavour. Best tea I’ve ever had, and I lived in London for 4 years. Nothing like it available locally.

Best tea ever

I’ve never been passionate about tea but after trying this English breakfast tea I’m addicted. It’s the perfect tea for a break time, so sweet that it doesn’t need sugar!

I can actually…

See the leaves and taste the tea. Excellent product

Shipping time is unbelievable!

I can’t believe how fast I got my order! Seriously, I had to buy my family tea samples so they can see that this is the best tea since my English grandmother’s.
