English Breakfast - Black Tea 100 grams - Café du Jour Loose Tea

What is English Breakfast tea?

English Breakfast tea is a classic black tea blend with a robust, full-bodied character. It is one of the most well-known styles of morning tea in British tea culture. The blend is aromatic and bold, making it a natural choice for the start of the day.

A traditional morning tea

The name 'English Breakfast' reflects its long tradition as a tea served alongside a hearty morning meal. Its strong, warming flavour stands up well to milk and sugar, which is exactly how many tea drinkers enjoy it. Café du Jour offers this English Breakfast tea as a loose-leaf black tea, giving you full control over the strength of every cup.

Who is it suitable for?

How do you use English Breakfast tea?

Brewing loose-leaf English Breakfast tea is straightforward. You use a tea strainer, infuser or teapot with a built-in filter. A good starting point is one heaped teaspoon of loose tea per cup of freshly boiled water. Let it steep for three to five minutes, depending on how strong you like it.

• Steep for three minutes for a lighter cup, up to five minutes for a stronger brew
• Add a splash of milk after steeping for a classic English experience
• Adjust the amount of loose tea to suit your taste
• Store the tea in a sealed container away from light and moisture

The 100-gram pack gives you approximately 40 to 50 cups, depending on how much tea you use per serving. That makes it a practical choice for daily morning routines.
