English Breakfast Black Tea, Organic Loose Leaf

Wildwomanonfire  
5 out of 5 stars

Item highlights

  • Materials: orange pekoe black, Camellia sinensis, English breakfast, loose leaf tea blend, darjeeling black tea

Seller's description

English Breakfast Tea is a delicious, traditional black tea. It is not limited to breakfast only. Enjoy this full-flavored tea with your morning routine, with breakfast, mid morning, or even as a late afternoon tea. Regardless, it pairs perfectly with almost any dessert or scrumptious treat.

All sizes are measured by weight in ounces. You will receive 1oz dried tea leaf. Typically, one ounce will make 10-15 cups of tea, depending on how strong you like it.
*All Contain caffeine, with the exception of Rooibos, which is an herb and not derived from the plant Camellia Sinensis

As the name implies, breakfast teas are brews enjoyed in the morning because of the robust, high caffeine kick they provide.

English Breakfast Tea is typically an unflavored blend of 3 different black teas from various locations around the world. Each one contains a unique combination of teas ranging from Assam, Darjeeling, and Ceylon as well as Kenyan black teas. English breakfast tea is a classic tea typically enjoyed at breakfast time. It contains enough caffeine for a bit of a “wake me up,” and is enjoyed by a wide range of people from all walks of life. As a bold black tea blend with a hint of spice, the flavor holds up very well when combined with milk and sugar, added according to preference.

English breakfast tea taste is between medium to full-bodied with a robust flavor. Various hints and notes are different in each brand of English breakfast tea because of the differences in the blend of black teas.
Many tea drinkers have described English breakfast tea as bitter, malty, roasty, with slight hints of floral, tannic, and even bland. When you add milk, it creates a honey-nut dimension making the tea much more sweet and palatable.

English breakfast tea wasn’t created in England but here in the U.S. in New York back in the 1800s. A small tea company was founded in 1843 by an English apothecary named Richard Davies. He created a unique blend of teas that included Flowery Pekoe, Pouchong, and China Congou and named it “English Breakfast.” Davies then sold this new tea for fifty cents a pound. The demand for his new tea became increasingly more and more popular. Other tea makers decidedly created their own take on this blend.

Your one stop tea shoppe!
“The journey of a thousand cups begins with a single sip” -Steve Schwartz

Enjoying the process of preparing your tea can be part of your daily ritual; taking a few moments to heighten your senses and enhance your tasting experience. Enjoy your tea and allow your taste buds to unfold the unique characteristics within your cup. Most teas can be re-steeped multiple times

Water temperature, the volume of tea leaves, and steeping time are all part of the art of brewing tea. Different compounds are extracted at different rates depending on water temperature and steeping time.
Green teas do better with shorter brewing times and lower water temperatures. Most green teas and greener oolong teas taste best when brewed at temperatures 30° - 40° F below boiling point (180° - 170°F).
Water temperature that is just below boiling (212°F) is ideal for black tea and oolong tea. Green tea is more delicate and requires a more delicate temperature.
Measure volume in weight instead of teaspoons for best results: 2 - 2.5  grams for a 6-ounce cup is ideal.

Hot tea brewing method:
1 teaspoon/6-8oz
Add heated water. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to tea and taste.

Iced tea brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Add milk, sugar according taste.

Tea was discovered in its greenest form over five thousand years ago.
For centuries, all tea was green tea. Green tea is simply the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant placed to steep in hot water. 
Black tea is the most popular tea in the world.
There are four types of true teas including white tea, green tea, oolong tea, and black tea.
All four types of true teas are derived from the same exact plant species – Camellia sinensis.
The difference in these teas arises during the production process. Some teas are oxidized while others are simply sun-dried. These minor differences result in big flavor and color differences.
China is the birthplace of black tea, which in China is called, perhaps more appropriately, hong cha – red tea – after its the red colored tea it usually produces.
Black tea is usually graded on one of four scales of quality. Whole-leaf teas are the highest quality, with the best whole-leaf teas graded as “orange pekoe.” After the whole-leaf teas, the scale degrades to broken leaves, fannings, then dusts.
Whole-leaf teas are produced with little or no alteration to the tea leaf. This results in a finished product with a coarser texture than that of bagged teas.

We hand make all of our products to order in small batches to ensure optimal freshness, consistency, and potency. Our products are not made to sit on store shelves for extended amounts of time. Dried tea blends can last many years if sealed in an airtight container, and stored correctly (in a cool, dry, and dark place.) UV light offers the biggest threat to dried herbs and tea leaves, as prolonged sun exposure can turn leaves pale and zap them of their potency, aroma, and taste. Tea and other dried herbs don’t go bad, but will lose potency over time. If you notice these characteristics, or if tea herbs have turned pale, scentless, and flavorless, it’s best to discard the product. Always store your natural botanicals in cool, dry, and dark places as light and heat can effect the product quality and potency.
