Details
English Breakfast tea is actually a blend of various kinds of black tea; particularly Assam, Ceylon, Kenyan, and Keemun. The Assam is malty and bitter, the Ceylon piney and sour, the Kenyan fruity and floral, and Keemun citric and smoky. Together these teas combine into one with layers of flavor. It’s a Rorschac test of tea, if you will, as everyone tastes something completely different.
If you’re a new tea drinker who is used to coffee (or plan on converting a bean-drinker to the way of the leaf) then this is a fantastic starter tea. It has the robustness of black coffee, and takes to cream and sugar just as well. In addition, loose English breakfast black tea has plenty of antioxidants as well as caffeine to help you start the day.
