How to Brew 

You can discover our in depth black tea brewing guide to learn how to brew the perfect cup of tea. Use these quick steps to brew the perfect cup: 

• Use 1 triune teabag per cup 
• 200ml of freshly boiled water (100°C) 
• Steep 3 to 5 minutes 
• Enjoy black or with milk 

For a teapot, use one teabag per cup of water, plus one extra teabag for the pot. A standard 600 ml to 1 litre teapot usually requires 3 to 5 teabags for a balanced, full flavoured infusion. 

For a stronger cup, with this high caffeine tea, brew for a minute longer. For a lighter cup, simply shorten the steeping time. Feel free to experiment to find the balance that makes your perfect cup. 

Why Choose This Tea 

• Premium Sri Lankan provenance from Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya
• High grown Ceylon leaves for clarity, brightness and depth
• Small batch blended for consistency
• Teabag convenience with loose leaf calibre flavour
• Perfect for breakfast, focus and refined everyday drinking 

Production and Leaf Grades 

This blend uses carefully selected BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) and FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe) leaf grades. These leaves undergo the full orthodox process of withering, rolling, controlled oxidation and drying. This traditional method develops the tea’s rich aroma, warm caramel notes and distinctive copper hue that characterises premium Ceylon teas. 

Wellbeing and Potential Health Benefits 

As a classic black tea, English Breakfast offers a natural source of polyphenol antioxidants. Many tea drinkers enjoy it as a gentler alternative to coffee since it provides a balanced caffeine lift, steady focus and soothing flavour as part of a healthy lifestyle. 

Origin and Craftsmanship 

This distinguished blend is sourced from high altitude Sri Lankan gardens reaching up to 1,868 metres in Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya. The cool, misty climate places gentle stress on the tea plants, intensifying aroma and flavour. 

Every batch is selected for balance and harmony, then blended with care. The leaves unfurl beautifully during steeping, releasing layered aromatics that stand far above standard supermarket English Breakfast teabags.
