Buena Vida Tea’s English Breakfast is the perfect proper British tea. This tea’s vigorous, spicy, tannic and astringent taste profile is well suited to a generous splash of milk. True tea aficionados will discern different layers of flavor profiles – from honey, malt, cedar and tobacco to vanilla, pear, cinnamon and green apple.

Queen Victoria popularized this tea in the late 1800s after first sampling it while on holiday at Balmoral. She so enjoyed ​full-bodied, robust, rich flavor that she brought the tea back with her when she returned to England. Although breakfast may be in its name, English Breakfast tea can be served at any point in the day. The perfect “cuppa” to start your day or a lovely afternoon treat – especially when paired with bleu cheese, scones, and afternoon tea sandwiches.

When brewing your pot of English Breakfast tea you will want to take special care to follow the brewing guidelines to achieve the characteristic coppery golden liquor. Overbrewing this tea will lead to a distinctly bitter flavor.
