It is still dark when the tea pickers awake. Reluctantly, I join them outside, missing my bed. While they prepare for the day, a steaming pot of tea circulates. The cup warms my hands as the tea revives my spirit. Sunrise is greeted with a cheer, and so a new day begins.

The British have always enjoyed a robust tea to wake themselves up in the morning. In this vein, English Breakfast blends have always consisted of teas that give off a rich flavour and produce a dark, coppery colour. This blend provides the traditional strength of the tea characteristic of high-quality, organic tea leaves, and the rich earthiness is delicious with or without milk!
