About This Blend

When tea replaced ale as the breakfast beverage of choice in England, unblended China Keemun took center stage. Honoring this tradition, our connoisseur-grade English Breakfast tea features predominantly Keemun summer harvests, celebrated for their biscuity palate, artfully blended with a touch of Ceylon to add nuance and a polished finish.

Perfect on its own or with a splash of milk, this "classic cup" pairs beautifully with rich desserts like cheesecake or chocolate cake, as well as a selection of fine cheeses. A timeless choice for any occasion.

Since 1994, our Master Blenders have made annual iterations to this trademark recipe, each year in homage to this iconic classic.
