English Breakfast Tea Black Tea Leaf Blend 1000 grams

English Breakfast Tea is an aromatic and very popular black tea blend known for its full-bodied taste and invigorating effect. An integral part of English tea culture, this traditional blend consists of Assam, Ceylon, South Indian and Kenyan teas, which together produce this balanced and highly aromatic tea. Its taste is spicy, strong and stimulating, with a slightly floral undertone. In the cup, the tea appears in a stately reddish brown color. English Breakfast Tea is one of the most popular tea blends worldwide and is also very popular in German-speaking countries. History and origin of the name The origins of English Breakfast Tea are not clear. One version says that the mixture was created in New York in the 1840s by a British immigrant named Richard Davies. Another source locates the origin in Scotland around 1892, where the tea was initially simply called "Breakfast Tea". Its popularity increased after Queen Victoria tasted it at Balmoral Castle and brought it back to England. Special features English Breakfast Tea is characterized by its strong, characterful, often malty taste; compared to other types of tea, it appears particularly strong and full-bodied. Its caffeine content is generally higher than other black teas, which contributes to its invigorating effect and makes it ideal for morning consumption. Traditionally, it is designed to be drunk with milk and sugar as part of a hearty English breakfast. It also goes perfectly with afternoon tea, perhaps with a delicious piece of cake! Preparation for a powerful start to the day For the perfect cup of English Breakfast Tea we recommend: Put about 14 g of tea leaves per litre into the pot. Brew with fresh, boiling water. Let the tea brew for 3-5 minutes, depending on the desired strength. A second and third infusion is easily possible.
