Black Tea

Black tea is a type of tea that is more oxidized than green, oolong, and white teas, resulting in its dark color and high caffeine content. Black tea is appreciated by tea enthusiasts around the world for its bold flavor, energizing properties, and versatility in both traditional and contemporary tea preparations. Enjoy it on its own or try it with a splash of milk!

Our Organic English Breakfast is a classic full-bodied black tea, crafted from organic Assam and Ceylon leaves for a robust, malty cup with subtle caramel notes.

This blend is versatile: it shines as a morning staple alongside buttered toast, eggs, or a full English breakfast, and it also makes a refreshing iced brew. Many customers tell us they reach for it every day, hot or cold, and some even use it as a base for home-brewed kombucha. If you like a dependable, characterful black tea that performs well with or without milk, this one is a favorite. Organic English Breakfast is a straightforward, satisfying choice for anyone who wants a hearty, traditional breakfast tea with consistent flavor and quality.
