Pure black tea is either single source variety or a blend of different teas. They are all unflavored with no other ingredients. Each of these teas has a wide range of styles and origin. Stronger teas are usually the Assamica variety - those from Indian and Africa. Assam and Darjeeling are some of the famous growing regions Ceylon teas are known for their bright, piquant characteristics. The Chinese varieties (Camelia) vary widely. They aren't as strong as their Indian counterparts, but have distinctive flavor notes not found in other black teas. We recommend sampling different varieties to get a feel for the different styles.
Keemun is one of the original teas from China that was highly sought after by British traders. Its flavorful leaves brew a toasty, full-bodied cup with complexity similar to wine. It has a long shelf life and even becomes more smooth and mellow with time. You can enjoy it either straight as it is preferred in China, or with a bit of milk and sugar like the British.
The English and the Irish have their blends - so we couldn't leave out the Scottish! This blend consists of Assam and Nigiliri from India, Keemun from China and Ceylon Orange Pekoe. Like all quality breakfast teas, our Scottish Breakfast is strong and robust. Give it a wee splash of milk to highlight it's malty, cask-oak character.
