What is English Breakfast Tea? Despite its name, the first English Breakfast Tea was created in New York in the nineteenth century. An article in the trade magazine "Journal of Commerce" explains how Richard Davies, an English apothecary from Hull, founded a small tea company in New York and, in 1843, made a new mix of teas using China Congou, Flowery Pekoe, and Pouchong. He called it English Breakfast and sold it at 50 cents per pound. The public apparently loved it and as demand grew, other retailers created their own version of this now world-famous blend.
We use only robust Keemun tea from Anhui Province for our English Breakfast.

Excellent value for an everyday tea

I have to declare myself as a pretty serious tea snob. It's not my fault. Through different circumstances, I've been turned on to some amazingly high-quality black, green, and other fermentations. This tea, while not "exquisitely complex & delicate", is very tasty — definitely has a little chocolate and earthiness coming through. It's a great value as an "everyday" black tea. If I had a druther machine, I would dial up pots of Hao Ya A, or Golden Monkey every morning, along with the bags of cash necessary to support such indulgences. I'd rank this tea close to a good Hao Ya B — maybe even indistinguishable from one — and at a fraction of the price. I've already re-ordered, and will be doing so again.

If you like Keemun in your breakfast tea, this makes a great cup of tea. Different than many English Breakfasts, with it's very clear Keemun influence.

Brews a good strong cup of tea with distinct Keemun taste. Not as "strongly Keemun" as some other Keemun teas that I've tried.
Definitely better than Roland Keemun Black Tea/Canister that I have also bought recently
