What is Black Tea?
Black tea is one of the most popular types of tea around the world. It’s made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which are fully oxidized to give the tea its dark color and rich flavour. Compared to green or white tea, black tea has a stronger taste and higher caffeine content, making it an excellent option for a morning energy boost.
Why Start with English Breakfast Tea?
English Breakfast tea is a well-known blend of black teas, typically from regions like Assam in India, Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), and Kenya. This blend is celebrated for its full-bodied, malty flavor with subtle hints of sweetness and a pleasant, slightly dry finish. It’s called "breakfast tea" because it pairs perfectly with a hearty breakfast, but you can enjoy it any time of day!
