English Breakfast- Loose Tea in Signature Tea Tin Description: Popularized by Queen Victoria, English Breakfast is a hearty black tea blend which is complemented by milk and sugar. Created by an American tea merchant in 1843, the blend originally used Chinese teas. Later blenders use tea from gardens across the British Empire, including Darjeeling and Assam (India), and British Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The British East India Company reintroduced and imported English Breakfast to America. This blend harkens back to the original blend and is a combination of teas from China, India and Sri Lanka.
