English Breakfast loose leaf tea: our large leaf tea blend contains Assam, Ceylon and a little Darjeeling

These carefully chosen teas make our English Breakfast loose leaf tea a rich malty tea. It has some lightness due to the addition of Darjeeling teas and is ideal as an accompaniment to a traditional English breakfast yet it is not a 'builder's tea'. A great way to start the day and keep you sustained during the morning. Once you have had this superior English breakfast loose tea you will not want another! Use one teaspoon per cup and one for the pot with freshly boiling water and infuse for three minutes.

"English breakfast "my get out of bed brew. Can't do anything until I have had two large mugs. Why anyone would use tea bags is beyond me."
Really nice cup of tea "A great all-rounder, and not just for breakfast."
"One of the best English Breakfast blends I ever tried."
A family favourite "This is the tea I offer at family get togethers. it is middle-of-the-road in terms of flavour: not so malty as Assam Harmuty [which is my favourite all-day tea] and less delicate than Nepal Kathmandu [brilliant early morning tea] or Darjeeling. It is also strong, bright and refreshing - the best English Breakfast blend"
A tea to look forward to! "After trying this tea (and becoming familiar with it) for several months, we really do enjoy it. It has just the right weight and blend for the morning - especially the first cup of the day, which we always look forward to. We missed it when we ran out - so we won't let that happen again!"
Delicious at all times of the day. "Excellent blend full of flavour and good for any time of day."
Excellent Breakfast Tea "This provides the perfect first cup of the day - enough body to wake you up but not overbearing. Also delicious at any other time of day."
Breakfast is ready! "A nice accompaniment to my cooked vegetarian breakfast."
Good breakfast tea. "Literally it does what it says on the tin, a good interesting breakfast tea. Good flavour but not overpowering. Much better than any mass commercial brands that I have tasted."
Interesting and enjoyable "A personal favourite - easy and interesting to drink."

Tea from Grey's Teas

All our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.

Sourcing our tea

This English Breakfast loose tea has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.

The benefits of loose leaf tea

This loose leaf tea enables the full flavour characteristics of the tea to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!
