English Breakfast - Black Tea 100 grams - Café du Jour Loose Tea

What is English Breakfast tea?

English Breakfast tea is a classic black tea blend known for its strong, full-bodied character and rich aroma. It has been a staple of the morning routine for generations of tea lovers. The Café du Jour English Breakfast loose tea delivers that bold, aromatic flavour in every cup.

A strong and aromatic black tea

This loose-leaf black tea has a robust profile that stands up well to milk. The flavour is deep and warming, making it a natural choice for breakfast or any moment in the day when you want a satisfying cup. Because it comes as loose tea, you get more control over the strength of your brew.

English Breakfast tea vs Earl Grey

English Breakfast tea is a pure black tea blend, while Earl Grey is a black tea flavoured with bergamot oil. If you prefer a straightforward, bold cup without added flavourings, English Breakfast is the natural choice. Earl Grey has a floral, citrus note that sets it apart from the clean strength of a breakfast tea.

This English Breakfast loose tea suits anyone who enjoys a strong, full-bodied cup of black tea. It is a great daily tea for those who like their morning brew with a splash of milk, just as tradition suggests.
