English Breakfast - a careful mix of Assam, Kenya and Ceylon teas and perhaps the most famous blend in the world. The Assam gives the blend strength, the Ceylon flavour and balance, and the Kenya colour.
English Breakfast Tea is full-bodied, rich and robust, with a wonderful sweet round flavour. The fine leaf produces a strong, quick-brewing tea.
To brew: Place one teaspoon per person in a warmed pot and add fresh boiling water. Allow to brew for 5 minutes. Strain into cups or mugs. This tea can be enjoyed with milk and sugar or on its own.

Looking down on the tea plantations across the majestic hills of the southeast of Rwanda is the Nyungwe National Park, home to the last block of montane forest in East or Central Africa. It is one of the most ancient forests, dating back before the last Ice Age, which supports a uniquely rich floral diversity, with over 200 different types of tree, myriad flowering plants including a host of colourful orchids.
The meeting of two varied landscapes - tea plantation and forest - creates a rich visual experience. The magnificent views of the Nyungwe Forest are a beautiful backdrop to the tea plantation.The tea transports you across the desert plains up into the lush forest. The liquor is a rich red-brown with a distinct floral aroma, producing a full-bodied and bright, spicy flavour.
