English Breakfast Large-Leaf Teabags
English Breakfast is perhaps the best known of the classic blends. It is usually (as ours is) a blend of teas from Ceylon (for flavour), Assam (for strength) and Kenya (for colour), though others teas are sometimes used.
English Breakfast is full-bodied, rich and robust. It has a distinct sweetness and roundedness of flavour and a deep red-brown colour.
It is also a very versatile tea, which is great to drink at any time of day. A mid-afternoon break with a mug of E.B. and a nice bit of cake will keep you going for another hour or two!
To brew, put one teabag in a mug and add freshly boiled water. Infuse for 4 mins. Best served with milk (and sugar if desired). Some prefer it black, perhaps with a slice of lemon.
