English breakfast tea

English breakfast tea, or simply breakfast tea, is a traditional blend of black teas, typically sourced from Assam, Ceylon, and Kenya. It is one of the most popular blended teas and holds a prominent place in both British and Irish tea culture.

English breakfast tea is typically described as full-bodied, robust, and rich. It is often blended to pair well with milk and sugar, in keeping with the tradition of serving it alongside a hearty full English breakfast.

The specific teas used in the blend can vary, though Assam, Ceylon, and Kenyan teas are the most common. Some premium blends may also include Keemun, a Chinese black tea.
