Essentials English Breakfast Organic Black Tea

English Breakfast is a classic, and easy to overlook if you’re perusing August Tea’s roster of tantalizing options, but I’d recommend giving it a try. From the moment you open the bag and inhale, you sense that this is a warm, familiar, and comforting tea. With the first cup, you realize it has a serious kick of caffeine. It’s an excellent tea to have on hand for guests or for mornings when you need a boost. I enjoy it with a little honey and oat milk or cream.

As much as I love the blends and exotic concoctions, sometimes I just want a simple black tea. And, I want it to taste great. I have found it with English Breakfast. This black tea is perfect for when I just want a good, old fashioned cup of tea. And, the same for having it iced. I will add in a spot of honey for the iced tea and it's out onto the summer porch for me. So on those mornings that are getting crisper, Essentials English Breakfast tea is soooo decadent. Try it with some milk for a smooth ride.

This is especially nice hot with a bit of lemon. It’s also great as iced tea with a small slice of lemon. It’s lovely plain, too!

The back label clearly states this tea blend is strong. Wow, they were not kidding! It’s one of the few teas I’d recommend adding milk to. Each rebrew was slightly less intense, and I rebrewed it about 5 times just to see how long it would last. I prefer my tea rather strong and love the bite of black teas so I’ll be keeping this blend in stock.

Strong and complex, bracing and energizing. A perfect way to start the morning , but I would drink this all day long! It’s the perfect pick me up!
