From Twinings

English Breakfast is our most popular tea. To create this well-balanced blend, we select some of the finest teas, each with its own unique characteristics.

Tea from Kenya and Malawi, provides the briskness and coppery-red colour while Assam gives full-body and flavour. The robustness from these regions is complemented by softer teas from other regions.

The combination yields a complex, full-bodied, lively cup of tea that is perfect any time of day.

Notes: Smooth, Flavorful, Robust

Ingredients: Fine black tea expertly selected from Kenya, Indonesia, Assam, Malawi and China

Brewing Instructions: Add freshly boiled water. Steep 4 minutes or to desired strength. Do not microwave.

This is the tea I grew up on and keep on hand for guests. It is one I find that most people like, it comes bagged so it is convenient, and I can pick it up on sale for $2/box. The price itself insured this is what I drank all though college. It is also the first tea I introduced to my husband when we got married so I could stop buying the cheap Lipton tea that I hate drinking.

This tea feels like making a cup of coffee to me. Very traditional feel and taste to it. If you do not like grainy tea you should pass on this one. Nice tea tin and presentation. It would make a nice gift.

this is one of my favorite classics, the perfect tea to have on a lazy morning. Plus it has an amazing odor to go with the taste!

For non-loose leaf tea that you can buy just about anywhere, this is definitely my go-to English Breakfast. I always add milk and sugar.

A staple of my tea cupboard, always. I’ve always been a fan of Twinings teas, and this one is no exception – made strong enough to knock over large livestock, it’s seen me through many an early morning.

I bought this tea because I needed to add some “black” teas to my collection. I am also reading Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One and this is Anastasia’s favorite tea. So I figured I needed to try it! I let the tea bag seep for about 3 minutes and I didn’t put any milk or sweetener. The tea tasted OK, but not going to say I’m the biggest fan. I will definitely try it again in hopes of getting a little better result, maybe I won’t let it seep for so long.

Perhaps nothing special, but certainly something that is dearly loved. I adore this blend and that it is so versatile in how it can be prepared while remaining pleasurable. Nothing brings a smile to my face more than when I’m traveling and I see Twining’s English Breakfast Blend available, and personally, I order it in bulk.

Slightly less flavourful than the Twinings Irish Breakfast, but much smoother, and just overall enjoyable. Not at all bitter and a nice after-taste.
