About Production

About English Breakfast Heritage Loose Leaf

One story goes that ‘Breakfast Tea’ was the invention of an Edinburgh tea master in the 1800s. It was only after Queen Victoria had savoured the blend at Balmoral Castle, and brought it back to London, that its popularity spread through the capital’s most fashionable tea houses. Renamed, English Breakfast now enjoys a global presence. Our loose leaf version is rich, robust and malty.

Every blend in the Heritage Collection honours the origins of the world’s finest tea.

Terroir & Production

This blend unites second flush Assam leaves, harvested in May and June when heat and humidity produce large, flavour-rich leaves, with high-grown Ceylon tea from the sunlit slopes of Sri Lanka’s central highlands. The Assam contributes malty depth and warmth, while the Ceylon adds clarity and a gentle aromatic lift. Together they produce a rich amber infusion that captures the harmony of two great tea regions and the enduring spirit of a true breakfast blend.
