English Breakfast Tea

Introducing **Javablu Artisan Tea's English Breakfast Tea**, a masterfully crafted blend that honors the grand British tradition of morning tea while delivering exceptional quality in every cup. This is **breakfast tea as it should be**—**not too complicated but strong enough to stand up to milk and sugar**. A **rustic, sweet cup that brings good news all day long**, expertly blended from the finest organic teas of India and Sri Lanka to create the perfect start to your morning.

**The British Breakfast Tradition** 

English Breakfast Tea has been the cornerstone of British tea culture for over 150 years. Born from the need for a robust, satisfying tea that could hold its own against a hearty English breakfast and complement milk and sugar, this blend has become synonymous with morning rituals worldwide. Our interpretation respects this storied tradition while elevating it with premium single-origin teas that showcase the best of tea-growing regions.

**Three Exceptional Origins, One Perfect Blend** 

This thoughtfully composed blend features three premium organic teas, each contributing distinct character:

**Organic Assam TGFOP** – The backbone of our blend comes from India's legendary Assam region, specifically **Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe** grade—one of the highest quality designations in tea. Assam provides the robust **malty** character, full body, and natural strength that defines great breakfast tea. Rich, bold, and deeply satisfying, Assam delivers the caffeine kick and substantial presence that makes breakfast tea such an effective morning energizer. This is the tea that stands up beautifully to milk and sugar without losing its identity.

**Organic Ceylon OP** – From the highland tea gardens of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) comes **Orange Pekoe** grade tea that adds brightness, complexity, and balance. Ceylon contributes crisp, clean character with natural citrus notes and a lively astringency that keeps the blend from becoming too heavy. This is the element that provides refinement and elegance, elevating the blend beyond simple strength.

**Organic 2nd Flush Darjeeling** – The jewel in the crown, second flush Darjeeling from India's Himalayan foothills adds **fruity** complexity and **sweet** muscatel notes that distinguish this blend from ordinary breakfast teas. Known as the "Champagne of Teas," Darjeeling contributes aromatic sophistication and delicate fruit character that creates depth and interest. This is the unexpected element that makes our English Breakfast special.

This harmonious trinity creates a breakfast tea that's greater than the sum of its parts—a blend that balances strength with nuance, boldness with refinement.

**Flavor Profile** 

Experience the captivating interplay of **malty richness, fruity complexity, and natural sweetness**. The **malty** Assam base provides robust, full-bodied character with notes of toasted grain and chocolate-like depth. The **fruity** Darjeeling adds bright muscatel notes reminiscent of ripe stone fruit and wine-like complexity. Natural **sweetness** from all three origins creates a rounded, satisfying cup that's never harsh or one-dimensional. This is breakfast tea with character—bold enough to wake you up, nuanced enough to keep you interested sip after sip.

**Exceptional Characteristics** 

- **High Astringency:** Bold and brisk with a clean, invigorating finish that stimulates and refreshes

- **Medium Body:** Substantial enough to satisfy without being heavy; perfectly balanced weight

- **Medium Sweetness:** Naturally sweet with balanced character that works beautifully with or without additions

This well-calibrated profile creates a breakfast tea that's versatile, satisfying, and appropriate for all-day enjoyment despite its morning-focused name.

**Breakfast Tea as It Should Be** 

We believe great breakfast tea doesn't need gimmicks or complications. It should be **not too complicated**—straightforward, honest, and focused on quality ingredients working in harmony. It should be **strong enough to stand up to milk and sugar**, maintaining its character and presence even when additions soften and sweeten it. Most importantly, it should be delicious, satisfying, and reliable—the kind of tea that becomes an essential part of your daily ritual.

Our English Breakfast delivers exactly this. No fuss, no pretension—just exceptional tea that performs beautifully whether you take it with milk and sugar, a splash of milk alone, or completely plain.

**A Rustic, Sweet Cup** 

This is a **rustic, sweet cup** in the best sense—honest, unpretentious, and deeply comforting. The rusticity comes from the robust Assam character and the straightforward blend composition. The sweetness is natural, derived from quality tea rather than added flavors. Together, these qualities create a breakfast tea that feels like home, that **brings good news all day long** with its reliable goodness and comforting presence.

This is the tea equivalent of a warm hug—familiar, reassuring, and always welcome.

**Perfect with Milk and Sugar** 

English Breakfast truly shines in the traditional British preparation:

**The Classic Method:**

1. Brew the tea strong (use the full 5-7 minute steeping time)

2. Add a generous splash of milk (whole milk is traditional, but any milk works)

3. Sweeten to taste with sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener

4. The result: A creamy, sweet, robust cup that's the perfect breakfast companion

The milk softens the astringency, creates luxurious creaminess, and allows the malty-fruity character to bloom beautifully. Sugar enhances the natural sweetness and rounds out the flavors. This is breakfast tea as the British have enjoyed it for generations—comforting, energizing, and utterly satisfying.

**Excellent on Its Own** 

While superb with milk and sugar, this blend is equally delicious enjoyed plain. Without additions, you'll experience:

- The full complexity of three distinct tea origins

- The interplay of malty, fruity, and sweet notes

- Maximum caffeine effect for serious morning energy

This versatility makes it appropriate for any preference or dietary need.

**Simple Brewing Instructions** 

Creating the perfect cup is effortlessly simple:

- **Dose:** 2.5 grams per 12 oz

- **Temperature:** 195°F (just below boiling)

- **Steep Time:** 5-7 minutes (brew strong for traditional preparation with milk; adjust for drinking plain)

The robust character of this blend means it can handle full steeping without becoming bitter, ensuring you extract maximum flavor, body, and caffeine.

**Powerfully Energizing** 

As a blend featuring high-grade Assam, this English Breakfast provides substantial caffeine:

- Strong morning energy to jumpstart your day

- Enhanced mental alertness and clarity

- Sustained lift without jitters or crashes

- The perfect coffee alternative for tea lovers

Combined with the naturally occurring L-theanine in tea, the caffeine provides smooth, focused energy rather than the harsh jolt of coffee.

- **Morning Ritual:** The classic choice to start your day right

- **Mid-Morning Break:** Sustain energy through busy mornings

- **Afternoon Tea:** Traditional British tea time calls for breakfast tea
