Collection: Breakfast Tea

Breakfast tea is the strong, full-bodied black tea that stands up to milk and gets the morning moving. Our lineup runs from the classic to the unexpected, all brewed bold.

Essentials English Breakfast is our traditional organic English breakfast tea, bright and brisk. Essentials Black Gold is a malty organic Yunnan with a smooth, honeyed finish, and The Library is a deep, malty organic Assam with cacao. Like a little smoke? Golden Arrow adds smoky black tea and toffee, while Breakfast pairs a smoky English breakfast with vanilla.

Brew with water just off the boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then add milk and sugar to taste. Several come in tea bags for busy mornings. See every bold blend in our black tea collection. Free US shipping on orders $45+.

Frequently asked questions

What is breakfast tea?

A strong, full-bodied black tea, often Assam, Yunnan or a blend, made to pair well with milk.

Do breakfast teas have caffeine?

Yes. They are black teas, so they have more caffeine than green, white or herbal teas.

Should I add milk?

It is up to you. These blends are built to take milk and sugar, but they are smooth enough to drink straight.
