English Breakfast is one of the jewels in the British tea crown. Bold, satisfying and deliciously smooth, it's the perfect cuppa – any time of the day.
To make this blend, our Tea Masters balance malty Indian Assam with brisk Ceylon and bright Kenyan teas. We use a high proportion of second flush Assam (leaves picked at the peak of their quality) to create an invigorating brew full of rich, comforting flavours. Wherever your day takes you, a cup of our English Breakfast Tea helps get you there.
So whether you drink it in the morning with breakfast, enjoy it for elevenses or sip it as an afternoon reviver, we bring you a robust, aromatic tea in every cup. Just add a splash of milk (and a full English breakfast) to start your day the Ahmad Tea way.
