Grown at high altitudes this is the most famous of all teas. When steeped a little longer than normal, this tea delivers a strong, brisk flavour that can be enjoyed either black or with a drop of milk.

Yahava’s single-origin Ceylon English Brekky Black Tea is our take on a classic. As a crowd favourite, many love the roasted and sweet yet bitter taste of this drink. Black Tea has the highest caffeine levels of all teas (but still less than half that of a standard coffee). Oxidation enhances the flavour, strength and body of the leaves which releases more caffeine than you will find in other teas, giving black tea it’s strong stimulating character. English Brekky Black Tea (or English breakfast tea as it is more commonly known) is best taken during or after your first meal of the day. A good ‘cuppa’ will lift your spirits, help you focus and keep you energised throughout the day.

English Brekky Black Tea

Botanical: Camellia sinensis

Origin: Sri Lanka

Health Benefits: Black tea contains beneficial compounds called polyphenols that are antioxidants, known to lower the risks of heart disease, suppress some cancers and deter the onset of Alzheimer’s. It also releases caffeine that will increase alertness and focus and interestingly an amino acid called L-theanine, which releases stress and calms your body.



History

In the mid 1800s, tea was a luxury and each year the first harvests to make it to the docks in London attracted premium prices. Huge and very fast tea clipper ships would race to bring the tea 14,000 miles from China for the thirsty Brits. The term ‘English Breakfast tea’ was coined by an American tea merchant who introduced the hearty blend of Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan teas as a breakfast beverage, to New Yorkers. Our single origin Ceylon English Brekky is faithful to the tradition of a robust, rich and full-bodied tea. Traditionally when taken with milk, the brewing times can be extended to create more body and flavour, but ease back if you like your tea black

Brewing English Brekky Black Tea

To get a hearty roasted black tea, take 1 teaspoon of our Yahava Ceylon English Brekky Black Tea and steep it in a 220 ml cup at 90°c for 3-4 minutes. You may also wish to add milk.

The Peacock Butterfly

Aglais io

We have chosen the most British of butterflies as the ambassador for this single origin Ceylon tea. The Peacock butterfly was described by King Charles’ first physician, as “having wings that shine curiously like stars and do cast about them sparks of the colours of the rainbow”. These prolific nectar feeders love the British woodlands and flowery hillsides.

How Much Milk Should I Add To Yahava’s English Brekky Black Tea?

To get the ideal English breakfast black tea, you can add 2 teaspoons of milk after you have steeped a spoonful of black tea in hot water. This creates a smooth, silky flavour that won’t diminish the roasted taste of the robust black tea. However, you can add as much milk as you please, depending on your preferences.
