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.

Sebastian ★★★★☆

The bit about Queen Victoria and Balmoral Castle is a nice touch that made me want to try it, and the loose leaf itself brews up a rich, dark cup that holds up well to milk. I just wish the tin came with a bit more leaf for the price, but it's a solid everyday breakfast.
