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.

Adam X. ★★★★★

I steeped it exactly four minutes on a rainy Sunday and the cup came out deep, bold, and smooth enough to drink black. The story about Balmoral gives it a nice little history to sip on. This will be my morning go-to from now on.

Avery X. ★★★★★

The Edinburgh connection in the description made me smile, and the brew itself is robust without turning bitter even after five minutes of steeping. This is my new go-to for a proper morning cup.

Michael L. ★★★★★

Feels like a proper morning ritual now that I’ve made the switch. The leaves are bold enough to stand up to milk but not bitter, and the brew turns a deep amber in about three minutes which is exactly my speed. A bit pricey per cup, but Queen Victoria’s approval is hard to argue with.
