English breakfast

Our HT English Breakfast offers a modern update on the classic English Breakfast, which traditionally features a Chinese Keemun base. Instead, HT English Breakfast is built from full-leaf black teas from Ceylon and Kenya, producing a bolder, more full-bodied cup. The brew pours a deep amber-red, with a robust, malty character from the Kenyan tea, balanced by Ceylon's bright, brisk edge and a clean, satisfying finish. A hearty, invigorating alternative to the original — perfect for those who like their morning cup with real strength.
 
Which English Breakfast is right for you?
We offer three English Breakfast blends, each with its own character:
 
Classic English Breakfast — 100% China Keemun. The traditional, historic English Breakfast base, dating back to 1800s England. Smooth and wine-like, with notes of dried fruit, cocoa, and a mellow, smoky-sweet finish. Best for those who prefer a gentler, more refined black tea.
 
HT English Breakfast — Full-leaf black teas from Ceylon and Kenya. A bolder, more robust update on the Classic, with a malty, full-bodied cup and a brisk, clean finish. Best for those who want more strength and depth than the Classic offers.
 
Royal English Breakfast — Kenilworth Ceylon and Kenyan Milima, two distinguished single-estate teas. A stout, full-bodied brew with real depth, smooth and rounded, and excellent with milk and sugar. Best for those who want the most robust, indulgent cup — ideal for a traditional milk tea.
