What is English breakfast tea?
Miles’ West Country Original Blend is our own version of the well-known English Breakfast we all love. English breakfast tea is a traditional blend of black teas that are known for their robust flavour and rich aroma. Originating in the United Kingdom, this classic tea blend typically includes teas from different regions of India & Africa. English breakfast tea is often enjoyed with milk and sugar, although preferences may vary. Its full-bodied nature makes it an ideal choice for starting the day or enjoying during afternoon tea. Renowned for its invigorating properties, English breakfast tea has become a staple in many households and continues to be a popular choice among tea enthusiasts worldwide.
How much caffeine is in English Breakfast tea?
English Breakfast tea typically contains around 30-60 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce cup. The caffeine content can vary depending on factors such as the brand of tea, brewing time, and the specific type of black tea used in the blend. As a comparison, this amount is less than coffee but more than green tea. Caffeine levels in English Breakfast tea can provide a moderate energy boost and a sense of alertness without the jitteriness often associated with higher caffeine beverages. It is important to note that individual responses to caffeine may vary, so it's advisable to monitor personal tolerance levels when consuming caffeinated drinks like English Breakfast tea.
What is the best way to make English Breakfast tea?
To make the perfect cup of Miles’ own English Breakfast tea, start by boiling fresh, filtered water. Warm up your teapot by rinsing it with some of the hot water. Add one teaspoon of loose leaf English Breakfast (West Country Original) tea per cup into the teapot. Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let it steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your preference for strength. If you prefer a stronger brew, you can steep it for a bit longer. Once the tea has steeped to your liking, pour it into a teacup and enjoy as is or with a splash of milk and a touch of sugar, according to your taste preferences. The result will be, in our humble opinion, the best cup of English Breakfast tea that you have ever tasted!
