What is English Breakfast tea?

English Breakfast tea is a blend that is very popular in England. It's a strong and robust blend of black tea with rich red color and it accommodates milk, cream and sugar very well. It can also be served with lemon and used for iced tea.

The most common ingredients of the blend are black tea varieties like Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Assam, Ceylon and African (Kenyan). Keemun tea is also used for the higher-grade gourmet blends.

Make sure the British Breakfast is not overbrewed since it can turn bitter, unlike the green tea.
