Loose leaf tea - 100% organic

English Breakfast

No frills. No fuss. Just an exceptional cup of black tea done exactly right. English Breakfast is the foundation that the entire tea world is built on — bright, rich, and malty with the kind of depth that wakes you up and means it. This is the tea that's been starting mornings and steadying afternoons for generations, and when it's made with quality all-natural black tea, you understand why nothing has ever replaced it. Holds up beautifully with milk and sugar, dignified enough without. Some classics earn their place.

Ingredients: Black tea.

Was gifted the English Breakfast tea. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend it.

This is my first choice for the first cup of the day.

This makes a good strong mug of tea, using a heaped teaspoon in my tea mug w/infuser, steeping for 4 minutes. I have read that it takes 15 minutes for most of the caffeine to be released. I guess 4 minutes should help to keep down the unwanted caffeine.

This is some of the best English Breakfast I've ever had. It's rich and has depth of flavour without being overwhelming. I wish I'd gotten more when I ordered!

How to make the perfect cup

1

Add one scoop

One heaping teaspoon per cup, straight into your infuser.

2

Pour just-off-boil water

Around 95°C. Let the kettle settle a few seconds after it clicks off.

3

Steep 4 minutes

Let it open up, then drink. For a stronger taste, let it steep for up to 5 minutes.

Why loose leaf tastes better

A tea bag holds the dust left over after the good pieces are sorted out. Loose leaf is the whole fruit and leaf, with room to open up in the water. Then there's how it's put together: Nicole ran kitchens in Gambo and Gander for twenty years, and every blend is built by taste, the way a chef builds a dish, sampled and refined at our table until it's right.

✓

Whole, natural ingredients

Real fruit, flowers and leaves you can see in the scoop.

✓

No artificial flavours or sweeteners

The taste comes from what’s in the bag. Nothing sprayed on.

✓

100% organic

Sourced from certified organic gardens around the world.

✓

Room to open up

Whole pieces unfold in the water, so you get the full flavour.

✓

Still good 2 years after opening

Keep it sealed and dry and it holds its taste.

✓

Zero sugar

Our fruit blends are naturally sweet with no sugar added.

✓

Blended by taste

Built the way a chef builds a dish, and tested until it’s right.

✓

Small batches from Gander

Blended and packed by our family, so it arrives fresh.

Questions we get asked

Is there sugar or artificial sweetener in the natural flavours?

No. There's no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners or flavours in any of our blends. The sweetness you taste comes from real ingredients like dried fruit, berries and flower petals, and any natural flavours are just that: natural. Every blend is 100% organic, so what's in the bag is what you taste.

How much tea is in a pack, and how do I brew it?

Mini makes 3 cups, Small about 15 cups, Regular about 40 cups.

New to loose leaf? It's easy. For a cup, use one teaspoon. Pour water just off the boil (around 95°C), steep 2 to 5 minutes, then lift out the leaves.

You'll need something to hold the leaves while they steep. We sell paper tea filters, ball infusers and infusers that sit right in your mug.
