This happened when people started to change their preferred morning drink from Ale to Tea. To make his concoction have an appealing market perception, he called it “Breakfast Tea”. Since he knew that this would excite people about beginning their day with something stimulating.

It was after Queen Victoria had it during her stay at Balmoral that popularity for this beverage increased. She fell in love with its brilliant taste and brought some back home. Thus solidifying its place within the English tea culture forever.

As time went by, so did the meaning change – referring only to certain types of black teas, which are strong enough. Even though you may add milk if desired – now it can also refer to any black type served with sugar or/and milk.

English Breakfast Tea is Made from Black Tea Leaves

To ensure a well-rounded and flavorful morning tea, the best estates in the area must be sought when selecting Assam and Ceylon leaves. It is common knowledge that Assam Tea from India and Ceylon Tea from Sri Lanka have excellent taste.

These dried leaves are made into black teas. The teas are blends of leaves grown under perfect conditions with enough rain. With their fullness of body, such gardens in Sri Lanka yield rounded breakfast teas. They are most suitable for an early morning energiser.

In Assam, the lowlands of Brahmaputra River Valley house many tea estates due to favourable climate and soil. These conditions are necessary for growing this plant. Hand picking followed by delicate processing brings about strong flavor associated with malty notes found in bold Assams.

Higher altitudes are in cooler regions. This is unlike the lower, warmer areas where it’s grown. At Highlands, the tea has a lighter character. Tasters have noted this at sessions at different elevations in Sri Lanka. So that natural tastes & smells are retained, the plucking and treatment methods used on these leaves need to be gentle.

While selecting your cuppa for tomorrow’s morning’, look for a balanced blend that will give you both strength and richness. It should have a deep amber hue with lingering smoothness on the palate.
