Product Description
Emperor's Breakfast Loose Leaf Black Tea is a Chinese tea originating in the Great Ming Dynasty.
Emperor's Breakfast is the antithesis of modern, industrially produced blends. This single estate tea is carefully grown, harvested and prepared to be the perfect breakfast tea without the need for any blending. The tea contains both softness and strength without the need for the commercial blender's contrivance.
Delicately twisted whole leaves and golden buds create a powerful breakfast tea. But careful crafting rather than mass production allows the leaves to retain a unique depth of flavour and complexity. Wonderfully comforting malty notes and delicious caramel flavours are revealed.
Of course, in time-honoured tradition, you are more than welcome to blend our teas at home. Before the advent of tea-bags containing their sealed contents of up to 60 teas we blended our teas at home straight into the pot to our personal preferences. We recommend adding a spoon of Hand-made black Malawi if you're feeling adventurous.
Using 1g per cup, each tin makes 25 cups or 12 pots of tea for two - 26p a cup. These whole leaves can be re-infused.
Emperor's Breakfast Loose Leaf Black Tea Features:
- Black tea originating in the Ming dynasty
- Delicately twisted buds and whole leaves
- Crafted not processed
- A unique depth of flavour is preserved
- The power of a breakfast tea with deeply satisfying complexity
- The antithesis of industrialised, mass produced blends
Brewing techniques:
For black tea the steeping times really differ with preference. If you want to drink the tea on it's own (without milk) 3 minutes is ideal but if you want to build the strong tannic flavours you may want to leave it longer. It takes longer than a tea bag because we use whole leaves not tiny particles of tea and it takes longer for the water to penetrate the leaf. We hope you agree that the flavour is well worth the wait
