How to Brew

You can discover our in depth black tea brewing guide to learn how to brew the perfect cup of tea. Use these quick steps to brew the perfect cup:

Use 1 triune teabag per cup
200ml of freshly boiled water (100°C)
Steep 3 to 5 minutes
Enjoy black or with milk

For a teapot, use one teabag per cup of water, plus one extra teabag for the pot. A standard 600 ml to 1 litre teapot usually requires 3 to 5 teabags for a balanced, full flavoured infusion.

Why Choose This Tea

Premium Sri Lankan provenance from Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya
High grown Ceylon leaves for clarity, brightness and depth
Small batch blended for consistency
Teabag convenience with loose leaf calibre flavour
Perfect for breakfast, focus and refined everyday drinking

Production and Leaf Grades

This blend uses carefully selected BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) and FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe) leaf grades. These leaves undergo the full orthodox process of withering, rolling, controlled oxidation and drying. This traditional method develops the tea’s rich aroma, warm caramel notes and distinctive copper hue that characterises premium Ceylon teas.

Wellbeing and Potential Health Benefits

As a classic black tea, English Breakfast offers a natural source of polyphenol antioxidants. Many tea drinkers enjoy it as a gentler alternative to coffee since it provides a balanced caffeine lift, steady focus and soothing flavour as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Origin and Craftsmanship

This distinguished blend is sourced from high altitude Sri Lankan gardens reaching up to 1,868 metres in Dimbula and Nuwara Eliya. The cool, misty climate places gentle stress on the tea plants, intensifying aroma and flavour.

Every batch is selected for balance and harmony, then blended with care. The leaves unfurl beautifully during steeping, releasing layered aromatics that stand far above standard supermarket English Breakfast teabags.

Region

Dimbula, Sri Lanka

Located in Sri Lanka’s Central Province, Nuwara Eliya is about 40 km south of Kandy in the hill country. The district's terrain is mainly mountainous, featuring deep valleys and expansive estates surrounded by dense forests. Nuwara Eliya, situated at 1,868 meters above sea level, is near Sri Lanka's highest peak, Pidurutalagala, at 2,542 meters, and the sacred Adam's Peak at 2,243 meters. Known as 'Little England,' the area retains a cool, temperate climate, making it apopular British colonial hill station and a contemporary resort destination.

Temperatures here are moderate year-round, peaking at 22°C in March and April and cooling to between 9°C and 20°C from November to January. The region, lying within the Wet Zone, experiences heavy cloud cover and consistent rainfall, especially from October to November, with milder rain from December to March. These conditions, along with fertile soils at high altitudes, are perfect for tea cultivation. After replacing disease-ravaged coffee plantations in the 1860s, tea became the predominant crop. Today, Nuwara Eliya is celebrated for its high-grown teas, renowned globally for their exceptional quality and flavour.
