Assam tea comes from the Assam region of northeast India. When people think English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast tea, they’re thinking of Assam. Strong, slightly tart on the tongue, with a malty body and beautiful amber colour, it’s the classic black leaf. Our Assam tea is certified organic and sourced from some of the finest plantations in India. This particular batch is BOP grade (‘broken orange pekoe’), which means it’s finer, more pungent and better value. Although Black Assam doesn’t have the nutrients of green or white tea (due to oxidation), it’s still packed with immune-boosting antioxidants and vitamin B1. Pair with crumpets and the Sunday paper.

This is our signature English Breakfast blend. We take a malty premium Black Assam mix for a full-bodied cuppa. A good English Breakfast shouldn’t be too tannic. This one’s got some soft, floral undertones, but it’s still a hearty breakfast tea, best enjoyed with marmalade toast and the morning paper. Like other black tea blends, English Breakfast is full of antioxidants, vitamin B (for red blood circulation), plus phosphorous and magnesium (good for strong bones).

Here’s how to make a proper French Earl Grey. Start with premium, organic black tea and then Infuse it with fragrant bergamot oil. Then layer in rose petals, peppery calendula (also known as marigold) and cornflowers. Suddenly you’ve got something really interesting: A complex brew with floral hops and some earthy, clove-like spice. The French prefer a flowery Earl Grey, and you can add all sorts of things to this basic mix: Lavender petals, dandelion leaves, dried apple pieces or black peppercorns. It’s really down to personal taste. When your kitchen smells like a Parisian garden, you’ll know you’re on the right track. Bon appetite.

Earl Grey sounds like a tweedy British invention, but it was actually Chinese tea masters who first blended black tea with bergamot. The match became a classic: sweet, floral bergamot mixed with malty, full-bodied black tea leaves. There are endless ways to sip Earl Grey. The English favour a thin slice of lemon. Parisians prefer a sprig of lavender. In South Africa, they’re partial to Rooibos Earl Grey (which is, helpfully, caffeine free). That light citrus zing has one other bonus – Earl Grey works wonders in desserts. Chocolate is a classic, but try infusing Earl Grey in custard. It makes a cracking crème brûlée.
