A classic black tea with a bold and malty flavour, best enjoyed after a hearty breakfast with visitors.                                                                                          

In the old Anglo-Saxon tradition of hospitality, hosts would provide hearty breakfasts for visiting friends and neighbours.

A rich explosion of flavour and strength.

About The Tea: The strength in the cup originates from one of our top-quality upper ASSAM estates, while the flavour comes from our heritage tea estate in the Darjeeling hills.

A blend usually made up of two to three different black teas was created to pair well with the traditional protein-rich meal. The boldness is perfectly balanced by the sweet floral notes, providing the right start to your mornings.
