## Description

desertcart.com : Whittard of Chelsea Tea English Breakfast (140g Loose Leaf Tin) : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Rose tea heaven! Love, love love! - I’ve tried a number of rose teas and this is our family’s favorite by far. On the more floral side, which I appreciate, and the aroma is divine in the tin and in the cup. The rose petals and buds create a delightfully pampered experience. Lovely with cream and sugar or plain. I can only drink caffeine in the morning, so I do wish there was a decaf version—that is my only criticism of this wonderful beverage. Totally worth the price, and I highly recommend, which I wouldn’t say about a lot of teas.
Review: Wonderful breakfast tea! Also, good for fasting! - I really like this tea. Perhaps you've heard of intermittent fasting, perhaps not, but I don't eat until 1p everyday. I love that I can drink black tea or coffee without breaking a fast, and I prefer tea, but some black tea and breakfast blends can get me a bit nauseated or tea drunk on an empty stomach, but once I nailed how I like to brew this one, I found that it had great flavor without any noticeable jitters or belly stuff. I drink a lot of different tea, but I will be revisiting this one in the future. I highly recommend!

## Features

- ENGLISH BREAKFAST BLACK TEA - A smooth, versatile and invigorating loose leaf black tea with a robust malty richness. A Whittard firm favorite for well over a century now, our English Breakfast loose leaf tea is particularly delicious served with a splash of milk to accompany a hearty "full English".
- LOOSE LEAF TEA - Our English favorite contains English Breakfast Loose Black Tea. Suitable for Vegetarians and is Vegan Friendly. Best if stored in a cool, dry place away from strong light and odors.
- HOW TO BREW - Black tea is more robust than other tea types, so don't hold back. Add two teaspoons (around 4g) of loose loose-leaf per cup and use water off the boil (around 176°F). leave the kettle after boiling for five minutes. We recommend brewing in freshly boiled water for 3-5 minutes. Best enjoyed hot!
