## Description

Today the habit of tea drinking is inexorably linked to the British despite the fact that the British were fairly late on the tea scene in historical terms. Ironically the first mention of tea in English literature is a translation of a Dutchman's travels to the east. Tea was first brought to England via Holland on Dutch ships. Since tea was becoming an "in" beverage the British government became quite incensed that a tiny nation such as the Netherlands would control the shipment of tea to the UK.Breakfast teas are hardy, robust blends that take milk well. The origins of the first breakfast tea, English breakfast is a bit obscure. One story has it that a tea purveyor named Drysdale came up with a blend he labeled as "Breakfast". The result - a tea that is a perfect breakfast tea with good body and full tea flavor notes. Coppery bright - especially enticing with milk.
