Rather, teas were chosen that were plentiful and not too expensive, and that would taste good with milk and sugar. Something an English person would enjoy at the start of a busy day. So in the early 1800s, that tea would have been a black tea from China, and this is where we take our inspiration. Later on, many Brits drank the brisker teas from the British colonies of India and Ceylon. After the Second World War, when the colonies became independent, the source of English Breakfast for the British became Africa. We do have some blends that are inspired by these regions, however this English Breakfast, like the original, is Chinese black tea. HARNEY & SONS IS A PROUD MEMBER OF 1% FOR THE PLANET Joining 1% for The Planet meant we could directly donate one percent of our total sales to the environmental organizations of our choice.

Review: Best tea ever - This English Breakfast loose leaf tea exceeded all my expectations. The aroma alone is incredible — rich, warm, and comforting the moment you open the bag. Once brewed, the flavor is smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced without any bitterness. You can really taste the quality of the tea leaves compared to regular tea bags. It has that classic robust breakfast tea flavor but with a much fresher and more refined taste. Perfect on its own or with a splash of milk. I’ve made this part of my morning routine and honestly look forward to it every day now. If you love tea, this is absolutely worth trying! Review: Good tea - First time trying Harney and Sons, and I am impressed. This English tea is cost effective, has great taste, and comes in a tin as opposed to plastic. I cant wait to try out some of their other offerings. ## Features - Allergen information: gluten_free - English Breakfast Tea is pure China Black Keemun, the original Chinese black tea - Harney & Sons Teas are served at Luxury Hotels such as: Four Seasons,Ritz Carlton,Waldorf Astoria - It offers a smooth, yet robust flavour with smokey and gentle afternotes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008H7DM9E | | Allergen Information | Gluten Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,168 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #9 in Black Tea | | Brand | Harney & Sons | | Brand Name | Harney & Sons | | Caffeine Content Description | Medium Caffeine | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,196 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free, Halal, Kosher | | Each Unit Count | 4 | | Flavor | English Breakfast | | Item Dimensions | 2.75 x 2.75 x 3.75 inches | | Item Form | Loose Leaves | | Item Type Name | Black Tea | | Item Volume | 31.27 Cubic Inches | | Item Weight | 4 Ounces | | Liquid Contents Description | Beverage Type Not Listed | | Manufacturer | Harney & Sons | | Model Number | 38-0021 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Size Name | 4 Ounce Tin | | Part Number | 38-0021 | | Product Benefits | Bold & Smooth, China Keemun, Full-Bodied Taste, Hot or Iced, Loose Leaf Tea | | Product Shelf Life | 730 Days | | Recommended Uses For Product | Morning Consumption | | Special Ingredients | Maple | | Specialty | Unsweetened | | Sweetness Description | Mildly sweet | | Tea Variety | English Breakfast | | UPC | 636046005015 | | Unit Count | 4.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Harney & Sons - **Flavor:** English Breakfast - **Item Form:** Loose Leaves - **Tea Variety:** English Breakfast - **Unit Count:** 4.0 Ounce ## Images ![Harney & Sons English Breakfast Loose Leaf Black Tea, 4 oz Tin, China Keemun, Bold Full-Bodied Flavor for Hot or Iced Tea, Caffeinated - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K0frDYdQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it taste really "tea-ey"...like plants? Or like chocolate and mint?** A: Chocolate and mint. Add cream to make it more chocolate and minty. add honey to make it taste like hot sweet chocolate mint heaven. It does not taste - at all - like a Lipton tea. **Q: What are the dimensions of the tin itself (not ounces of tea)?** A: It is a very nice size, rounding up a little to approximately 3" x 3" x 4" high. 2 & 15/16" x 2 & 15/16" by 3 & 13/16" high to be exact. **Q: Please could you tell me how much loose tea do you need to make a mug of tea? or how many mugs does 4 oz of tea make. thanks** A: If you are referring to this particular tea, PARIS, a 4 oz tin makes 30-40 cups. Mugs are different sizes as well so I would say 30. By the cup, you would use a teaspoon. When made by the “pot” the saying is an extra teaspoon for the pot. Different teas yield different cup amounts too as well as personal preference to weak or stronger flavor of their tea. **Q: What are the dimensions of the tin itself (not ounces of tea)?** A: The tin is approx. 3 1/2 wide X 3 1/2 deep X 4 3/4 tall ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best tea ever *by E***J on May 23, 2026* This English Breakfast loose leaf tea exceeded all my expectations.
