Our English Breakfast is the quintessential British brew: a rich and malty blend of Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan teas. We use a high proportion of second-flush Assam (leaves picked at the peak of their quality) to give this tea its depth and complexity. It’s the perfect anytime brew, at its best with milk and a full English breakfast.

Our Great Taste Award-winning Earl Grey includes a high proportion of quality Kenyan leaves to give it a balanced and rounded flavour. This is the perfect backdrop for our exclusive bergamot flavouring, which gives an exotic citrusy twist and creates a truly sophisticated brew.

Also a Great Taste winner, our English Tea No.1 is even more delicately fragrant. Alongside Assam and Kenyan, the blend features high-grown Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka’s central hills – where the island’s finest gardens are found. The gives the brew a lively freshness, which we enhance with a touch of our citrusy bergamot flavouring.

And if citrus is your thing, you’ll love our Ceylon tea. Blending quality low-grown teas with medium-grown, it offers a perfect balance of strength and zestiness. Enjoy with a slice of lemon, serve strong with a splash of milk, or use as a base for iced tea.

Our Tea Masters blend Darjeeling teas from different seasons. The first flush (harvest) is picked in the springtime, when the young leaves have a fresh, floral character. This is then balanced with teas from the second flush, picked in early summer. By now the leaves are more mature, giving the brew its richer notes, often said to resemble Muscat grapes.

Our Evening Decaffeinated Tea completes the collection. This full-flavoured blend features black teas that have been decaffeinated with a harmless solvent-wash process. We favour this as it retains the tea’s natural character. Delicately scented with our bergamot flavouring, this is a lovely balanced brew, perfect for sipping any time of day – even before bed, when only a quality black tea will do!

There are 10 bags of each tea in this collection, presented in six individual boxes, each featuring classic British artworks showing famous English scenes. The teabags are individually foil-wrapped to lock in the teas’ naturally fresh flavours. This ensures every brew tastes as good as it should, and makes it more convenient for you. And it’s all presented in a smart gold-coloured selection box – making it the ideal gift for your favourite black tea lover.
