- Morning cup
- Afternoon pick-me-up

- Iced tea base
To brew a perfect cup, heat fresh, cold water to a rolling boil. Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose tea per person into a teapot or mug. Pour the boiling water over the tea. Allow it to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves. Serve hot, with milk and sugar if desired. It also makes a refreshing iced tea when brewed strong and chilled.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to lighter teas like green or white tea, English breakfast has a bolder, more robust flavor profile due to the darker oxidation of the black tea leaves. It also typically has a higher caffeine content, making it a more stimulating choice. Its malty notes are distinct from the floral or grassy undertones found in other tea varieties.
