Lords & Ladies Scottish Breakfast

Description

You must rise early, no weapons on the table, and absolutely no chortling—a princess has rules to follow if she is going to uphold the traditions of her people. But while some traditions are meant to be challenged, others are very welcome, like a big plate of empire biscuits and a cup of tea as strong as a cursed bear. This blend reflects the strength of the clans coming together and is steeped in both legend and truth.

A proper Scottish Breakfast calls for a strong cup, so we built this blend around bold black teas with a rich, full-bodied character made to stand up to a hearty morning meal. Like the clans gathered from across the Highlands, each tea brings something different to the table, coming together for a cup that is robust, malty, and just a little rugged around the edges. Strong enough to stand up to a splash of milk and certainly not brewed for the weak-minded.

Whether you’re royalty in training, practicing your archery, or climbing the Fire Falls in search of your own fate, a strong breakfast tea can help prepare you for whatever adventure lies beyond the castle walls. Pour yourself a cup, grab another empire biscuit, and perhaps leave the weapons off the table—at least until breakfast is over.

This tea is part of our Breakfast Tea Collection, bringing a little magic to the world of traditional breakfast teas. Think along the lines of familiar English and Irish Breakfast blends, but with each tea taking on a character all its own. These teas are crafted without added flavoring, allowing the natural character and complexities of the tea leaves to take center stage, sometimes accented with subtle ingredients like spices, blossoms, or citrus peel.
