Mr Banks’ English Breakfast

Description

A British bank is run with precision. A British home requires nothing less. Before heading off to work each morning, one must start the day with a brisk cup of English tea. Not only is it tradition, it is the refined way to lead by example, keep your thoughts organized, and maintain a perfectly respectable routine. Best to keep your tea serious, just in case a little unexpected whimsy happens to blow your way.

This strong black tea blends dark, malty Assam with crisp, dry Sri Lankan black tea for a properly bold and brisk cup. The result is full-bodied and pleasantly astringent, with enough strength to stand up beautifully to milk and sugar while remaining perfectly respectable on its own. It may quickly become your new favorite English Breakfast—and you can take that to the bank!

With a strong black tea base, this brew has plenty of caffeine to help carry you through a disciplined day of important work. But should you discover that life requires a little less structure and a little more time with the people who matter most, there should still be enough spring in your step for some frivolous kite flying in the park.

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.
