English Tea No.1
Aromatic, elegant, and satisfyingly smooth—English Tea No. 1 is a refined blend that brings a delicate twist to traditional black tea. This caffeinated tea combines rich Indian, Ceylon, and Kenyan leaves with a subtle touch of bergamot, creating a cup that’s more fragrant than English Breakfast yet softer and more mellow than classic Earl Grey.
Why do we love this tea? It’s the perfect balance of richness and aroma. With a hint of citrus to lift the blend and a smooth, comforting body, English Tea No. 1 is a go-to for those who want something classic, but with a little extra character. It’s versatile, elegant, and always hits the right note—morning, afternoon, or evening.
Did you know? The number “No. 1” in traditional tea naming doesn’t refer to ranking—it often signifies a house’s signature or foundational blend. English Tea No. 1 is just that: a gentle, aromatic take on black tea that reflects the essence of British tea culture with a modern twist.
Enjoy it Hot or Iced!
The quality of water used has an impact on the quality of the tea. Always use freshly drawn water or filtered water.
Heat fresh water to a rolling boil or to a temperature of 212F using an electric hot water heater or a stove top kettle.
Once the water reaches the appropriate temperature, it should be poured immediately over the tea bag. Keep the teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 minutes. When the tea is done steeping, immediately remove the tea and lightly stir.
This black tea has more caffeine than teas in our green tea range. It's important to keep in mind that brew time accounts for the primary influence over a tea's caffeine content.
