Top Tip
This is a classic English Breakfast, flavourful; light to enjoy without milk. Or if you fancy a splash of milk, make sure you brew it for at least 4 mins to let the whole leaves properly infuse.

A must for anyone who enjoys a strong black tea. I take tea white, and quite milky - but milky doesn't mean weak. I get a really great strong base with this tea, and after it's brewed it can take quite a splash of milk and still push through

Great British Cuppa
Having tried the sample provided in the Brighton Half Marathon goodie bag I was drawn to the fantastic flavours of this classic English breakfast tea. A great way to start the day with a Great British Cuppa
