KOO Tea Organic English Breakfast Black Tea, 100g

A perfect breakfast tea with body and full flavour. Harkens back to the days when tea laden clipper ships raced to London.

Winston Churchill, arguably the most notable British Prime Minister in history, was a noted lover of drink. Although he is most known to have had a penchant for the strong stuff, namely whiskey, he also had an immense fondness for a cup of rich tasting English Breakfast. Palate aside, Churchill was also notable for good one-liners. One of his more famous quotes has to do with a nice British cuppa and is taken from a dialogue he had with Lady Nancy Astor, an American who became a member of the British Parliament. It should be noted that the two were not friends! Winston, if you were my husband, Id poison your tea. Nancy, if I were your husband, Id drink it.

Well, luckily for England Nancy didnt follow through on her threat. Had she done so, we certainly hope that she didnt intend to taint a cup of English Breakfast as savory and pure as this Organic variety. This is exactly the kind of tea Winston would have quaffed down by the pot-full. Blended using certified organic teas from India, Sri Lanka, China, and Tanzania; this tea is full-bodied, astringent, with subtle touches of jammy toast. With a little milk and a dash of sugar, this tea makes a perfect complement to a proper English breakfast (the meal!). Heres to Winston, Nancy, and England!
