Why Tea Drinkers Choose This Blend

The draw of a truly excellent English breakfast black tea lies in its balance: enough strength to energize your morning, yet smooth enough to enjoy without cream or sugar. This Harney & Sons blend achieves that equilibrium through organic Chinese Keemun tea, a varietal valued for its naturally full-bodied character and clean finish.

What Sets This Tea Apart

Harney & Sons Fine Teas sources organic leaves that steep into a distinctly robust brew, the hallmark of authentic English breakfast black tea. This blend carries genuine depth—not a light morning option, but a full-flavored cup built to complement breakfast foods, hold its character in milk, and remain satisfying through multiple infusions. The complexity comes through in every steep, giving you consistency from your first cup to your fiftieth.

Understanding English Breakfast Tea Caffeine Levels

Black tea varieties like this one contain significantly more caffeine than green or white tea alternatives. If you're wondering how much caffeine is in English breakfast tea, expect a substantial natural boost—typically 40-70 mg per sachet depending on your steeping time and water temperature. Longer steeps intensify both the flavor depth and caffeine extraction, making this ideal for those seeking sustained morning energy without requiring additional stimulants.

50 Individual Sachets for Daily Convenience

Each sachet brews one full 12-ounce cup, eliminating guesswork and cleanup. The individual wrapping preserves freshness and flavor until you're ready to brew, while the resealable bag keeps remaining sachets protected from air and light exposure. This format makes it effortless to enjoy a quality cup at home, at the office, or while traveling—no infuser or loose leaf cleanup required.
