Organic Scottish Breakfast Black Tea
"There are two seasons in Scotland - winter and July." - Billy Connelly. Our Scottish Breakfast is a blended black tea bracing enough to hold up to frigid winter weather or a morning wake-up call. A blend of organic Assam tea from India with other organic Indian and Sri Lankan black teas.
Tea was introduced to Scotland in the 17th century where it grew in popularity leading more than one Scotsman to venture to India and Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) to start tea estates for exporting tea back to Scotland, Ireland and England. Scotsman James Taylor is credited with establishing the popular "Ceylon" black tea. If you like a robust black tea well balanced enough for any time of the day, give this one a try.
PREPARATION: Heat water to a boil 212˚F and add one teaspoon loose leaf tea per cup (apprx. 8 ounces). Infuse the tea leaves for 3–5 minutes depending on taste preference. Drink plain or with milk and a sweetner if so desired.
