About Dorchester Breakfast

Dry Leaves Dark leaves, cut into small uniform pieces. (Cut, tear, curl)
Liquor Dark brown
Aroma Assertive, sweet-charred aromas like with roasted sweet onions.
Caffeine Level Caffeinated
Body The British like their teas with lots of body, so thick that a spoon stands up. Dorchester Breakfast tea almost delivers this. It is intensely brisk or astringent. Most people like to add milk.
Flavors In London, people drink this tea for its strength; the flavors are secondary, especially if milk and sugar are added. However there are subtle roasted malt notes.
Brewing Time 4 to 5 minutes
Brewing Temperature 212° F

Morning cup of tea
Average Review:

This tea is a perfect replacement for coffee. It is very strong and full bodied yet not bitter. I am so happy we can now have it loose in addition to sachets.

Not a favorite
Average Review:

I'm not sure if my loose sample was mislabeled, but this was not a brisk tea. After steeping for 4-5 minutes, it was muddy and flat. Smooth, but not in a pleasant way. Glad that H&S offer samples, but not the tea for me.

Yeah, baby, yeah!
Average Review:

I've been looking for a strong, standout tea to get my day started with for some time now and I have finally found it in the Dorchester blend. The flavors of this tea may not be as refined and complex as some of the other teas Harney is known for, i.e. the Supreme Breakfast blend or the Earl Grey Supreme, but what the Dorchester blend lacks in complexity it makes up for in boldness and body as every sip is guaranteed to fill your mouth with robust malty goodness.

My search is over!
Average Review:

I have been searching and sampling for years to find a strong black tea with malty undertones since a popular chain coffee shop changed their black tea supplier...and I have finally found it! I love to make this into a tea misto or latte, with 2% milk and dense foam. It is an affordable indulgence and I adore each cup.

One of my favorites
Average Review:

I have been drinking and comparing the different black teas from Harney for months now. This is a wonderful, tasty black. I like the strong, malty teas best. This makes the list!

Strong, bold, satisfying--and convenient
Average Review:

This is my favorite sachet tea from Harney & Sons (and hence my favorite sachet tea, period). It has some of the robustness of Supreme Breakfast with the ease of a sachet. Just what I'm desperate for first thing in the morning. The flavor is bold and satisfying; it may not be complex, but it's certainly not dull. If I can't have Supreme Breakfast in a sachet (can I, please?), Dorchester is a good stand in.

FINALLY! Dorchester in the loose tea version instead of teabags only! Yea!
