Our Review

English Breakfast Tea was never designed or formulated all those years ago. Rather teas were chosen that were plentiful and not too expensive that would taste good with milk and sugar. Something an English person would enjoy at the start of a busy day. So in the early 1800s, that tea would have been a black tea from China. Later on, many Brits drank the brisker teas from the British colonies of India and Ceylon. After the Second World War, when the colonies became independent, the source of English Breakfast for the British became Africa. Nowadays, the English drink plenty of tea from Kenya. Those teas have taken over from the teas from Assam. And what tea from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) has a better pedigree than Kenilworth? It is right and fitting to drink this Royal English Breakfast.

Smells like hay

Average Review:

I just received this tea in January, 2013. I'm not sure if this is the norm or just this batch but there is a strong odor of hay. The smell and taste of English Breakfast is lost in this blend. But I do like Harney's regular English Breakfast.

Love it!

Average Review:

Another fan--found this at Barnes & Noble. A great tea in the mornings. I prefer mine very sweet with half and half. I'd also like to buy this in larger sizes!

I drank Twinings English breakfast tea a few times a weeks for the last 20 years. After having this I can never go back!

Excellent tea

Average Review:

I really enjoy the black tea, it is of exceptional quality. I wish I could by it in a loose format.

Not sure why

Average Review:

but I really dislike this tea, while the regular English Breakfast made by Harney and Sons is my favorite anywhere. The royal english breakfast reminds me a lot of Twinings. So if you like that, then this will be good for you.
