Details: There have been two schools of breakfast teas. First there were the black teas from China, which were intense yet still had some mellowness. Then, when the English started making teas in Assam, India, the teas definitely became more assertive and brisk. Paul Harney came up with this blend that combines the best of both schools. It has been a hit ever since.

Dry Leaves: The dark leaves in this blend are accented by the light gold leaves of the tippy Assam.

Liquor: A blend of the red-tinged liquor associated with Assams and the browned liquor found in Chinese teas.

Aroma: The aroma alternates between the mellow cocoa aromas and the brighter honey notes from Assam.

Flavors: A good blend of the roasted malt and honey, and darker notes of cocoa and roses.

Caffeine Level: Caffeinated

Body: Medium-to-full-bodied. This is almost a full-bodied tea, as the full-leaf Assam and intense Hao Ya B create a tea that fills your mouth, although less than most other breakfast teas.

Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes

Brewing Temp: 212º

Ingredients

Black tea.
