English Breakfast was never designed or formulated all those years ago. Rather, teas were chosen that were plentiful and not too expensive, and 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 black tea from China. Later on, many Brits drank the brisker teas from the British colonies of India and Ceylon, and after the Second World War, when the colonies became independent, the source of English Breakfast for the British became Africa, which is where this tea takes its inspiration.
A family collaboration gave rise to HT: Unique & Uncommon Tea blends. HT is grounded in the Harney tradition of providing the finest quality full-leaf teas and herbs, all packed in a stunning silked tea sachet. You can now enjoy the sophistication of full-leaf teas with teabag convenience.
Each HT tin contains 20 tea sachets.
