The Blend

Our English Breakfast is a carefully balanced blend of African and Indian teas — two of the world's most celebrated tea-growing regions. African teas bring brightness and body; Indian teas (think Assam-style) add malty depth and strength. Together, they create the quintessential breakfast cup.

How to Brew

• Water temperature: 212°F (full boil)
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes (longer for a stronger cup)
• Amount: 1 teaspoon per 8oz of water
• Best with: A splash of milk and a touch of sugar, or black

Why Loose Leaf?

Loose leaf tea delivers a dramatically better cup than tea bags. Whole and broken tea leaves have more surface area to release flavor, more essential oils, and more antioxidants. Once you brew loose leaf, you won't go back.

Why Black Candle Coffee?

We source quality teas with the same care we give our coffee — because a great morning ritual deserves great ingredients. When you buy English Breakfast tea online, you deserve a blend that actually tastes like something. This one does.

Loose Leaf Quality for Better Taste

This flexibility makes it a smart choice for tea lovers who value quality and consistency.
