What’s in it
Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.
The maltiest black tea there is, and the reason your breakfast cup tastes the way it does. Assam grows on the floodplain of the Brahmaputra — lowland, at or near sea level, in monsoon rain of 250 to 300 mm a day and daytime heat...
Malt, biscuit and dark amber; brisk and full-bodied, honey in the tippy grades
Indonesian black tea, from the highlands of North Sumatra. It is a full, earthy, fairly brisk black tea, and it is the kind that most often ends up in a blend rather than under its own name — which is exactly what it is doing...
Full and earthy with a brisk finish; a blending tea rather than a solo one
Morning fuel that punches above its weight. Pair with a hearty breakfast or a Sunday roast. Our Montreal Steak Spice and a good cut of beef is the move.

My previous review had me celebrating the warmth and comfort of my beautiful Scottish breakfast tea. I just tried it as an iced tea for the first time and on a hot day, with lemon and a little bit of sweetener, there's no better way to cool down! I will start experimenting with iced tea varieties of some of the other blends I have purchased from you. I also appreciate the couple of samples you included in my package! What a great idea and a perfect way for me to sample other great teas! Thank you!

This Scottish Breakfast blend is robust, comforting and my go-to for the first cup of the day. It is so flavorful and the aroma is rich and nostalgic. Sometimes I'll add a touch of milk but it is an easy drinking tea that is great as is. I'm so glad I could replenish my supply! Thank you Tea & Spice Shoppe! This Toronto fan loves your tea!
