Why We Love It

Scottish Breakfast is for the tea drinker who wants a proper strong cup. This organic blend combines two estate assam teas for a rich, full-bodied infusion with classic malty depth and a brisk finish.

Compared with softer breakfast blends, Scottish Breakfast has more presence in the cup. It is hearty enough for a full breakfast, steady enough for everyday mornings, and satisfying enough for those cold afternoons when you want something stronger than delicate.

We especially love it with a splash of milk, where the maltiness rounds out and the cup becomes smooth, bold, and comforting. Drink it plain if you like brisk black tea, or sweeten lightly for a more traditional breakfast-style cup.
