Rooted in the ancient sociological structure of Scotland's clans, our Scottish Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea captures the robust and spirited essence of the Highlanders. These fiercely loyal and tradition-guarding people, organized along tribal lines known as clans, were well known for their feuds and strong characters. This tea mirrors their strength and vigor, offering a malty, full-bodied experience reminiscent of a good Scotch.
From a blend of premium teas, Scottish Breakfast features 2nd Flush Assam tea for a thick, robust maltiness, January production South Indian tea for high mountain-grown flavor notes, Keemun Panda #1 for a delicious winy character, and Chingwo County Orange Pekoe for a distinct oaky finish. This blend is particularly delicious with milk, enhancing its malty character and highlighting the bright, red-hued premium tea.
