Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea

Breakfast tea, a strong black tea blend rooted in English tradition, held profound cultural and political significance in colonial America. Tea drinking was a widespread social custom inherited from Britain, and by the mid-18th century, it had become a staple in American households — a symbol of refinement and connection to the British Empire. Yet tea also became a flashpoint of resistance during rising tensions with Britain, particularly after the Tea Act of 1773, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies. This robust loose leaf Assam blend delivers bready, sweet, and strong black tea notes that capture the essence of this historic beverage.
