English Breakfast Heritage Losse Thee

The story behind this blend is what drew me in, and the tea itself doesn't disappoint—it’s rich and robust without any bitterness. I steeped it for the full five minutes and it held its strength beautifully, just what I need to kick off a morning.

The loose leaf brews up a deep, malty cup that holds its own with a splash of milk, and the leaves themselves are large and intact rather than dusty bits. I’ve been starting my mornings with it for two weeks now and the flavor stays consistent to the last pot.

That story about Queen Victoria and Balmoral got me curious, and I’m glad I tried it—it brews up a deep, malty cup that’s exactly what I want with a splash of milk in the mornings. The loose leaf holds its flavor even through a second steep, which is a nice bonus.
