Classic Breakfast Blend

Our Classic Breakfast Blend is a masterful curation of High-Grade CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) Assam Black Tea, specifically chosen as a robust foundation and a homage to the revolutionary, yet deeply traditional breakfast blends of countless former colonial tropical countries and island states. It is complemented with a perfect ratio of Premium Long-leaf & Broken-leaf Black Teas sourced exclusively from the misty, high-altitude estates of India. It is a robust, full-bodied symphony designed to anchor your morning with its unwavering strength and sophisticated complexity.

Why we Love it!

Unlike standard blends, this single-origin Indian profile not only celebrates the bold legacy of Assam and the nuanced brightness of Darjeeling; it also honours a morning ritual that has transcended worldly differences for centuries—a breakfast favourite—passed down through generations—a proud legacy.

My Compatibili-TEA:

This blend is crafted for the traditionalist, the individual who views the morning cup not merely as a caffeine source, but as a restorative ceremony. It is the ideal companion for those who appreciate a tea substantial enough to hold its own alongside a hearty breakfast, and for those who enjoy the silken transformation that occurs with a cloud of milk.

Character:

The character is decidedly assertive and brisk. It possesses a regal structure that is both stimulating and grounding. While it carries the "Classic" moniker, its Indian provenance lends it a distinctively rich maltiness and a cleaner, more vibrant profile than multi-origin commercial blends.

Appearance & Colour of the Liquor:

Once steeped, the tea reveals a stunning, luminous deep mahogany hue with brilliant garnet undertones. The liquor is remarkably clear, reflecting a high-quality sorting process that ensures a bright, lively appearance crowned by a golden halo in the cup.

Aroma & Flavour:

Aroma: Inviting notes of toasted malt, seasoned oak, and a whisper of dark honey.

Flavour: A sophisticated palate of sun-dried malt and rich earthiness, punctuated by a delicate, natural sweetness reminiscent of dried currants and cocoa nibs.

Body & Mouthfeel

This is a full-bodied tea with a substantial, "chewy" texture. It offers a moderate level of tannin that provides a pleasing structure and a crisp, clean bite. The mouthfeel is velvety yet commanding, coating the palate with a warmth that lingers.

Aromatic Persistence (The Finish)

The finish is long and remarkably clean. It leaves a lingering malty sweetness and a gentle, refreshing astringency that prepares the senses for the next sip. Its aromatic trail is persistent, ensuring the flavour profile remains cohesive from the first drop to the last.
