The History of the English Breakfast

English Breakfast tea originated in the 19th century in Great Britain as a response to the need for an invigorating drink that tasted good with milk and went well with breakfast. Initially, the blend consisted mostly of Chinese tea, but with the development of the British colonies, its basis was Indian Assam, Ceylon tea and tea from Kenya. This blend became the gold standard for morning tea drinking around the world.
