Flavour

Strong, malty and full.

You might wonder how a Scottish Breakfast Tea differs to English Breakfast Tea. Well, they certainly share some traits. Like our English Breakfast Tea, this a rich, deep and rounded black tea blend that’s perfect in the morning and lovely with milk.

Where it differs is strength and maltiness, with those flavors amplified to stand up to big, hearty breakfast dishes. Scotland’s food traditions are often considered heartier than those of England, with some theorizing that this cultural difference has geological roots. The land masses of Scotland and England are believed to have joined over 400 million years ago after separating from two different historic continents, leading to suggestions that their differing geology may have influenced the crops humans later grew in each region.

However this hearty food tradition came about, a blend has been created that’s absolutely packed with high-grade Assam tea, famous for its malty punch. A smaller supporting cast of African teas adds a dose of liveliness and balance.
