Twinings English Breakfast Tea is a black tea blend produced by Twinings, a British tea company established in 1706. The blend contains teas from Kenya, Malawi, Assam (India), and China, though specific sourcing may vary over time due to agricultural and market factors.
The tea is characterized by a strong, full-bodied flavor with brisk and malty notes. Kenyan and Malawian teas are generally known for their briskness, while Assam teas contribute a richer, more robust profile and Chinese teas add a smoother, slightly smoky undertone.
English Breakfast tea is traditionally consumed in the morning in the UK and other countries, often served with milk and sugar, though it can also be enjoyed plain or with lemon. It is caffeinated, and according to Twinings, typically contains around 47-90 mg of caffeine per cup, depending on the steeping time and quantity of tea used.
Twinings offers this blend in several formats, including loose leaf, tea bags, and decaffeinated versions. It is widely available internationally and is considered part of the broader English Breakfast tea category, which varies in composition between brands but generally aims for a strong, hearty black tea suitable for breakfast-time consumption.
