An English breakfast is a cooked hot meal that is considered by many English speakers around the world as the quintessential breakfast. Classically, an English breakfast will include English breakfast tea, which is a tea blend that is specifically designed to pair with a traditional English breakfast. This type of tea tends to include strong, robust varieties of tea which blend together to create a full, rich flavor. English breakfast tea blends are usually available in markets, both in loose and bagged form.
The varieties of tea that are used in English breakfast tea blends vary, but Assam, Ceylon, and Keemun teas are popular, along with some Kenyan teas. These teas are well known for producing robust teas that tend to be dark and strong, especially when brewed on the long side of the brewing window for black teas, which is around three to five minutes. When brewed, English breakfast tea has a very distinctive scent, which often reminds people of warm toast and honey.
