About this Product
Our signature breakfast tea is a tippy Dian Hong growing between 1,600 - 1,800 meters in elevation at the densely forested Wa Shan Ecological Tea Garden in Yunnan. China Breakfast is beloved for its mellow character and hints of sweet caramel and raisin. Milder than English Breakfast, this tea presents a deep red infusion that is smooth enough to enjoy on its own or exquisite with milk and honey.

The tea that changed my mind.
For years I thought tea wasn't for me because I disliked every variety I drank. Turns out what I
...
needed was a smooth, mellow tea. While I've found more varieties I enjoy, this is still my staple.

Surprisingly Delicious
I love strong black teas with a good mouth feel. I usually go for Indian black teas like Assam, Darjeeling
...
and so on. I find Chinese black teas are tasty, but often too light for my preferences (especially thinking of Keemun). However I tried this one out and it was amazing! Delicious black tea, strong enough for my taste with wonderful flavor nuances that I don't get in my Indian black teas. If you like Golden Yunnan, which I really do, you will enjoy this one too. I actually prefer the China Breakfast over Rishi's English Breakfast. It's a winner!

Smooth
This is a tasty, smooth early morning tea. Following the directions on each bag is so helpful because
...
it produces a spectacular cup of tea without any bitterness. Great with a splash of raw, grass-fed cream!

Favorite Daily Tea
I mix the China Breakfast with the Vanilla Mint Chai for my daily tea. Rishi has ruined me for most
...
other teas and I realized recently I have forgotten about coffee; which surprised me. I like this tea mix too much to miss my daily cup. Like another reviewer said -- there is no bitter taste if this brews too long, the China Breakfast has a complex malty flavor that has no acidic twang. I like Rishi's Earl Grey teas but I reach for the China B'fast/Vanilla Mint Chai mix every day. The only teas that I have found that can compete are a few specialty shops I find on Etsy that charge much more and the teas at Samovar in San Francisco. I don't go in most tea shops anymore because Rishi tends to be better.

Malty and rich with a mellow, jammy sweetness and subtle accents of plum and raisin
Lively, robust red cup with a brisk flavor and notes of dates and raisins.
