Find the Best Morning Teas

Black tea is often considered the classic breakfast drink. These teas were popularized in England in the 19th century after it became popular to incorporate black tea into morning routines. As more people adopted the practice, unique blends that catered to the tastes of tea connoisseurs were created. These blends included Chinese breakfast teas with zesty and intense bergamot and others from regions like India, Sri Lanka, Kenya and more. As tea popularity continues to grow, black tea isn’t the only variety steeped in the mornings. Green teas and delicate Oolongs are delicious ways to start your day as well.

How to Enjoy Breakfast Teas

The variety of teas in this collection require different temperatures and steeping times which is why we recommend reading the brewing instructions on each individual product page or product packaging. We love to start the day with a cup of tea. 

Brew a cup to bring with you on your commute. Or, if you work from home, take a moment to be mindful as you perform a traditional gongfu cha ceremony. To enjoy standard preparation, steep our loose leaf or black tea sachets in your favorite mug of choice to help motivate your mornings, or as an afternoon pick-me-up – referring to the brewing instructions of the tea you’ve chosen for best results.

FAQs

Our teas and botanicals originate from many different countries and continents. Our Camellia sinensis is grown in various parts of Asia where it grows natively, while the various herbs, spices, fruits and botanicals we blend with our teas come from various places. You can find information on the exact origins of our ingredients on each respective product page. 

If you prefer to drink your tea with milk, many of these blends pair nicely with dairy or alternative milks. But if you don’t enjoy milk in your tea then the robust flavors of these teas shine beautifully on their own as well. The decision to have your tea black or with milk is entirely your own. 

At Rishi Tea & Botanicals, we believe every tea journey is unique. The best breakfast teas are the ones that you enjoy the most. Traditionally, teas with caffeine are most popular in the morning to help start your day off energized, but if you don’t want caffeine, opt for a botanical caffeine-free tea.
