About this tea
Our English Breakfast highlights teas from Southeast Asia to create a uniquely bold yet smooth take on breakfast tea. We have spent years traveling and developing direct trade relationships in Thailand, Yunnan and Myanmar to source black teas from this amazing part of the world which is the botanical birthplace of the tea plant dating back thousands of years. The ancient broadleaf Assamica variety tea tree genetics of the teas grown in this region offer a unique depth of flavor not found in common breakfast teas. Our English Breakfast blend is designed to have the strength and body to stand up to milk and sugar, whereas our China Breakfast is intended to be more mellow, caramel-sweet and is designed to be smooth enough to enjoy straight.

Origin

Doi Chiang Dao

Northern Thailand

There are tea growing villages and areas of forest tea all over the Doi Chiang Dao region between Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in Northern Thailand. Once part of a greater Dai Kingdom that spanned the regions of Burma, Yunnan, and parts of Laos, Northern Thailand is part of a rich history of tea culture that has brought Chinese tea practices and traditions to the area. Home to widespread old growth tea forests, Doi Chiang Dao is an amazing source of oolong, red and Pu’er teas.

Reviews Summary
Customers say: this English breakfast tea has strong, bold flavor with malty notes and aromatic qualities. Many appreciate its smooth taste that pairs well with milk and sugar, while others enjoy it plain. The tea provides good energy for morning routines and steeps well without becoming bitter. Common feedback includes praise for its rich, full-bodied character and consistent quality. However, some recent reviews mention the tea has become dusty and broken, with fine particles that leak through sachets. A few customers find it milder than expected or note packaging issues with bag seals failing.

    Have been drinking hot tea for years. The quality of Rishi tea is excellent. Have bought lots of other tea but they don’t compare to Rishi tea.
