English Breakfast Tea is the most famous tea blend in the world! Is there a better way to start the day than with a freshly brewed pot of breakfast tea?
English Breakfast Tea BOP is a delicious blend of Assam and Ceylon Tea. It has a bold, malty character both in flavour and aroma, as well as slightly sweet undertones.
The term “BOP”, meanwhile, stands for “Broken Orange Pekoe”. This refers to how the leaves have, quite literally, been broken into smaller pieces. The primary reason for doing this is to ensure it boasts a strong, indeed hearty, flavour with every sip.
Our English Breakfast Tea BOP offers this and much, much more. Why not discover its true potential today?
The History of English Breakfast Tea
This blend has long had a close association with English upper-class gentry. However, it likely originated from Scotland! Some records suggest that it was a Tea master called Robert Drysdale who first came up with the concept, dubbing his creation “Breakfast Tea”. The name of it, in fact, only changed after Queen Victoria paid a visit to the Scotsman, resulting in the word “English” being added to it!
Yet there is another theory – one that alludes to Breakfast Tea first coming into existence in the US! According to this tale, it was the brainchild of Richard Davies, an American living in New York City in 1843. Davies, attempting to lure a somewhat “classier” clientele, decided the name “English Breakfast Tea” would prove popular. If this story is to be believed, then he certainly wasn’t wrong!
Whatever the truth of its origins might be, one thing remains certain: English Breakfast Tea is the most famous Tea blend in the world.
