Description
Our Breakfast loose leaf black tea Yorkshire Harrogate Breakfast Brew is a full-bodied everyday blend of black teas from China, India and Kenya, created for a proper, satisfying morning cup. Rich, brisk and comforting, it brews to a deep amber liquor with enough strength to take milk beautifully — a dependable breakfast tea that tastes exactly as a good daily brew should.
Breakfast Loose Leaf Black Tea Inspired by the Harrogate Tradition
Yorkshire Harrogate Breakfast Brew is an honest, well-balanced morning tea for those who want a cup with body, colour and everyday reliability. Inspired by Britain’s great breakfast tea tradition, it combines teas from three celebrated origins to create a blend that is robust without becoming rough.
Indian black tea brings depth and backbone, Kenyan tea adds brisk brightness and colour, while Chinese black tea smooths the finish and keeps the cup rounded.
Full-Bodied, Brisk and Excellent with Milk
In the cup, this breakfast loose leaf black tea pours a rich deep amber with a clean, lively character. Taken black, it has a lightly astringent edge and a brisk finish that feels direct and refreshing.
Add a splash of milk and the blend opens beautifully. The colour softens to a warm golden amber, the briskness rounds out and the tea becomes smooth, comforting and highly drinkable.
A Classic Everyday Morning Brew
This is a tea made for the first pot of the day. It is reliable, full-flavoured and easy to return to, whether served with breakfast, enjoyed mid-morning or brewed whenever a straightforward, satisfying black tea is called for.
It is not trying to be delicate or showy. Its strength is in its balance — a good, proper loose leaf breakfast tea that earns its place in the daily routine.

Best Brewed Strong and Finished with Milk
Yorkshire Harrogate Breakfast Brew is especially satisfying with a splash of milk. The tea has enough structure to hold its flavour clearly, while the milk softens the brisk edge and creates a rounder, more comforting cup.
Those who enjoy black breakfast tea will still find plenty to like, particularly with a slightly shorter infusion that keeps the finish clean and lively.
How to Brew Yorkshire Harrogate Breakfast Brew
Use freshly boiled water at 100°C and add one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
A 3-minute brew gives a brighter, brisker cup. A 4-minute infusion brings out more body and strength, especially if adding milk.
Remove the leaves promptly once brewed to keep the flavour clean. A second shorter steep is possible, though the first infusion gives the fullest result.
Ingredients
Black tea from China, India and Kenya.
