Brew tip
If you like your morning cuppa extra strong, add an extra scoop of tea instead of brewing it for longer to keep the bitterness at bay and the flavours shining bright.
Don’t take our word for it
I really enjoyed this tea as a less strong English breakfast
with a some great underlying flavors.
- Marc
This is the queen of teas.
Smooth and tasty with a complex aroma that is sweet and bewitching. It’s moreish and delightful... my favourite tea by far!
- Sarah
Melbourne Breakfast is so satisfying in the morning with a bit of milk.
It is mild but flavorsome with the hint of vanilla. It is excellent if you do not like tea with too much tannin.

Marmalade Melbourne Mule
Enjoy our beloved breakfast tea after dark with this marmalade-laced mule!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons soft brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange marmalade
- 4 teaspoons of Melbourne Breakfast
- 150 ml boiling water
- 30 ml good quality Scotch Whisky
- Ice
- Soda water
- A slice of rind from an orange
- A pinch of nutmeg
Method
-
1In a heatproof jug, add the brown sugar, marmalade and Melbourne Breakfast. Add boiling water to the mixture and steep for 3-4 minutes.
-
2While the mixture is steeping, fill a highball glass with ice and add Scotch Whisky (we use Scotch for this as it has more peaty, deep flavours than Irish Whisky).
-
3Strain the tea mixture into your highball glass using a fine sieve to fill just over half your glass. Top with soda water, a twist of orange peel and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
For the coldest months when you need something extra warming, this drink can be transformed into a Melbourne Toddy. Simply replace the brown sugar with one teaspoon of honey, double the amount of boiling water, and strain the whole lot into a heatproof glass or mug with the whisky, nutmeg and orange.
