It’s full-bodied, malty and packs a punch to give you a much-needed energy boost to kick off your day. Whether you’re no stranger to morning breakfast tea or looking for a new caffeine breakfast tea, you can’t miss our selection of breakfast tea at T2.
What is breakfast tea?
ABreakfast tea, typically a British tradition, is a well-rounded blend bold in flavour to give you a bright start to your day. It’s a traditional blend of black tea, typically served with milk and sugar.
Breakfast tea is popular for those seeking a hearty cup to accompany their morning rituals. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday breakfast with the works, your go-to overnight oats or a quick piece of toast in the morning rush, breakfast tea makes for the perfect beverage to perk up your morning routine.
The origins of breakfast tea
Breakfast tea dates back to the 19th century when tea was drunk exclusively in the afternoon. Scottish tea maker Robert Drysdale decided to create a stronger brew, inspiring the English Breakfast tea that would complement a hearty morning meal. The blend quickly gained popularity and became a staple in households across the British Isles. The blend was a malty brew paired with a traditional ‘fry up’ English breakfast, including baked beans, egg and sausage. At T2, our selection acknowledges the rich history of breakfast tea while offering a contemporary twist.
