Florapharm English Breakfast Black Tea 250 g

English Breakfast black tea leaves deliver a full-bodied, malty cup that forms the base of a traditional morning service. The blend is composed of Assam and other robust black teas, chosen for their strength and colour when steeped in freshly boiled water.

The process relies on hot water extracting flavour, tannins and caffeine from the dried leaves. Water at 100 °C ensures the leaves unfurl quickly and release their full character without bitterness. A three-minute infusion time balances strength and smoothness, producing a bright, brisk liquor that stands up to milk and sugar.

To prepare, measure one teaspoon of leaves per cup into a pre-warmed teapot or infuser. Pour freshly boiled water over the leaves and allow to steep for three minutes. Strain and serve immediately, or hold the pot at serving temperature for up to thirty minutes without stewing the leaves.

The 250 g pack is foil-lined to preserve freshness and protect the leaves from moisture and odours. Each pack is sized for regular use in a professional kitchen, allowing consistent portioning across multiple servings.

Controls are simple: a kettle to reach 100 °C and a timer to track the three-minute infusion. The temperature specification ensures compatibility with standard commercial kettles and urns.

The pack weight of 250 g provides approximately fifty servings when portioned at one teaspoon per cup, making it practical for cafés, hotels and catering operations that serve breakfast tea throughout the day.

Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from strong-smelling foods to maintain the tea's original flavour profile.
