Make Mine a Builders started with a throwaway comment at a tea break in 2007 and became a proper British tea brand - developed in partnership with the UK's Federation of Master Builders, Britain's largest building trade association. The blend is hand-picked from estates in Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, chosen specifically for strong color and body. Strong, no-nonsense, and built to be drunk from a mug with milk. Full-bodied and robust with a surprisingly smooth finish. If you want a proper strong cup without overthinking it, this is it. If you enjoy Make Mine a Builders, our Scotch and Abram's Scottish Breakfast is our take on that same bold, no-nonsense character - full-bodied, robust, and built to start the day. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes - longer if you want it strong. Add milk. This tea is made for it. Sugar if you take it. Builder's Tea was made for both. How does it compare? Similar to Yorkshire Tea Similar to Typhoo Similar to Barry's Master Blend Yorkshire Tea and Typhoo are the closest comparisons in the no-nonsense British builder's brew style. Barry's Master Blend is worth a look if you want the same bold character with an Irish pedigree behind it.
