Breakfast tea, a strong black tea blend rooted in English tradition, held profound cultural and political significance in colonial America. Tea drinking was a widespread social cus tom inherited from Britain, and by the mid-18th century, it had become a staple in American households — a symbol of refinement and connection to the British Empire. Yet tea also became a flashpoint of resistance during rising tensions with Britain, particularly after the Tea Act of 1773, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies. This robust loose leaf Assam blend delivers bready, sweet, and strong black tea notes that capture the essence of this historic beverage. Show more
