Taylors of Harrogate has been blending tea in Yorkshire since 1886 and remains an independent family company to this day. Their Scottish Breakfast was originally crafted for Scotland's famously soft water - a blend of Indian and African teas specifically chosen and proportioned to produce the best possible cup in Scotland's mineral-light water supply. The same soft water blending philosophy that Brodies, Edinburgh Tea, and Nambarrie all share. Rainforest Alliance certified. Carbon neutral certified. Individually wrapped. Strong, malty, and full-bodied with a bold, satisfying finish. One of the most robust teas in the Taylors range - this is a serious morning cup with real backbone. Holds up completely to milk and still has character to spare. Built for those who want a proper strong cup to start the day. If you enjoy Taylors Scottish Breakfast, our Scotch and Abram's Scottish Breakfast is our take on that same bold Scottish character - FBOP grade, full-bodied, and built to start the day. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 4 to 5 minutes for full strength. Add milk. This tea is built for it. A longer steep brings out the full malty character. How does it compare? Similar to Brodies Scottish Breakfast Similar to Edinburgh Scottish Breakfast Similar to Nambarrie Brodies and Edinburgh Scottish Breakfast are the closest comparisons from dedicated Scottish tea companies - all three are soft water blends with a similar bold, full-bodied character. Nambarrie is the closest Northern Irish parallel - same no-nonsense, milk-forward bold everyday tea built for Scotland and Ireland's soft water traditions.
