English Breakfast – 20 Organic Tea Bags from Ceylon & Assam

English Breakfast by Kusmi Tea, 20 teabags for on the go

The teabag version of Kusmi Tea's classic English Breakfast – identical organic recipe to the loose-leaf tin, just portioned into 20 2g muslin teabags. The strong Ceylon-Assam blend for British breakfast, compact for the office, travel, or visiting guests.

The English Breakfast teabag from Kusmi Tea is the mobile version of the British breakfast classic – the identical organic recipe of black tea from Ceylon and black tea from Assam, without flavorings or additives. Strong, rich in tannins, malty and full-bodied. Instead of loose leaves, this contains 20 2g muslin teabags, totaling 40g.

One teabag per cup, 90 °C, 3–4 minutes

Place one teabag in the cup, pour 90 °C hot water over it, and let steep for 3 to 4 minutes. The result is the same as with the loose-leaf tin: a deep dark red infusion with a full-bodied character, malty depth from the Assam component, and strong tannins from the Ceylon component. The perfect accompaniment for milk and a lump of sugar, in true British afternoon tea style.

For classic British milk tea, steep the bag and add cold milk 2 to 3 minutes after steeping. The tea also goes well with a spoonful of condensed milk or a dash of oat or almond milk. If you prefer to drink it plain, you can add a squeeze of lemon to soften the tannins a little.

Same tea, two formats

The choice between loose-leaf tin and teabag is a matter of situation: the loose 100g tin, brewed in a pot at home, unfolds the full aroma of the whole leaves – more ecological without individual packaging and more economical per gram. The teabag is the compromise for days when you don't have time for the ritual with a strainer and pot, but still want your familiar tea.

The muslin pyramids have a practical advantage over classic flat bags: the leaves have more room to unfold during infusion, resulting in a fuller aroma in the cup. Kusmi teabags contain the same quality leaves as the loose-leaf tin – so no ground-up residue, but the same composition, just portioned.

For office, travel, or as a guest tea

The teabag box is the practical version for situations where loose preparation would be cumbersome: in the office next to the coffee machine, in a hotel or holiday apartment, on longer train or car journeys. English Breakfast is particularly forgiving in this regard – it suits almost any breakfast and snack setting and is a classic that guests reliably enjoy.

The metal tin keeps the 20 bags protected from light, air, and moisture and can be reused as a storage tin in the household after it's empty – Kusmi tins are made from recyclable steel, plastic-free, and durable. Those who prefer a milder, chocolatey-spicy breakfast tea will find the Russian-influenced alternative with Yunnan, Ceylon, and Assam in Morgentee N° 24.

Kusmi Tea, founded 1867

The history of Kusmi Tea begins in 1867 in Saint Petersburg, where Pavel Mikhailovich Kousmichoff opens his own tea house. After the Russian Revolution, the family flees to Paris in 1917. Since 2017, almost all teas are organically grown and bottled in Le Havre. In our Kusmi Tea collection, you will find the complete range.
