What distinguishes black teas from other teas
What is Breakfast tea?
At Compagnie & Co, we offer a wide range of pure teas. These high-quality teas reveal the full freshness of the natural taste of tea leaves.
Among our many references, we offer a true staple of British culture: Breakfast tea!
After all, how can we talk about England without mentioning its famous teatime and English breakfast?
Breakfast tea is a blend of several black teas, traditionally from India. The British were in fact behind the creation of tea gardens in Darjeeling around 1860, and shortly after in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). As a result, most of the tea consumed in Great Britain came from these major tea-producing regions. This particular blend was widely enjoyed in the morning, which is naturally how it got its name: "Breakfast."
Do you know what makes this blend so unique and what its secrets are?
The British favor strong, full-bodied black teas. As you’ll see below, there is a very specific way to prepare it “the English way.”
How to prepare Breakfast tea?
As mentioned, preparing and enjoying Breakfast tea follows a particular method. Let’s start with the infusion:
How do you prepare this delicious, full-bodied black tea to release all its aromas? It’s simple:
We recommend steeping 2 grams of tea (loose leaf or tea bag) for 3 minutes in water heated between 85°C and 90°C.
You will obtain a cup with a beautiful copper-colored liquor.
But above all, the secret to a good tea is to enjoy it your way!
You can shorten the infusion time for a lighter taste or extend it for a stronger result.
The British like it strong and well-brewed. They then add a bit of sugar, followed by either a splash of milk or a slice of lemon. For an even more indulgent experience, enjoy it with chocolate
Why drink Breakfast tea in the morning?
As you now know, Breakfast tea is full-bodied, making it perfect for an energizing start to the day.
Some even find its strong notes reminiscent of coffee—a great alternative for those looking to reduce caffeine intake.
Unlike coffee, which provides a short energy spike, tea (and theine) delivers a more gradual and sustained energy release—no mid-morning crash!
And that’s not all!
Black tea is rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which help prevent cell aging. It supports blood circulation and helps reduce the risk of age-related diseases. Antioxidants also contribute to better cardiovascular health and may lower the risk of stroke.
Finally, drinking tea contributes to your daily hydration. A well-hydrated body is a healthy body—it helps prevent digestive issues, skin problems, and headaches.
They are conquered !
