A full-bodied premium Ceylon black tea with an inviting aroma and a light, fruity taste.
English Breakfast ( Ceylon Tea )
English Breakfast is a premium Ceylon black tea OP1, a high-quality loose leaf tea sourced from the lush tea gardens of Sri Lanka, previously known as Ceylon. The designation "OP1" stands for "Orange Pekoe 1," which indicates the tea's grade and leaf size. The tea boasts a distinctive flavor profile characterized by a rich, full-bodied taste with subtle hints of malt and a bright, brisk finish. It features a complex and aromatic cup, which is both refreshing and invigorating. The tea leaves are carefully selected to provide a smooth, well-rounded experience with a slight hint of natural sweetness. The leaves are long, wiry, and unbroken, indicative of high-quality processing. These whole leaves unfurl beautifully during brewing, resulting in a deep, amber-colored infusion. To brew English Breakfast, it’s recommended to use freshly boiled water and steep the leaves for 3-5 minutes, depending on your strength preference. This tea also works exceptionally well as a cold brew, exuding delightful flavors and aromas when steeped in cold water for several hours. This tea is highly versatile, enjoyed both plain and with additions like milk, sugar, or honey. It's excellent as a morning cup to kickstart the day or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

On the Finer Side Of Dragons
According to legend, the very first dragon appeared to the mythical emperor Fu-Shi in order to right several wrongs that had occurred at the hands of the monster Kung Kung. He was said to have rent a huge hole in the sky, and was a terrible presence who had to be stopped. Luckily the dragon filled in the hole and set the tone for how the world would function for the rest of time. The rhythms by which it lived its life – sleeping, waking, breathing, eating, flying – resulted in the creation of day and night, seasons and weather, and all the familiar patterns we recognize today.
