'''English Breakfast tea''' is a traditional blend of select [[tea]]s originating from [[Assam]], [[Ceylon]] and [[Kenya]]. It is one of the most popular blended teas. It was initially known simply as Breakfast Tea, and was popularised by Queen Victoria.

English breakfast tea is a [[black tea]] blend usually described as full-bodied, robust, and/or rich, and blended to go well with [[milk]] and [[sugar]], in a style traditionally associated with a hearty [[Full breakfast|English breakfast]].

The black teas included in the blend vary, with [[Assam tea|Assam]], [[Ceylon tea (black)|Ceylon]] and Kenyan teas predominating, and [[Keemun tea|Keemun]] sometimes included in more expensive blends. Common brands of English breakfast tea include [[Typhoo]], [[Twinings]], [[Dilmah]] and many [[own brand]]s.

The name "[[England|English]] breakfast" can be misleading to British nationals staying in North America, since many of the most popular brands of English tea bags (including [[Tetley]], [[PG Tips]] and [[Yorkshire Tea]]) do not contain fermented teas (like [[Pouchong]]) and are more often a mixture of Indian or African leaves (often tips) that might be labelled as "Orange Pekoe" in North America.

== Origins ==
Accounts of its origins vary. Drinking a blend of black teas for breakfast is indeed a longstanding British custom. The practice of referring to such a blend as "English breakfast tea" appears to have originated not in England but America, as far back as Colonial times.<ref>{{cite web|author=ZoeAnn Holmes |url=http://food.oregonstate.edu/glossary/e/englishbreakfasttea.html |title=English Breakfast Tea - Food Resource - Oregon State University |publisher=Food.oregonstate.edu |date= |accessdate=2010-12-07}}</ref> An additional account (referencing a period-era "Journal of Commerce" article) dates the blend to 1843 and a tea merchant named Richard Davies in [[New York City]]. Davies, an [[English American|English immigrant]], started with a base of [[Congou]] and added a bit of [[Pekoe]] and [[Pouchong]]. It sold for 50 cents a pound, and its success led to imitators, helping to popularize the name.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.logoi.com/notes/english_breakfast_tea.html |title=History of the English Breakfast Tea |publisher=Logoi.com |date= |accessdate=2009-03-12}}</ref>

'''English Breakfast tea''' is a traditional blend of select [[tea]]s originating from [[Assam]], [[Ceylon]] and [[Kenya]]. It is one of the most popular blended teas. It was initially known simply as Breakfast Tea, and was popularised by Queen Victoria, who, having tasted it during a stay at Balmoral Castle, brought a personal supply back to London. English tea shops realised its potential and decided to rename and sell it as English Breakfast Tea.
