Twinings famously started selling their specialist teas in 1706 from London’s Strand, during this time the most popular drinks in England were coffee, gin and ale. Although tea had been drunk in China for thousands of years, it had only just been imported to England.
Thomas Twining enjoyed tea, so eventually he decided it was time to share it with England, where his customers enjoyed the benefits for the first time. When selling his tea he sold only the highest quality, and today Twinings maintains that philosophy. Ten generations have passed and Twinings continue to ensure that they keep the quality the best it can be.
Bright, full-bodied and full of flavour, English Breakfast is perfect for clearing away your cobwebs at any time of day.

Twinings Original English Breakfast 100 Tea Bags I drink tea, not coffee. For a black tea, these are SO nice. Maybe I’d fail a blindfold test, but it seems to me this blend from England is smoother and tastier than the regular Twinings blend in the red packets. It may be my imagination, but I’ve switched totally to these for my morning mug and look forward to it. I take some with me in a zip lock bag when we go on trips!
My absolute hands down favorite tea. I can’t really stand the American blend … My absolute hands down favorite tea. I can’t really stand the American blend of this English Breakfast, only the UK one tastes right. I first tried it when I lived in London and now I have to get it from Amazon to satisfy my craving for EB. Definitely recommend this tea for enthusiastic black tea drinkers and getting a box of 100 is definitely worth the price.
Best tea EVER! Best tea EVER! Twinings has some of the best tea flavors on the market. I love the bold, strong taste of the English Breakfast. It would be a dream to have a cabinet full of twinings tea. I’m working on it.
