Cup Characteristics



Rooted in the ancient sociological structure of Scotland's clans, our Scottish Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea captures the robust and spirited essence of the Highlanders. These fiercely loyal and tradition-guarding people, organized along tribal lines known as clans, were well known for their feuds and strong characters. This tea mirrors their strength and vigor, offering a malty, full-bodied experience reminiscent of a good Scotch.
From a blend of premium teas, Scottish Breakfast features 2nd Flush Assam tea for a thick, robust maltiness, January production South Indian tea for high mountain-grown flavor notes, Keemun Panda #1 for a delicious winy character, and Chingwo County Orange Pekoe for a distinct oaky finish. This blend is particularly delicious with milk, enhancing its malty character and highlighting the bright, red-hued premium tea.
