The English even have a saying for it - a tea strong enough to “stand up a spoon.” Especially when we have a full traditional breakfast of eggs, meat, toast, and other salty foods (like a true Brit would eat). This is why our friends on the other side of the pond love this tea. Strong enough to cut through the richness of breakfast, yet tasty enough to drink on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Black Tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edescription_tab\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend starts with three distinct Indian teas. First, we chose an Assam tea that borders the Brahmaputra River. This particular farm is especially affected by the monsoon season where the temperature rises to over 100 degrees, which creates a greenhouse effect that brings out the famous malty, full-bodied taste that Assams are known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second Indian tea is a second flush, mountain-grown Darjeeling. The high elevation gives this tea an amber, medium-bodied tea that has a slight floral aroma. It also has a distinct spicy flavor that is full of tannins helping to give this tea its characteristic bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo help round out the blend, we use a South Indian Nilgiri tea grown south of the Western Ghats mountains. While not a high elevation tea, this particular farm is in the hills of the Nilgiris District giving it a strong flavor with a full body. We were lucky to find a plantation that makes a full leaf tea in this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, we add Chinese Keemun from Anhui Province between the Yangtze River and Yellow Mountains. Keemun has a smooth flavor with wisps of smokiness and unsweetened cocoa. The Keemun really helps to balance out this blend and add a layer of flavor and complexity most English Breakfast teas lack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden Moon Tea","offers":[{"title":"1oz Bulk - $4.29","offer_id":15132002183,"sku":"EB_1oz","price":4.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5oz Tin - $10.72","offer_id":15132002375,"sku":"EB_Tin","price":10.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2lb Bulk - save 37% - $16.99","offer_id":15132001991,"sku":"EB_1\/2LB","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1lb Bulk - Save 48% - $28.77","offer_id":15132002055,"sku":"EB_1LB","price":28.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/9264\/products\/English_Breakfast_Tea_A-alt.jpg?v=1459980435"},{"product_id":"irish-breakfast-tea","title":"Irish Breakfast","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Irish love to drink and drink all day long (tea, that is). But while they may be known for some of the finest beers and whiskies in the world, they actually drink more black tea than almost any other country. So it is safe to say the Irish really know their stuff. That is why we wanted to make this tea as delicious and as complex as their spirits. Big, bold, and malty. A tea strong enough to handle whole milk and sugar, yet refined enough to have subtle notes of fruit, roasted nuts, and honey. This black tea is great to drink all day long and not just in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Black Tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edescription_tab\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most authentic Irish Breakfast teas, ours is 100% Assam. In fact, we chose two of the most esteemed tea farms in the region. The first is the small, family run Tonganagaon Tea Estate, which is found in the Eastern Assam Valley right next to the Namdapha National Reserve. The natural biodiversity of the reserve helps to create rich soil that gives this tea its smooth, malty flavor with notes of ripe cherries and dark prunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next tea we used was from the Dooars region, which is located in the floodplains of the Eastern Himalaya Mountains. This farm sits on a narrow strip of land that joins the Assam and Darjeeling tea growing areas next to the Sankosh River. The result is a briskness similar to a Darjeeling tea, yet the malty notes with hints of hazelnut and honey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden Moon Tea","offers":[{"title":"1oz Bulk - $3.99","offer_id":15132010311,"sku":"IB_1oz","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.0oz Tin - $12.99","offer_id":15132011015,"sku":"IB_TIN","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2lb Bulk - Save 22% - $24.99","offer_id":15132009607,"sku":"IB_1\/2LB","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1lb - Save 30% - $44.99","offer_id":15132009927,"sku":"IB_1LB","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/9264\/products\/Irish_Breakfast_Tea_A-alt.jpg?v=1455707528"},{"product_id":"keemun-tea","title":"Keemun","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you had to pick one person who really knows black tea, Queen Elizabeth of England would be on the short list. After all, she has unlimited resources to find the best tea and she drinks it religiously twice a day (at least). So when Queen Elizabeth is rumored to prefer Keemun tea, black tea lovers should pay attention. Keemun is generally known as China’s finest black tea and has been called the “Burgundy wine of teas.” Due to its complex flavor, this Keemun has strong notes of unsweetened chocolate and a finish of stone fruits. It also sidesteps the really strong assertiveness of traditional breakfast teas giving you a smooth black tea that is tasty enough for British royalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Black Tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edescription_tab\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Keemun is a Hao Ya grade and comes from Qimen County in Anhui Province in Eastern China. The farm is located on stumpy hills between the Yangtze River and Yellow Mountains. After the leaves are plucked in early May, they undergo a long withering (oxidation) process of four to five hours - twice as long as most black teas. The leaves are then rolled and placed in large bamboo baskets where they are stored in a steam filled room, which helps give this tea its characteristic chocolate flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden Moon Tea","offers":[{"title":"1oz Bulk - $2.99","offer_id":15132018055,"sku":"KM_1oz","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.1oz Tin - $9.99","offer_id":15132017991,"sku":"KE_tin","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2lb Bulk - Save 21% - $18.99","offer_id":15132017863,"sku":"KE_1\/2lb","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1lb Bulk - Save 29% - $33.99","offer_id":15132017927,"sku":"KE_1lb","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1107\/9264\/products\/Keemun_Tea_A-alt.jpg?v=1455707297"},{"product_id":"sinharaja-ceylon-tea","title":"Sinharaja","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur owner, Marcus Stout, drinks a lot of tea.
