Fortnum & Mason Breakfast Blend 25 Tea Bags

Assam tea, indigenous to India's steamy Brahmaputra Valley, is one of the world's oldest varieties. The aptly named Assam Superb has the rich, dark liquor and smooth, round, malty flavour prized by the connoisseur. Full of body and flavour, it is ideal at any time of the day.

This is a robust, malty leaf tea from pure Assam leaves grown in the prized Brahmaputra Valley in Northeast India. The broken leaves make a strong brew with a malty, full-bodied flavour and are much prized at breakfast time. 

A twist on the traditional bergamot-infused blend, Countess Grey is based on well-twisted orange pekoe teas, lifted by classic bergamot and a light orange flavour.

British Prime Minister Earl Grey gave his name to this hugely popular tea back in the 1830s, and ever since it has been thought of as a classic English afternoon tea. It is not a type of tea, but a flavour, made up of a simple black tea flavoured with aromatic and stimulating oil of bergamot. 

Fragrant elderflower is a worthwhile companion to the best green tea, as the complementary flavours combine to create an especially subtle and distinctive drink.

In this classic Fortnum's blend, low-grown Flowery Pekoe from Ceylon lends an uplifting note to the maltier Assam to make a very traditional cup of tea. First blended for King Edward VII in the summer of 1902, Royal Blend has been popular ever since for its smooth, almost honey-like flavour. 

This clever tea strainer allows you to brew your favourite loose-leaf tea directly in the cup. The fine mesh holds back the leaves while the generous size allows the full flavour of the tea to come through without the fuss of getting out the teapot.

For those who have difficulty choosing between our many excellent blends, here are three tasters of our most popular teas: Afternoon Blend, Royal Blend and Earl Grey Classic. Each tin of loose-leaf tea is distinctly different and all three provide a delightful tasting experience.

This special blend was created to mark the wedding in 2011 of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The top-quality Assam is lifted by the addition of a little Kenyan tea - the location of Prince William’s marriage proposal. Deservedly popular at the time of the wedding, it remains much in demand and has now permanently joined the ranks of our heritage blend teas. 

Created in response to a request from the Palace for a smokier Earl Grey, this unique blend combines traditional bergamot with a touch of Lapsang and Gunpowder tea, combining the best qualities of all three
