My favorite black tea to start the day

This is my favorite black tea; my son-in-law also enjoys it on a daily basis.

Outstanding flavor, robust, aromatic an excellent morning tea. Especially if you are ditching coffee and moving to tea - this is an excellent choice. Pairs well with unsweetened almond milk. Outstanding.

My go to drink in the morning. Love it.

This tea is a staple for me. A favorite for sure!

British Breakfast Black Tea is a very tasty straight to the point black tea. No deceptive flavors except real black tea. I have this when I want plain black tea on the stronger side. I’ll keep this in my Republic Teas rotation. It can replace coffee and makes a great breakfast tea and way to start the day.

First black tea I have used that tastes pure. No aftertaste and consistent with every tin I buy. Just straight forward Tea with no gimmicks and the best taste I have ever experienced in a tea.

I am not a morning person. Coffee has been the way I start my day. I bought this tea because I wanted something with less caffeine than coffee, but still help we get going in the morning. I love the flavor, with a splash of cream. I use two tea bags (1 tea bag per 6oz) and steep for 5 minutes. It is delicious! And it makes me not miss coffee!

I normally prefer Irish Breakfast to British Breakfast, however I got this for free. So I tried it a couple times, and I enjoy it when I don't want a flavored tea (I include Earl Grey in that). It's just a good, high quality black tea. Would recommend.

I have been buying this tea for many years from Republic of Tea and I absolutely love it. Very smooth , not bitter.

Actually very flavorful..I'm not really a breakfast tea kind of person..but this has changed my mind!!

I love this tea. And the color is WOW! BEAUTIFUL! Try it, and I think you will love it too.

A friend hooked me up with this tea as a birthday gift, this is the only tea I drink now! Best breakfast tea ever!

Nice flavor.. like British Breakfast tea and this is the Best one

Outstanding tea!

I bought a certain amount of items from this company and they gave me a tin of this blend for free. Great tea to start off the day.

I love this tea! Decaf is great for drinking all day long and it tastes wonderful as is or with lemon and honey added.

Nice mild tea flavor. Excellent for first cup of the day.

I have long been a fan of a good, hearty black tea. For over a year, British Breakfast has been my go-to tea. I got spoiled, because now, teas that I have been drinking for years just disappoint me. I came on this site to order the British Breakfast in bulk, but may just go with the regular delivery option. Fresh brewed is always best, but this tea even holds up to reheating (I know, this is a serious departure from the Tea Connoisseurs Handbook. Forgive me.) Cheerio!!

I enjoy this tea almost every day. I like rich, dark, flavorful tea and this is a favorite. I brew it with 2 bags per cup, and a splash of (canned) evaporated milk. It's always so lovely....a favorite!

Good, basic everyday tea.

As always love this!!

This is my new daily morning tea. I drink it plain and I love the pure tea flavor. I’m so glad I tried it. I’ll be ordering it regularly.

I like the convenience of the tea bags

This is the best breakfast I’ve ever sipped. I continue to purchase and would recommend it to anyone who like black tea. I will continue to order it because it’s not in any stores near me.

Always buy the large bag!! This is the only tea I will drink!!! Delicious!!!

I have been getting this tea from my local bookstore and there for a little while they did not have any in stock so I found this site. I love the flavor of these teas. Since I do not add sugar they are perfect there is no bitterness with the tea.

The huz and I are tea people, but the huz likes his tea just so. This is his favorite tea.

Absolutely love this tea, highly recommend.

Love this tea. Great way to start off your morning.

"Hands Down" this is my favorite tea. I love the strong flavor and the robustness of the tea leaves in British Breakfast.

Years ago I tried British Breakfast and I cannot change. It is the best! I drink it as iced tea ants now have my sister hooked. For best results I do not use tap water. I only use distilled. It is yummy!

I have used this tea for several years and really like it's great flavor and strength.

I love this tea. It has a wonderful flavor and does not have a bitter taste.

Each tea I have purchased is diversely different but appeals to me at different times of the day. Sipping your teas is like taking a short vacation from the world!!!!

I’ve been drinking this tea for years. I have tried others, even from the mother country and they don’t compare to this one. The taste is consistent cup after delicious cup.

This is probably the gold standard for breakfast tea. Full-bodied and strong enough for great milk tea, yet enjoyable straight as well. Not bitter unless you oversteep it. Great morning cup.

I’ve been trying to find a replacement for the import brand I’d been drinking for years. This is it and I’ve ordered more.

Omg this the best, freshest tea and tastes wonderful.

Love the fullness of flavor. You can taste the tea not a watered down substitute like most English Breakfast teas.

My husband’s favorite black tea. Robust and full flavor with no bitterness. Great way to start your day!

Love this tea! I had to end my love affair with coffee and this tea made it easy.

This is a bold tea that wants to compete against the “wake up” power of coffee. I like this tea brewed dark and served over ice.

it was ok. liked the ease of fixing

My husband enjoys this tea mostly in the afternoon he prefers it to most others and this brand in particular.I always keep in in stock it is one of the few pleasures he allows himself.

I love this simple breakfast tea. It is very smooth and subtle.

A nice classic tea to enjoy any time.

not a favorite of mine

I have been looking for a good strong black tea. This is it. Excellent flavor with milk or lemon. My new favorite black tea..

A very good tea to wake up to. Not bitter like some. Well rounded flavor that sets well on the tastebuds. Strong enough w/o being harsh.

Everything I have I ordered from you has been great. Your service is outstanding and I will continue to be a loyal customer.

I was pleasantly surprised at the relaxing yet refreshing taste of British Breakfast. My new favorite morning and nighttime drink. I was leery of tasting it at 1st because it was FREE when I purchased my Peppermint, Peter Rabbit, and Caramel Apple. So many teas, so little time.

I like really strong black tea and had this in a restaurant a while ago and liked it. The teabags I received have the same great taste I was expecting just a bit weaker than I recall. If I use two bags at the same time I get the strength I was looking for.

This is my go to breakfast drink! Every morning after breakfast I have this wonderful flavored tea. I always add a little milk to make it the perfect cup. After my B.B. tea I have my green matcha tea to complete my mornings!

Deep and flavorful.

Very nice tea. Delicious.

I like it! And, I'm getting three cups off of one bag.

I cannot live without this tea, especially in the winter. This is by far the best tasting tea around and I have it on auto ship. I keep a travel tin in my purse and one at work. I honestly cannot drink another brand of black tea. Nothing compares to the flavor.

I drink a lot of tea and a relative told me to try Republic of Tea. This is my new favorite. I purchased the British Black, Ginger Peach and White tea. all are wonderful.

While I do like the tea quite a bit, I've found that if I steep it too long it gets a bit harsh. Probably will buy again in the future.

I usually have a hard time finding black tea that I really like. This happens to be on the top of that list because all I have to use is a little bit of honey and I then sit back and relax with my tea and a good book.

Not really as strong as I'd like.

Very easy ordering instructions. Accurate order received and now enjoying!

My absolute most favorite tea...British Breakfast. I request sometime back to have British Breakfast available in Non-GMO. I see that it is now available. THANK YOU!

I really enjoy the British Breakfast tea. I received a sample with a shipment of other products and just had to order 3 tins. Very good tea from a very good company.

I love this flavor. It is very smooth yet gives me that energy first thing in the morning.

My husband needed to stop drinking coffee. He enjoys tea. This was the perfect option. He already preferred Earl Grey so when we found the Hi Caf style, it was the ideal choice. He's never missed the coffee!

I keep buying this tea because taste is really good with honey and milk and they use unbleached tea bag, and comes with bulk package. Only thing is it could be little more stronger. Great tea!!

Not really strong enough with one teabag per cup.

This is my favorite black tea thus far. It is my favorite tea offering from RoT. I will always have a tin of this in my collection. I highly recommend it.

This came free with my order. It is a great English breakfast tea. It holds milk well. Its a strong tea, and tastes delicious. I've gone through half of my tin already, I keep wanting to drink this. Its tasty. It would go well with breakfast, or afternoon biscuits and tea sandwiches.

I enjoy this tea. I appreciate the little bit of caffeine it has. I work night shift so my breakfast tea gets si[[ed around 4 pm! Will purchase again

Excellent flavor! I want to try the decaffeinated for evening.

I have tried Many different brands of Breakfast tea over the years but none compare to The British Breakfast Tea. The Tea has a strong, more lively, and Robust, Flavor. With this tea I add sugar and a splash of milk draw out the flavor and its an Amazing cup of Tea.

Simple, elegant, a comfortable routine for me now everyday at noon. A great tea!

My beau is not much of a hot tea drinker, but I read all about this on TROT, and ordered a tin for us both to try. To my delight, he likes it as much as I do! It's a robust cup, but not at all bitter, fruity, or floral. Just a stand out full flavoured black tea blend.

I have been an avid green tea drinker for years, and have recently been looking for something different to add a little variety...this tea is amazing and might be my new addiction!! Although great on its own, it really is even better with a splash of milk or cream. Highly recommend...

I love this breakfast tea for it's smooth taste. I wanted a break from my coffee ritual. And this tea is a nice transition. Wonderful with almond milk or creamer. It's also kind of addictive. But it's tea so that's ok shug, as they like to say in these parts.

A nice hearty breakfast tea.

I love this robust black tea. Perfect as it is in when eating a sweet treat or by itself with vanilla creamer. You will not be disappointed

This is my husband's "go-to" tea. It's his regular beverage every morning, and quite often in the evening. It has lots of flavor, is good and strong, and smells great. We highly recommend British Breakfast!

Great everyday tea, the best for a chilly night. So much better than grocery store tea,British Breakfast Tea is the best I've tasted :)

The first moment I sipped this tea, it took me back to time spent in Kenya and enjoying tea there! I love this tea. It's my favorite way to begin each day!

I have enjoyed British Breakfast tea for several years - it's my favorite for breakfast. Recently I was unable to find it in the store, but now I am quite delighted to know I can order direct, and that is so convenient.

Bought this for my hubby and ended up drinking it all and ordering more for me!!!! Love this for the morning commute and sipping it STRONG! With a splash of cream!

My favorite British breakfast tea. I've tried LOTS but this is my favorite.

I have been ordering British Breakfast for about ten years. While I drink other varieties of tea, this tea is the perfect cup of tea especially in the morning. I buy it in bulk because I never want to run out of it!

British Black Tea is a robust, yet smooth tea. I buy it in the bulk size because I make a pot of it every day! It is also great as iced tea. It takes on any flavor that you add to it as well. I sometimes stir in fresh oranges and mint. Also add many kinds of fruit juices.

My favorite breakfast blend of all. I really enjoy Whittards, but this blend takes the tea!! The Minister's blend is now part of my daily tea.

I'm very picky about my tea having become spoiled by time spent in England, Ireland and Scotland for extended periods. I LOVE this tea. I have saved the tin canisters and just order refill packets now which saves money and i never seem to run short.It is the perfect tea for me.

I received the black tea tin for Christmas and what a treat it is! Loved it and highly recommend it.

The British Breakfast is delightful. I give it 3 starts because it is not organic.

This is, by far, my favorite tea. I love to have a cup in the morning before I start my day.

This tea is perfect for my morning cup. I add a splash of milk and it brings me back to the mornings in England.

It's the only tea I drink. I keep tea bags in my purse and use them at restaurants. No milk or cream, please. Maybe a bit of lemon once in awhile. It's ten.

This is my all time favorite. I always order some of these with every order.

My favorite everyday tea!

My favorite black tea. It starts my day, every day. I can't be without it. It's what tea should be.

I have long been a fan of The Republic of tea, and I love this one in particular! I'm pretty picky about the teas I drink, but this one is definitely a keeper and worth every penny. Enjoy, fellow tea lovers!

This is a full flavored tea that isn't bitter. I've never found a tea that tastes as good as this one.

MY GRANDMA WHO WAS BORN IN INDIA MADE ME TEA AS A SMALL CHILD....THIS IS SO MUCH LIKE HER TEA. I DON'T ADD MILK, THIS STANDS ON ITS OWN, A LITTLE SUGAR. THE TASTE AND AROMA IS A COMFORT THING TO ME...

Very good. Tastes EXACTLY like what I had when I was in England this summer, just add milk! Very good with milk, haven't tried it without it yet, I think it is blasphemy to not put milk in British tea.

Great flavor! Adding milk is a perfect combination. This tea takes me back to what I had in Africa. Delish!

was very good reminded of the tea i drank while in india

This is a really excellent plain black tea. No frills, just tea. I like to pour milk through the tea bag while it's floating in my cup.

This tea is a respectable version of black tea, but it is not strong enough for me - not even if I use 2 tea bags. I must qualify my review by adding that I use a lot of milk in my tea. For those who do not use milk, this tea would probably be perfect, as it has a nice flavor.

I really enjoy this tea any time of the day.

Delicious way to wake up! Nice bold flavor to get the day started. Definitely a staple in our house!

Robust, hearty, never better, wonderful long-lasting taste. I would love to find a less expensive tea (because I drink a LOT of this tea), but I just can't find anything that comes close. Fabulous blend!

I enjoy this tea along with Darjeeling for my morning tea. I switch off. This has a very rich, robust flavor without being overpowering.

I enjoy this tea along with Darjeeling for my morning tea. I switch off. This has a very rich, robust flavor without being overpowering.

Very nice tea. Strong without the bitter notes that some black teas have. I've let it seep for up to ten minutes and it never ends up bitter. Perfect with a little bit of milk to sweeten it.

The perfect beverage to wake up to taste! Can't leave home without tasting a cup of it.

this tea is very soothing to the pallet, and I enjoy honey and goats milk with my tea it has a very creamy rich flavor and brings out the tea flavor for me.

This tea is the perfect balance between warming and cooling. For someone who lives in a hot climate, as I do, this is the tea to turn to everyday for a rich, satisfying sipping experience.

A smidgen of honey and a splash of milk.... Good Morning!!!

only want to give rating

This is my daily tea. LOVE it with a little creamer.

This the best tea ever. I LOVE IT

British Breakfast Tea is so smooth and never has a bitter aftertaste. I always carry a tin with me when we travel.

This tea was a very full-bodied deep tea. The color was perfect and the taste was smooth. The addition of the milk only enhanced the taste. Great tea to start the day.

One of the Best English teas, I ever had :-)

Perfect cup of tea for breakfast or afternoon. Makes me happy, and makes me think how much my Mom would have loved the taste of this perfect blend.

Rich, dark tea for my morning caffeine hit. Never bitter, smooth and delicious! I drink it black.

I'm a fan of several teas but this is the best one for the early morning. Great with a pastry.

This tea is great with a great price! Even with shipping it's cheaper then what we where buying in the stores!

First had this tea when visiting Ireland and was so happy when I found I could order it online. Best flavor I ever experienced!

I have been drinking this tea for many years. It is my all time favorite. This tea is soothing for my acid reflux and at the same time wakes me up after I have my first cup in the morning. I have tried other teas but none surpass the taste and quality of this tea. It always starts my day off on an uplifting note and doesn't disappoint ever. To sum it up, it's priceless!

I enjoy this tea very much, so why only 3 teapots? BECAUSE OF THE SILLY NAME. This is an ENGLISH breakfast tea. There is nothing "British" about it.

one of my all time favorite teas and the one that got me hooked on Republic of Tea.

LOVE THIS!

We bought this tea at a coffee shop when we were traveling. Just ordered our replacement tea online. A perfect,bold blend to start your day, or end your evening. Will definitely be ordering again! They answered emails promptly, and overall great customer service - would highly recommend!

This is by far my favorite of all the Republic of Tea offerings. Delicious, bold tea flavor for every day, or more than once a day!

If you like a classic tea blend, this will fit the bill, and quite nicely too. Well balanced, moderate tannin and a smooth finish.

Just lifting the top on my cylinder of English Breakfast tea is heavenly, as the delightful aroma rises to fill the nose. Harks me back to tea at the Ritz London years ago. The Republic has been loyal in its preservation of this splendid blend of fabulous tea. Milk and two lumps, please!

Had this tea on vacation...and absolutely loved it! I bought it on the spot at the restaurant and just ordered my first refill. Highly recommend this tea. It is a smooth, flavorful blend.

I like it - smooth, flavorful, but not the same as what was served at a restaurant in a silk-like tea bag.

I sent this tea as part of a gift and wanted it to arrive on the recipient's birthday. I added substantial costs when I chose 2nd day shipping. Republic of Tea uses FedEx as a shipping carrier and they don't deliver on Saturday. The gift arrived 5 days after it was ordered. It would have been nice to have an alert of the shipping constraints when the order was placed as I payed extra and the box was delivered the same day it would have been delivered had I shipped it standard. I was very disappointed in the delivery service.

This is the tea I turn to when I need that extra kick in th ekjpants after a a late night. Goes great with lemon an honey, too.

A robust cup of tea with no bitter after taste is a great way to start the day or to have during the day.

I really like the bold taste of this tea when I first get up in the morning. It is very nice.

Not a wrong note in this blend. Perfect, indeed.

This is the best breakfast tea I have ever tasted. Add a spoonful of honey, and it is fantastic!

This is a very good cup of tea.

A delightful, flavorful tea perfect first thing in the morning. This tea does not become bitter with reheating.

Actually I really, really like this tea. It's the name I find annoying. There is ENGLISH breakfast tea, there is IRISH breakfast tea, there is SCOTTISH breakfast tea! Give this tea it's ethnicity back!

This is absolutely my favorite black "English/British" breakfast tea. I have tried nearly every kind I can get my hands on... some are good, but this one is GREAT! No need for milk unless you like it that way; I have mine with a teaspoon or two of sugar and a lemon wedge. Best wakeup tea.

This is my favorite breakfast tea; yet I usually have a cup of it (in progress!)on my desk all day long to keep me up and going throughout the work day.
