Fortnum & Mason Breakfast Blend Tea – English Black Tea 125g

Fortnum & Mason's Breakfast Blend is a distinguished English black tea, crafted to the house's exacting standards since 1707. This 125-gram tin holds a carefully balanced mix of Assam and Ceylon teas, designed to deliver a robust, malty cup with a smooth finish — the kind of tea that settles into a proper morning ritual.

About this product

The blend combines the full body of Assam with the brighter notes of Ceylon, creating a tea that stands up to milk and a splash of honey without losing character. Fortnum & Mason sources and assembles these leaves in London, respecting the heritage of one of the world's oldest tea merchants. Each infusion yields a warm amber liquor with a rounded, slightly sweet undertone.

How to enjoy

• Brew one teaspoon per cup in freshly boiled water; steep 3–4 minutes
• Serve with a splash of cold milk and a touch of honey or sugar
• Pair with buttered toast, scones, or a full English breakfast
• Keep a tin at your desk or bedside for quiet mornings

⭐ Why we love this

Fortnum & Mason represents the gold standard of British tea tradition, and this Breakfast Blend exemplifies why Spanish tea lovers appreciate British craftsmanship as much as their own culinary heritage. The balance of robust Assam and delicate Ceylon reflects decades of tea-merchant expertise — a pairing philosophy not unlike how Spanish bodegas craft their house blends.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Perfect for a leisurely Spanish-style morning with churros dipped in hot chocolate, or pair with jamón ibérico on toasted pan integral for a cross-cultural breakfast. The malty sweetness also complements Spanish almond pastries (turrón or ensaimadas) beautifully.

📍 From Spain

While Fortnum & Mason has stewarded this blend in London since 1707, we source this iconic English tea through El Corte Inglés — Spain's premier department store — ensuring you receive an authentic product with the same exacting standards applied to our Spanish gourmet selections. A testament to how Europe's finest producers are celebrated across borders.
