Metropolitan Tea - English Breakfast Loose Leaf

Metropolitan Tea English Breakfast Loose Leaf combines premium black teas harvested across India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, and China to build a substantial morning cup. The blend features carefully sorted whole leaves that showcase varied regional terroir from estates in Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, Uva, Nandi Highlands, Kericho, and Nilgiri.

Steeping produces a coppery bright liquor that releases robust aromatic qualities and a satisfying maltiness. The flavor profile delivers full body and traditional breakfast notes that perform exceptionally well with milk or dairy alternatives.
