Great Britain is forever steeped in tea history. Consider the events of the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution, the Opium Wars, the clipper ship races from Fuzchou, China to Portsmouth UK, the Earl of Grey, and of course the English breakfast tradition. This is a blend of high mountain grown Ceylon tea from the regions of Nuwara Eliya, Dumbala, and Uva. English Breakfast tea is full bodied without being overpowering.
