Novus English Breakfast Loose Tea 250g

Breakfast Loose Tea

Novus English Breakfast Loose Tea 250g is a beautifully rich, full-bodied black tea made from a carefully balanced blend of three premium Assam teas. This award-winning English Breakfast blend delivers a wonderfully robust flavour with distinctive malty notes, a smooth finish and the comforting character you'd expect from a proper British cup of tea.

Sourced from carefully selected tea estates, the blend contains golden-tipped Assam tea leaves that produce a deep, dark amber infusion with plenty of flavour. As a loose leaf English Breakfast tea, it allows you to adjust the strength of each brew to suit your taste, whether you prefer a bold morning cuppa with a splash of milk or a smooth, satisfying black tea enjoyed on its own. The whole loose leaves have room to unfurl during brewing, gradually releasing their rich aroma and flavour.

How much loose leaf English Breakfast tea should I use per cup?

A good starting point is approximately 2–3g of loose leaf tea per 200–250ml of water, which is roughly one teaspoon depending on the size of the leaves. Adjust the quantity to suit your preferred strength rather than simply extending the brewing time, which can make the tea taste more astringent.

How many cups of tea can I make from a 250g pack?

Using approximately 2–3g of loose leaf tea per cup, a 250g pack will make around 80–125 cups. The exact number depends on your preferred brewing strength and the size of your teapot, making this a practical option for regular tea drinkers and hospitality service.

Why does Assam tea have a naturally malty flavour?

Assam tea is grown in the warm, humid climate of northeastern India, where the growing conditions help produce leaves with a particularly bold flavour. The tea's distinctive malty character develops through the natural compounds in the leaves and the oxidation process used to produce black tea. This gives Assam its characteristic richness and makes it a popular foundation for English Breakfast blends.
