Sir Adalbert’s Breakfast Tea - 110g Loose Tea - Tin

A hundred and ten grams in a tin, which keeps the leaf dry and out of the light once opened.

A strong black blend, built to be drunk with milk first thing and to stand up to it. Loose leaf, so the leaf has room to open and the strength is yours to set.

Brew with boiling water, four to five minutes. Made for milk. Brewed short it is thin; brewed long it turns brisk rather than bitter.

Loose leaf: a rounded teaspoon per cup, and take the leaf out rather than leaving it in the pot.

Sir Adalbert’s is a Sri Lankan house, and the range is built on Ceylon leaf.

One hundred and ten grams of loose leaf, in a tin. The tin keeps light and damp out, which a cardboard box does not. Store in a cool, dry place, away from strong smells — tea and chocolate both take on whatever is next to them.
