Sir Adalbert’s Breakfast Tea - 25 Tea Bags

A strong black blend, built to be drunk with milk first thing and to stand up to it. In bags, for the mornings when loose leaf is one step too many.

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

One bag per cup, and lift it out rather than leaving it to stew.

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

Twenty-five tea bags. Store in a cool, dry place, away from strong smells — tea and chocolate both take on whatever is next to them.
