English Breakfast Tea is a traditional blend of teas from Assam , Ceylon and Kenya, but more exclusive blends often include Keemun tea.

In British tea culture, one of the most popular and commonly used blended teas, English Breakfast Tea is a black tea blend generally described as full-bodied, robust, and rich. It pairs well with milk and sugar, in a style traditionally associated with a hearty English breakfast.

In the 20th century, tea was drunk almost exclusively for breakfast until 1960. For the UK market, small specialty blends of tea leaves from Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique were the most common and largest exporters of teas, many of which were colonies of England.

There are various legends about its origins, as drinking black tea for breakfast is in fact a long-standing British custom. The practice of referring to a blend as "English Breakfast Tea" doesn't seem to have its origins outside of England, in the colonial era of the United States.

In the past, the British ridiculed the use of tea bags or sachets for preparing tea, but today, due to lack of time, it has become a normal method of preparation. Since the 1960s, coffee consumption in England has also increased, while tea consumption, especially English Breakfast Tea, has decreased. Interestingly, many people have switched from black tea to coffee .
