When the Brits started marketing English Breakfast, this was the tea they were trying to copy. A classic Chinese black with a smoky flavor and hints of plum and rose, this tea hails from the Keemun Prefecture and is often referred to as the "Burgundy of teas."

Here's what you get:

  • 3 oz bag of Grand Crimson tea (heirloom organic keemun black tea)
Additional Information

Why We Love It

Grand Crimson tea comes from the Zhu Ye cultivar, a tree that produces leaves high in geraniol, tea leaves' main aromatic essential oil. To brew the perfect cup, be aware of the three "Ts:" (water) temperature, (steeping) time and total (amount). Steep one to two teaspoons in eight ounces of boiling water for five to seven minutes. The tea is certified organic in the United States as well as the far-stricter European Union and Japan.
