The result is a rich, full-bodied tea with a lovely golden colour. Strength and briskness comes from the East African teas, balanced with the maltiness of Assam. Great with a dash of milk and a perfect way to start your day.
Brewing instructions: 1-2 teaspoons of loose leaf or 1 pyramid bag. 3-5mins at 95-100ºC with milk.
Good to know fun fact: The first English breakfast blend actually comes from America! In 1843, Richard Davies, an English apothecary from Hull who had founded a small tea company in New York, made a new mix of tea that he called “English Breakfast”, and the people loved it!
Food pairing: Extremely versatile and perfect with breakfast, whether its English or Continental, cakes or chocolate.

Linton House King Edmund ground coffee - 250g
£4.70
Single origin Sumatra and 100% RFA certified ground roasted coffee beans. 100% Arabica, single-origin and 100% Rain Forest Alliance certified. Complex and fruity, with a hint of cocoa. All-purpous-grind, suitable for filter, cafetiere and espresso. He may have been killed in 869 by the Vikings, but King (later Saint) Edmund lives on in our local folklore and the name of our town. For a while he was the patron saint of England, and we back the campaign to have him rightly reinstated today. So we are proud to have dedicated our most noble coffee in his honour.
