This English Breakfast tea from Equal Exchange blends black teas from Sri Lanka with leaves from the worker-owned Potong Tea Garden in Darjeeling, India—a democratically operated cooperative supported by Tea Promoters of India. The careful selection and blending creates a robust cup with distinctive malty character, toasted nut aromatics, and subtle vanilla notes not found in mass-market alternatives. Steep for 3-5 minutes in freshly boiled water for optimal extraction, serve with a splash of milk that enhances the tea's natural richness for traditional English preparation, or enjoy plain to appreciate the complex flavor development that comes from supporting small-scale growers through direct fair trade relationships and certified kosher production practices.
