English Breakfast is a traditional blend of Chinese Keemun and other black teas. It gets its "breakfast" namesake from its strong, heavy flavor and dark colored brew that stands up well to milk and sugar. Can be enjoyed with creamer and sweeteners. Great for coffee lovers who want to try tea. This tea is sold loose leaf, meaning it will not arrive packed in tea bags.

Not particularly strong but nice whole leaves and not much dust.
I bought this as a replacement to Yorkshire Gold which seems to have gone down hill considerably. I bought it because it is described as "strong" and "heavy" but both terms are relative and compared to a regular cup of British tea I would say this is mild at best. I tried steeping fat both 4 and 5 minutes, and also at both boiling (212F) and the recommended (195F). Neither resulted in a decent cup of tea with the lower temperature being very poor indeed. However, if you are after a mild couple of tea, and drink without milk or sugar, this maybe for you - as in terms of other quality aspects it was fine.

Not my cup of tea
As the saying goes, I suppose. It's extremely affordable, and gets me caffeinated (both pluses). The taste is earthy but flat - there's no hint of anything else happening in the flavor dept. In fairness, considering one can easily pay over $100 for a pound of high-quality tea, I don't have much right to complain.

I ordered it and was very pleased that I did
The brand is new to me. I ordered it and was very pleased that I did. The blend of Chinese keemun and other black teas were perfect in length. After brewing a pot I can report the taste is excellent.I'm a member of Prime so delivery was fast. I'm reordering after finishing this review.

Good price, great bold flavor.
Delicious flavor and the strong caffeine keeps me awake for my midnight shifts. I use it in the loose leaf steeping bags.

Great loose leaf tea
Great tea and good amount for the price. I love drinking it hot with some raw honey when I'm feeling under the weather. And it also is amazing for just making a great big pitcher of sweet tea.
