English Breakfast is one of the jewels in the British tea crown. Bold, satisfying and deliciously smooth, it's the perfect cuppa – any time of the day. To make this blend, our Tea Masters balance malty Indian Assam with brisk Ceylon and bright Kenyan teas. We use a high proportion of second flush Assam (leaves picked at the peak of their quality) to create an invigorating brew full of rich, comforting flavours. Wherever your day takes you, a cup of our English Breakfast Tea helps get you there. So whether you drink it in the morning with breakfast, enjoy it for elevenses or sip it as an afternoon reviver, we bring you a robust, aromatic tea in every cup. Just add a splash of milk (and a full English breakfast) to start your day the Ahmad Tea way.

Our English Tea No.1 is a unique blend of elegant black teas with a subtle hint of bergamot. A delightfully balanced cuppa, it’s perfect for those seeking a more genteel approach to classic British tea. Our Tea Masters combine Ceylon, Kenyan and Assam teas to create this blend. They use a high proportion of Ceylon from Sri Lanka’s hilly central tea gardens, where the finest and most delicate teas come from. This gives the blend its brisk, lively quality, which we enhance with a touch of our signature bergamot flavouring. Distinctive yet delicately fragrant, our English Tea No. 1 makes a delightfully uplifting brew. Serve with a splash of milk or enjoy with lemon to bring out the tea’s citrusy notes. Decorative tea caddies arrived not long after tea was first introduced to Europe. They were a way for the wealthy to store, protect and show off their expensive new import. Our pretty all-metal English Tea No.1 caddy is illustrated with William Lionel Wyllie’s colourful 'Opening of Tower Bridge'. A scene that celebrates British excellence seems appropriate for this blend. It’s ideal for storing your blend in a little luxury and being part of the long-established British ceremony of making the perfect cup of tea.

Green Tea Pure is our classic green tea expression. A blend of carefully-sourced quality Chinese teas, it offers the perfect balance between cleansing dried grass notes and soothing toasted flavours. Take a sip and feel both calmed and uplifted at the same time. To create this blend, our Tea Masters source fine green teas from China’s Jiangxi, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces. Known as the ‘Golden Triangle’, this area is renowned for the quality of its teas. Our Tea Masters include high quality Chun Mee in the blend – both silvery tips and leaf fannings. This tea is harvested in the early spring when it has a more delicate, sweet flavour. Chun Mee translates as ‘precious eyebrow’, a name inspired by the curled appearance of the dried tea leaves. With a slightly nuttier taste than many green teas, it brings a lovely rounded character to this blend. Infuse a bag of our Green Tea Pure in hot water and watch the colour turn a pretty golden-yellow, before breathing in the pure, energising bouquet. Green tea has been enjoyed in China for over 5,000 years and is an essential part of the nation’s culture. Unlike black tea, green tea generally isn’t allowed to oxidise, so it retains its fresh colour and grassy flavours. For this blend, the leaves are ‘fixed’ by pan-frying in large woks, a traditional technique that seals in the flavours and natural antioxidants of the tea plant. Pan-frying imparts a delicate ‘toasted’ note which makes this style of Chinese tea uniquely satisfying.

Imperial Blend is one of our most premium offerings – a deliciously complex tea that can soothe, stimulate or satisfy. It's a unique marriage of fine leaves from the world's greatest black tea regions, scented with exotic bergamot. Fans of Earl Grey looking to try a more subtly fragranced and rounded bergamot-enriched tea will love this blend. As will anyone who appreciates a truly regal cup of tea. Whatever your mood, our Imperial Blend is a brew that reigns supreme, any time of the day. To create this special blend, our Tea Masters draw on their years of expertise to balance high quality whole leaf teas from around the world. The blend unites two of India's finest – Darjeeling and Assam – to create a wonderful pairing of vine-fruit sweetness and creamy, malty depths. To this, quality Kenyan leaves add their signature robustness and prime Sri Lankan Ceylon balances the blend with it brisk freshness. While this rounded blend is exquisite as it is, our Tea Masters found that by adding a little of our exclusive bergamot flavouring, the tea's majestic flavours really sing in harmony.
