English Breakfast Tea (Light) is coppery and bright when infused and bursting with flavour. The blend is a great tea to be enjoyed without milk, but with full tea flavour notes, it tastes equally as nice when served with milk. A traditional leafy blend of high-grown teas from Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Nilgiri makes this drink the perfect breakfast tea to brighten your day.

Looking for a stronger breakfast tea? We have an English Breakfast blend of Assam, Sri Lankan, and Chinese black teas that produces a stronger infusion with great astringency, is good with both hard and soft water types, and tastes great with milk too! English Breakfast Tea (Strong) - Loose Leaf.

    My new daily tea

    Posted by Robin Laws on Mar 20, 2026

    Having abandoned supermarket shelf teas for the real thing, and after trials with multiple sample packs, I have a spreadsheet, this has become my daily tea. It is everything supermarket tea isn’t. Rich in flavour, aroma, and freshness, itks a good drinkable tea, it’s not fancy, it’s a steady tea, it’s a tea for handling news, good, bad, or indifferent, whatever the news the tea will be good. A full bodied refreshing taste that lingers and refreshes the palette. It’s a tea you could serve to anyone, and they will want more, this would have made a perfect tea for when I worked in a steel mill, it would have washed out the taste of t’mill, given you a refreshing taste of real tea, and kept you going for the day. But you could also serve it to the vicar on the lawn with cucumber sandwiches and a nice slice of cake, as someone finds the prebendary stabbed with a knitting needle underneath the rhododendrons, it’s a rea for all occasions. I find it needs a good seven minutes brew, and a good full teaspoon in the biodegradable teabag. Even eight or nine minutes. This is the nearest in flavour, to my tastes, to a certain popular country branded tea, the blend here puts hair on your chest, and never mind a mouse, I caught the cat tap dancing on that. Oddly, I found the flavour profile of the Light blend preferable to the profile of the String blend, and if pushed would have swapped those definitions over. The water here is very hard, but it doesn’t spoil the flavour of the tea if you give it time to develop, brewing time is essential. I’d be interested to try this with soft water, see how much that alters the profiles of the teas. Taken with no sugar, and semi skimmed milk.

    Review of decaff tea

    Posted by Clive Lloyd on Mar 12, 2026

    I first had Jennier decaff English Breakfast tea in a local tea shop and asked where to buy it. I have just made my sixth repeat order.

    Great Tea

    Posted by Alex Heales on Jan 22, 2026

    I found Jenier Teas after a web search for loose leaf tea in bulk. This is the second 1kg pack I have purchased and the teat tastes great. I drink all my teas black and this lovely with any meal on just for sipping on its own. I would recommend Jenier Teas to anyone looking for great tea at a great price. I also have purchased green and black teas and they also great. It takes me and my wife to get through a 1kg of tea, however so we are looking forward to trying more varieties.

    Great taste

    Posted by John Moores on May 31, 2025

    My wife has recently moved over to loose tea, and is spending a lot of money on a brand that is tasty but pricy. A shop we have found is supplied with this tea but is too far to travel frequently, so I found the sauce. She really enjoys the taste and it’s no different from the expensive one. Will be buying more.

    Really Good!

    Posted by Sonia Crompton on Sep 09, 2023

    We'd tried all the breakfast teas in the wholesale sampler pack we were sent. We thought the stronger breakfast version would be the most popular just by the name, but when we did a tea tasting with a group of regular customers, this lighter version was their favourite. Really good was our top mark at the tasting, so it did pretty well!
