Scottish Breakfast tea has a real full-bodied character with a malty flavour and hints of oak. You wouldn't expect anything else from a Scottish tea, so we won't disappoint you! Black tea leaves blended from India and China create a tea that's especially delicious with milk. The Assam malty flavour is enhanced by China Black Keemun Gold and a Chingwo County Orange Pekoe. Aye, it's a grand cuppa tea!

Health Benefits

Protection: Loaded with antioxidants, black tea plays a crucial role in shielding the body against the damage caused by free radicals, thereby lowering the chances of developing chronic illnesses. (1)

Heart: Research indicates that regularly drinking black tea can offer benefits for blood pressure and cholesterol management, both of which are key elements in maintaining heart health.(4)

Digestion: By encouraging the proliferation of good bacteria and limiting harmful bacterial species in the gut, black tea can positively influence gastrointestinal health. This results in better digestion and enhances general well-being. (3)

Mind: Consuming black tea may improve cognitive functions, such as concentration and energy. This improvement is likely due to the presence of caffeine and an amino acid known as L-theanine in the tea, which together can boost mental performance. (2)
