Scottish Breakfast Pyramid Tea Bags bring traditional Scottish blend strength and rich character to commercial hot beverage menus with maximum operational efficiency. Designed specifically for fast-paced cafés, hotel breakfast service, and corporate catering, these pyramid tea bags deliver an authentic, full-leaf infusion while providing consistent portion control and speed of service behind the counter.
Sourced from high-altitude estates situated between 500 and 6,500 feet above sea level in India (Assam, Nilgiri) and China (Anhui), the blend combines Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe (FBOP), Congou Whole Leaf (CWL), and Flowery Pekoe Souchong (FPS) orthodox leaves. The spacious three-dimensional pyramid structure allows the leaves to expand fully during steeping, releasing a bright coppery liquor with a rich, malty profile and subtle nuances of cask oak. Offering a medium caffeine content (27–35mg per cup) and high levels of natural antioxidants, Scottish Breakfast Tea provides a refreshing, invigorating morning brew.
Each pyramid bag contains a net tea weight of 3g and is crafted from 100% plastic-free, plant-based Polylactic Acid (PLA) mesh, ultrasonic heat-sealed without glues, and certified industrially compostable. Brewed at 100°C for 3 to 7 minutes, it serves exceptionally well either black or with milk, lemon, or mint.

    A STRONG SCOTTISH TEA

    Posted by Claudio Andreani on Dec 24, 2025

    A strong and flavoursome tea with a malty flavour and hints of oak. Perfect for those who like a nice cup of black tea. I take it with just a spot of milk to enhance the flavour.

  Scottish Breakfast Pyramid Tea Bags FAQs

How do pyramid tea bags compare to loose leaf when brewing Scottish Breakfast?

Our pyramid tea bags contain the exact same high-grade FBOP, CWL, and FPS orthodox black tea leaves as our loose leaf blend. The spacious three-dimensional mesh allows the leaves to circulate and infuse freely, delivering the same malty body and coppery hue with the operational speed and precise portion control required in high-volume food service environments.

Are these pyramid tea bags environmentally friendly and plastic-free?

Yes. The mesh is crafted from 100% plant-based Polylactic Acid (PLA) derived from cornstarch, finished with an organic cotton thread and paper tag. They are completely plastic-free, ultrasonic heat-sealed without glues, and certified industrially compostable to support commercial food waste reduction goals.

Does Scottish Breakfast perform well in hard water regions?

Yes. The combination of malt-forward Assam, brisk Nilgiri, and smooth Anhui Congou leaves provides a rich, structured liquor with enough depth to perform consistently across both soft and hard water regions while holding up exceptionally well when milk is added.
