Hampstead English Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea 100g

Hampstead Tea English Breakfast is a premium, full-bodied black tea blend crafted for those who appreciate a traditional, robust morning brew. Known for its commitment to biodynamic and organic farming, Hampstead Tea delivers a sophisticated cup that is both invigorating and smooth, standing out from standard high-street blends.

Key Characteristics

• Superior Organic Quality: This tea is sourced from biodynamic estates in the Darjeeling region of India. Unlike mass-produced English Breakfast blends that rely on lower-grade leaves, this tea uses high-quality black tea leaves that offer a deeper, more nuanced flavor profile.

• Flavor Profile: It provides a bold, malty, and rich experience with a clean finish. It is strong enough to stand up to a splash of milk or a slice of lemon, yet smooth enough to be enjoyed plain.

• Biodynamic & Ethical: Hampstead Tea adheres to strict biodynamic agricultural standards, which prioritize soil health and ecological harmony. The tea is also Fairtrade certified, ensuring that the farmers and communities at the source are treated and paid fairly.

• Loose Leaf Advantage: The 100g loose leaf format allows for a superior brewing experience. It provides more room for the leaves to unfurl, resulting in a fuller extraction of flavor, aroma, and essential oils compared to many standard tea bags.

Brewing Suggestions

• Water Temperature: Use freshly boiled water (approx. 95°C–100°C).

• Steeping Time: Brew for 3 to 5 minutes depending on your preferred strength.

• Preparation: Use one teaspoon of loose leaf per cup. A tea infuser, teapot with a strainer, or a French press is recommended for the best results.

Dietary and Allergen Considerations

• Vegan & Vegetarian: Completely plant-based.

• Gluten-Free: Naturally free from gluten.

• Caffeine Content: Contains caffeine (moderate levels typical of black tea), making it an excellent morning or early afternoon pick-me-up.

• Allergen Safety: As a pure tea product, it is generally allergen-free, but always check the packaging for any facility-specific warnings if you have severe sensitivities.

Important Disclaimer

Storage Advice: To keep the leaves fresh and aromatic, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors (such as spices or coffee), preferably in an airtight container or its original resealable packaging. Always check the physical product packaging for the most current information, best-before dates, and specific brewing instructions.
