Black tea is a type of tea produced from the camellia sinensis plant that is highly oxidized, resulting in a dark reddish-gold hue, a hearty, slightly astringent flavor, and a moderate amount of caffeine.
Twining black tea is a great natural drink for third-shift workers who find it difficult to stay awake once the sun goes down. And of course, it's a good complimentary beverage to a substantial breakfast like those often prepared in England. Thus its name:
English breakfast tea is a black tea blend usually described as full-bodied, robust, rich and blended to go well with milk and sugar, in a style traditionally associated with a hearty English breakfast.
