What is the best organic English breakfast tea?
I am in love with Mighty Lear Organic English breakfast tea, but none of the stores in my area carry it. I am not willing to pay the exorbitant shipping fees, so I am forced to find an alternative brand. Any suggestions?
There are a number of tea companies that sell organic English Breakfast blends; you can see a listing of them on my tea site, using the following search: http://ratetea.net/search/?only=tea&style_id=43&organic=1 — but most of these aren’t widely-available teas; in fact, no one has reviewed them yet on my tea rating website, so it’s likely they’re not very mainstream or well-known. The brands that I see that are probably most available is Wegmans (if you live near one), Stash (available in most supermarkets–but they might not stock that particular tea) or Equal Exchange (available in some health food stores and stores specializing in fair trade goods).
If you can’t find a straight English Breakfast blend, you may want to try to make your own blend out of straight black tea. I have a page describing what makes English Breakfast taste the way it does: http://ratetea.net/style/english-breakfast/43/
If I were to try to make my own English Breakfast blend, I would probably use a blend of Assam ( http://ratetea.net/style/assam/31/ ) and Ceylon ( http://ratetea.net/style/ceylon-black-tea/69/ ). Using more Assam will make it taste stronger like Irish Breakfast. So you could try to look for Assam or Ceylon teas.
Also, some companies have cheap shipping. Upton Tea Imports has a flat rate of $4.20 for domestic shipping in the US. Their prices are also very reasonable; they sell an organic English Breakfast and also have a huge selection of inexpensive Assam, Ceylon, and other black teas. They sell only loose tea, but you will really get better tea if you buy loose-leaf so it’s worth getting into.
Good luck!
