The leaves used in our signature Palace Breakfast tea are sourced directly from our partners in India and Sri Lanka and are selected for specific characteristics that particularly enhance our breakfast blend.

Our Assam is robust, spicy and full-bodied whilst our Ceylon is fresh, aromatic and complex; when combined these two leaves result in a fresh, smooth, balanced cup that tastes as energising as it feels.

About Palace Breakfast

It isn't possible to pin down an exact date for when breakfast teas were popularised in the UK, but we can reasonably assume that it would have occurred in the 18th century. 

By this time, taking a strong "builders" style tea in the late afternoon along with the evening meal (colloquial known as "tea time" in the UK) was well established among the British peasantry and tea was already well-known for its energising effect.

As usual, the fashion for taking tea at breakfast seems to have filtered down from the upper-classes. Some nobles began to take afternoon black teas with breakfast as an invigorating first cup of the day.

True breakfast tea blends almost certainly began in Scotland where a bolder, stronger cup was demanded during breakfast and this lead to the creation of Assam-heavy black tea blends with a proper kick!

Naming of breakfast teas as "English Breakfast" is thought to have two possible origins; one is that Queen Victoria enjoyed the blend whilst visiting Scotland, brought the tea back with her to London and renamed it to "English Breakfast". The other origin is that it was simply the name given in America to breakfast teas from the UK and the name caught on from there! 

One thing we can say for certain is that by the 20th century breakfast teas had become so popular that it sits alongside builders as the most popular of teas in Britain; with one, the other or both gracing virtually every kitchen in the country!

Even with substantial competition from coffee to become the morning drink of choice for many - breakfast teas are still going strong and a perennial favourite!
