This classic Assam tea is bold, rich and makes a perfect companion to a hearty breakfast. We were looking for a strong Assam tea that reminded us of Indian street chai, and this gem from the Salkathoni estate in Assam fit the bill. American Breakfast is produced using the CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) method of manufacture, which results in these potent, tightly rolled pellets. You can drink this tea plain (it produces a dark chocolate-amber liquor as shown in the photos), or if you prefer, add a dash of milk and a little sweetener. Enjoy hot or iced.

my favorite morning tea!
The bold flavor hits you as soon as you open the packet. A really smooth, bold, tea.
The American Breakfast experience begins before you even take a sip. I always appreciate the rich aroma before enjoying the full bodied flavor of this fabulous tea!!
If exceeding expectations is a measure of success, simple leaf has done it!
'merican breakfast in the aaah-fternoon........yummy :-)
i'm usually an earl grey drinker. let me just say that american breakfast, while its no earl grey, is absolutely the most delicous te a i have ever tried. i'm totally hooked. thank you.
This is a true Assam tea. It has all the required maltiness of a strong and rich tea. I tend to make masala tea with this, and it's a gourmet experience (I used to use Lipton tea bags, and when you use this tea, you'll quickly understand the difference). Thanks for a speedy order delivery and now that I have rewards points, I shall definitely be a regular customer! Great job.
This reminded me of my childhood sipping chai in the morning. I am happy to find this tea in the USA
American Breakfast is an ideal morning tea. It's brisk, bold and really delicious. I highly recommend it with a dash of cream and sugar. I usually drink coffee in the morning, but this is an awesome caffeine kick as well, with added health benefits. What could be better. An excellent buy.
great for breakfast
This has a definite kick to it. It's got a biscuity aroma, and as described, is a rather reddish color in the cup. Of course, since its an Assam, its most definitely malty. A strong tea. I drink it without milk or sugar, although I'm sure you can add it in without affecting the quality of the taste too much. I look forward to buying this again.
Hearty and malty. It's great with milk and a bit of sugar.
A very strong tea with excellent malty notes. My favorite.
This goes very very well with milk. I use raw sugar with it. I also love the packaging. Great teas.
Brisk flavor, strong malty notes, and a pleasing finish. Overall, an excellent buy (and excellent value)
This is high quality CTC tea.
by far, my favorite morning tea
I liked this tea a lot. I infuse it for about 3 minutes - it brews up very strong.
this is one of the strongest teas i have tasted. i like it a lot.
Good with milk and sugar.
a great breakfast tea.
I liked the tea - a good way to start theday. It has strength and a nice colour and really helps me wake up. I use milk and a drop of sugar with this tea.
I will definitely buy more. I drink about 3 cups of this a day!
