About English Breakfast

The Daily Driver

This is the definition of a classic. While our Assam is a heavy hitter, our English Breakfast is a masterpiece of balance. We blend robust, full-bodied organic black teas to create a cup that is rich and invigorating but consistently smooth. It is the reliable friend that starts your morning right, every single day.

Why It Works

The magic is in the blend. By combining different black teas, we smooth out the rough edges. You get the maltiness you crave and the caffeine kick you need, but with a brisk, clean finish that never feels heavy. It is strong enough for milk, yet smooth enough to drink black.

The Morning Ritual

Brew it bold. This tea was designed to be sturdy. Use boiling water and let it steep for a full 4-5 minutes. If you want the traditional British experience, add a splash of milk and a teaspoon of sugar to turn the deep amber liquor into a creamy, comforting treat.

Why You'll Love It

The Art of Blending: Single-origin teas celebrate a specific region, but blends celebrate consistency. We carefully calibrate this tea to ensure that your morning cup tastes exactly the same today as it will next year.

Craft Your Cup

  • The Kombucha Base: This is the gold standard for brewing Kombucha. Its strong, straightforward nutrient profile feeds the SCOBY perfectly, resulting in a healthy, fizzy ferment.
  • Flash-Chilled: Because it is less "oily" than Earl Grey, English Breakfast makes a crisp, clear iced tea that pairs perfectly with a slice of lemon.

Your Questions About English Breakfast, Answered.

Is this stronger than Earl Grey?

Yes, in terms of body. English Breakfast is designed to be "thick" and malty, making it perfect for milk. Earl Grey is lighter and more aromatic due to the citrus oil.

Do I need to add milk?

Not necessarily. While it is traditional to add milk to soften the tannins, our organic blend is smooth enough to enjoy black, especially if you steep it for 3 minutes instead of 5.

Why is it called "Breakfast" tea?

Historically, robust black blends were designed to cut through the heavy fats of a traditional English breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage). The tannins in the tea cleanse the palate between bites.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are your teas organic?

The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.

The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.

What are the "Refill Bags"?

We designed our system to be sustainable.

Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.

The Refill:
When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.

Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.

Where is this made?

Handcrafted in Oregon.

Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.

Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?

We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.

The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.

When will my order ship?

We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.

  • Free Shipping: We cover the shipping on all US orders over $70.
  • The Carriers: We ship via USPS and UPS. You’ll get a tracking number the second your label is printed so you can follow the tea to your doorstep.
