Scottish Breakfast

$5 ~~$10~~ In stock

Tasting Notes: earthy, malty, rich

Description: A hearty breakfast tea designed for the Highlands of Scotland. A robust brew that has an earthy highland taste with notes of peat and earth. A strong black tea with hints of malt, oak, black pepper, hay, and honey.

This bold black tea works well with milk and sugar but can also be sipped straight up if you love a robust and earthy breakfast tea.

Scottish Breakfast differs from the other breakfast teas due to its notes of peat and earth. It is darker and heavier than our English Breakfast, which has a lighter body with a more brisk balanced flavor. Irish Breakfast is malty and smooth with a round mouth-feel and a thick and stout body.

Ingredients: blend of black teas from India, China, Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz boiling water, 205-212°F, for 3-5 minutes

This one’s become a non-negotiable part of my mornings — it’s got that deep, malty richness that actually stands up to milk without turning watery. The earthy, almost smoky highland character makes it feel like a proper treat rather than just a cuppa. Even the second steep holds its own.

The peat and earth notes come through exactly as described, giving it a real highland character that’s missing from most breakfast blends. It’s malty enough to stand up to a splash of milk, but I’ve been drinking it black just to savor that smoky depth. This is my new morning ritual.

I usually drink my tea with milk and a spoon of sugar, but this one stands up even black—that earthy peat note really comes through and lingers nicely. It's become my go-to for cold mornings, a proper hearty brew that doesn't turn bitter after a few minutes steeping.
