Winchester Breakfast Tea is a rich Assam TGFOP1 for the perfect start to the day. It has a full rich and malty taste, and is the best breakfast Assam tea we have tasted yet and produces a delicious cup of tea even in hard water - which is why we have given it the name of our city. Excellent with a dash of milk, calling to mind cathedral bells, cobbled streets, and the wonder of a little tea shop hidden in plain sight.

More About the Assam in Winchester Breakfast

Assam is the largest tea growing area in the world, where 2,000 gardens can produce almost 450,000 tons of tea each year. Assam tea accounts for about 55% of India's total annual tea production.

Assam is a vast and beautiful area of dense forests and open rolling plains through which the mighty Brahmaputra river runs, carrying rich fertile soil down from the mountains of Tibet to the agricultural plains. Exceptionally high rainfall (sometimes exceeding 10m in just one season) produces a very humid environment comparable to being inside a vast greenhouse - consequently the plants thrive, producing a tea which is very different to Darjeeling. The result is a distinctly full-bodied tea that is perfect for a Winchester morning.

I ordered loose leaf tea but I received teabags

I ordered loose leaf tea but I received teabags. I wrote to tell you about the mistake but you did not reply. Very disappointed after being a customer for many years.

We’ve been drinking Winchester breakfast tea for years

We’ve been drinking Winchester breakfast tea for years. There’s nothing to compare with it for depth of flavour and mellow smoothness. It’s quite addictive anything else for us is an anticlimax.

Malty strong assam tea

Makes a strong and malty cup. Let it brew 7 minutes. Nice. Maybe "Golden Breakfast" pulls ahead with its distinctive flavour, from those long golden strands (visually like an oolong). Will be a matter for personal preference. Possibly a mix of the two is the perfect cup for me....They once made this I recall (a variant of Winchester).
