It was a Scotsman — tea master Robert Drysdale — who created the original breakfast blend that would go on to define British tea culture. In 1892, presenting his bold new creation to Queen Victoria at Balmoral Castle, he gave her something so impressive that she brought it back to London and renamed it English Breakfast Tea. The Scots, unmoved, went on to make something stronger still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis Scottish Breakfast blend is built around four components, each chosen for the specific quality it brings to the cup. The backbone is a 2nd flush Assam — thick, robust, and picked at the height of the growing season when the leaf delivers its most richly malty character. A January production high-mountain South Indian tea is added for its cleaner, brighter flavour notes, which lift and accentuate the Assam rather than compete with it. Keemun Panda #1, sourced from Qimen county in China's Anhui province, contributes a winy, Burgundy-like depth that enriches the maltiness of the blend considerably. Finally, a Chingwo County Orange Pekoe provides what is perhaps the most distinctive element of all — a gentle, lingering cask oakiness that gives this tea its Highland soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt takes milk extremely well. A generous splash draws out the malt, warms the reddish brightness of the liquor, and rounds the whole cup into something genuinely satisfying. These pyramid bags are biodegradable and triangular, giving the blend the space it needs to circulate freely — because with components this carefully selected, it is worth brewing them properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSince 2008, High Teas London has been one of the country's leading independent tea specialists, with one of the largest collections in the country — over 350 teas and infusions — and an enduring commitment to finding blends that earn a permanent place in your daily routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black tea (2nd flush Assam, South Indian, Keemun Panda #1, Chingwo County Orange Pekoe).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scottish Breakfast calls for freshly boiled water — bring it to a full 100°C and pour straight onto the pyramid bag. Allow it to steep for 3 to 4 minutes for a rich, well-rounded cup, or up to 5 minutes if you prefer a stronger, more bracing brew. Milk is highly recommended: add it after steeping so you can judge the strength and adjust to your preference. The triangular bag gives the blend room to move and infuse fully, so resist the urge to squeeze or rush — give it the full steep time and it will not disappoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Metro","offers":[{"title":"20 pyramids   M167","offer_id":7724993773604,"sku":"HI-PY1","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 pyramids   M167","offer_id":41251273048242,"sku":"","price":14.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 pyramids gift   M167","offer_id":41251274686642,"sku":"","price":5.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 pyramids gift   M167","offer_id":41251276947634,"sku":"","price":15.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/2161\/7956\/products\/ScottishbreakfastS.jpg?v=1778163761","url":"https:\/\/highteas.co.uk\/products\/scottish-breakfast-pyramid-tea-bags","provider":"High Teas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
