canton 1843
Yunnan Province, Anhui Province, Fujian Province. Expertly blended in the UK by Canton.
This is a tribute to the first tea called English Breakfast, created in New York by British tea merchant and marketing savant, Richard Davies, in 1843. His rich Chinese tea blend took off, as it was assumed to be already popular in England. And the kicker? Davies’ business was called Canton Tea Company.
Ingredients: Black tea (Yunnan Black and Keemun) Oolong tea (Da Hong Pao)
