  • Description
    Inspired by the type of tea enjoyed in Victorian London when Walter Whittard opened his first shop, we've blended whole leaves from Indonesian Camellia assamica tea bushes with those processed using the CTC (“crush, tear, curl”) technique, creating a hearty, full-bodied and flavoursome brew. Our expertly crafted 1886 Blend has a real taste of authenticity – moreish and malty, we love it with a splash of milk at breakfast.
  • Ingredients

    Black Tea.

    Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Origin: Indonesia

The tea gardens of Java were originally planted by the Dutch in the 1700s. Tea from the region has similar strength and taste to full-bodied Assam, making it perfect for breakfast blends.

Black Tea

Fully oxidised for a rich, robust flavour, black tea is the most popular type of tea in the western world – and for good reason. Its full body and depth of flavour make many black teas ideal for drinking with a splash of milk, while more delicate varieties like Darjeeling express a huge range of complex characteristics.
