Twinings English Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea Tin, 7.05 oz — Full‑Bodied Assam & Kenyan Blend, Resealable Metal Caddy

This loose-leaf English Breakfast blend brings together carefully selected black teas to create a balanced, lively brew. Packaged in a durable metal tin, the tea is caffeinated and crafted from Assam and Kenyan leaves to give body and briskness. The tin protects aroma and freshness while the loose-leaf format lets you control strength and steeping for your preferred cup.

What flavor can I expect from this English Breakfast blend?

You can expect a full-bodied, brisk profile with malty notes from Assam and bright, lively layers from Kenyan teas. It’s robust enough to stand up to milk and sugar yet smooth when drunk plain. The blend is designed for a classic breakfast-style cup with clear, confident character.

• Full-bodied base from Assam black tea for malty depth
• Bright, brisk top notes from Kenyan black leaves
• Balanced blend that holds milk and sweeteners well
• Loose-leaf format preserves larger leaf pieces for flavor

How do I brew the best cup from the loose tea tin?

Measure roughly one rounded teaspoon per 8 oz of water, bring water to a rolling boil, then steep for 3–4 minutes for traditional strength. Shorten steeping time for a lighter cup or extend by 30–60 seconds for stronger flavor. For iced tea, brew double strength and chill before serving over ice.

• Use 1 rounded teaspoon per 8 oz of freshly boiled water
• Steep 3–4 minutes for standard strength; adjust to taste
• Add milk and sugar as desired or serve plain
• For iced tea, brew stronger and cool before pouring over ice

How is the tea packaged and how does that affect freshness?

The 7.05-ounce loose tea is stored in a metal tin that shields leaves from light, air, and moisture—key factors that degrade flavor. The sturdy caddy makes storage simple on a countertop or in a cupboard, and it’s travel-friendly for taking a favorite blend to work or on trips. Keeping the tin sealed between uses preserves aroma and taste longer than open-bag storage.

• Metal tin protects leaves from light and humidity
• Compact 7.05 oz size fits kitchen shelves and travel bags
• Reseal after each use to maintain aroma and freshness
• Loose-leaf form allows visual inspection of leaf quality

Where do the tea leaves come from and what about responsible sourcing?

The blend combines black teas from Assam and Kenya chosen for complementary flavor characteristics. Twinings participates in sourcing programs focused on improving community access to water and sanitation, supporting women’s empowerment, and strengthening local incomes. That sourcing approach aims to promote more resilient supply chains and better livelihoods for tea-growing communities.

• Blend includes Assam and Kenyan black teas for balanced flavor
• Twinings supports programs for water, sanitation, and income growth
• Responsible sourcing practices improve community resilience
• Loose-leaf selection allows traceability of leaf types in the blend

Who is this for? This Twinings English Breakfast Loose Tea Tin suits tea drinkers who prefer control over strength and ceremony in their cup: from home brewers who value loose leaves to commuters wanting a reliable travel-friendly tin. It’s appropriate for anyone who enjoys a traditional, robust black tea that pairs well with milk or stands on its own, and for shoppers who appreciate brands investing in responsible sourcing.
