How Does Hyson Premium Breakfast Compare to:

• Twinings English Breakfast: While Twinings uses a multi origin blend Hyson provides a one hundred percent pure Ceylon base for a crisper and more consistent single region profile.
• Yorkshire Tea: Hyson offers similar strength but a smoother finish with lower tannins making it easier to drink all day without a dry mouth sensation.
• Standard Supermarket Brands: Hyson uses high grown premium leaves and follows BRC ISO standards providing a much cleaner profile without the dusty taste found in budget bulk packs.

Brewing The Perfect Cup of Hyson Premium Breakfast Tea, 100 Tea Bags 180g

• Water temperature: 100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
• Measure: One bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
• Steep: 3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
• Service: Add a splash of full fat milk and stir; sugar to taste. The tannins are balanced by the milk casein, which is why British tea is almost always drunk with milk.
• Iced version: Brew 4 bags strong in 500ml, dissolve 4 tablespoons of caster sugar in the warm tea, cool, dilute with 500ml of cold water and the juice of 2 lemons.
• Caffeine: contains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
• Best with: a full English breakfast, toast and marmalade, fruit cake, scones with cream.
