LCurator note · True English Tea
A useful in-between cup: an everyday black given just a light touch of bergamot and lemon, far gentler than a real Earl Grey, so it scents the brew without taking it over. The clever part is the balance, strong enough to take milk like a breakfast tea yet smooth enough to drink black, which a true Earl Grey rarely manages. Do not buy it expecting a proper bergamot hit; buy it if you want a slightly more aromatic, slightly more elegant version of your normal daily cup that still behaves like one.

About this tea
True English Tea (T.E.T) Everyday English No 1, in brief.
True English Tea (T.E.T) Everyday English No 1 is the bergamot-lifted sibling to the brand's Everyday Breakfast, a strong everyday black with a delicate citrus twist that bridges a robust morning brew and a gentle Earl Grey. It comes as twenty individually enveloped tagged bags, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as a sophisticated daily cup that drinks more interestingly than a plain builders' tea without going full Earl Grey, and a clear notch above generic supermarket breakfast bags.
The base is black tea from Sri Lanka, India, Kenya and China, balanced with a subtle hint of bergamot and lemon. It is the well-sourced, dependable choice for someone who wants a touch more aroma in their everyday cup than a straight breakfast blend offers, but still expects a strong, milk-friendly British black underneath, the same four-region consistency as the brand's Everyday Breakfast with the citrus lift added on top, the No 1 sitting one tier up from the brand's straight Everyday Breakfast.
Caffeine status: medium to high, roughly forty to sixty milligrams a cup, so this is a proper morning kick rather than a gentle or evening tea. Taste profile: medium strength and balanced, malty black-tea notes lifted by a delicate citrus and bergamot top. What it is: a refined everyday blend that bridges robust breakfast tea and lighter citrus infusion, the easy upgrade if your everyday cup feels plain but a full Earl Grey is too perfumed and floral.
Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature. We run same-day UK dispatch on every order placed before 2pm Monday to Friday. Storage notes, freshness windows and brewing temperature ranges are also published in the detailed Q and A tab below.

Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
Water temperature100°C, just boiled water is essential for full extraction of theaflavins and thearubigins.
MeasureOne bag per 200ml of water for a standard cup; use 2 bags in 300ml if you want builder strength.
Steep3 to 5 minutes; longer for a stronger, milkier cup, shorter for a lighter pour.
ServiceAdd 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 versionBrew 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.
CaffeineContains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
Best withA full English breakfast, toast and marmalade, fruit cake, scones with cream.
