From the Manufacturer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis tea is a traditional blend of select teas originating from Assam, Ceylon and Kenya. It is one of the most popular blended teas. If there is a grain of truth in tea folklore, then it deserves to be named \'Scottish Breakfast\', as the Scottish Tea Master Drysdale developed it, over 100 years ago in Edinburgh. Initially known simply as Breakfast Tea, its popularity is due in no small measure to Queen Victoria, who, having tasted it during a stay at Balmoral Castle, brought a personal supply back to London. The fashionable tea shops realised its potential and decided to rename and sell it as English Breakfast Tea.\nTypical Properties\nA strong rich tea with an aroma of ripe citrus fruits with pungent overtones.\n\nHealth Benefits\nIs Tea Good For Me?\nNot only is tea soothing and delicious, but it is healthy too. In fact, the American Health Foundation recommends we consume 5 - 6 cups daily because:\nTea\nContains 1/3 less caffeine than coffee or cola - helps reduce fatigue\n\n\nMaintains mental alertness\nStabilizes fluid levels\nIs fat free and calorie free\n\n\n\nThe antioxidant in tea help prevent cancers of the mouth, stomach, pancreas, lungs, esophagus, colon, breast and prostate. The antioxidants in a single cup of tea equal those in one serving of vegetables.\nTea\'s flavanoids prevent heart disease by\n\n\nReducing blood clotting\nLowering blood pressure\nLowering cholesterol\n\n\nA study conducted by Harvard University researchers found that those who consumed one or more cups of black tea per day had more than a 40 percent lower risk of having a heart attack compared to non-tea drinkers.\nNewby\'s Black Teas\nBlack teas have been used in treatment of circulatory conditions for centuries, as they \'relax and expand\' the arteries, thus increasing blood flow to the heart. Drinking a Black Tea such as Assam, also increases the amount of flavonoids in the blood.\nThese are antioxidants, which are like those found in fruits and vegetables. The high levels of antioxidants in teas have the ability to stop the oxidation that causes damage to DNA and turn normal cells into cancer cells. Black Tea can also help prevent tooth decay.\nBrewing\nHow much Tea to use?\nIf you are making tea in a teapot, we recommend using one heaped teaspoon of loose leaf tea or one teabag per person (about 250 ml or one mug/two teacups per person). If you prefer stronger tea, add one more teaspoon or teabag for the pot.\nWater and temperature\nAlways use fresh water in your kettle rather than re-boiling water. This provides maximum oxygen in the water, which will bring out the fresh flavour of your tea.\nFor black teas, oolong teas and all herbal infusions, pour the water the moment it reaches boiling point.\n\n\n\nBrewing time\nHow long you brew your tea depends on how strong you like it but as a starting point, we recommend the following timings for loose leaf tea\nIf there is a lot of tea left in the pot after pouring the first round, either remove the teabags or strain the tea into a new pot. This will stop the tea from over-brewing\nShould I add milk?\nNewby teas are selected for their smooth aftertaste and can all be drunk without milk.\nWhy All Newby Teas Are Unique\nTeas are like wine, if not more complex. Just as all wines are made from grapes, all teas are made from the leaves of the tea plant - the Camellia sinensis.\nAs wines have different tastes depending on where they are produced, teas have different characteristics, depending on many factors. We have to take into consideration all of the following before selecting the perfect cup: \n\n\nWhich variety of the tea plant is grown\nDifferent locations around the world\nDifferent soils in which the plants grow\nDifferent altitudes\nDifferent climates and varying amounts of sunshine, rain, humidity, frost, wind, mist, etc\nChanges in the seasons\nDifferent methods of cultivation and picking\nDifferent methods of processing and how skilfully this is done\nWhat happens to the tea after manufacture - how carefully is
