Morning begins with quiet ceremony — the soft clink of a spoon, the first curl of steam rising from the cup. Harney & Sons Royal English Breakfast brings that timeless ritual to life with a full-bodied yet refined blend worthy of its royal name.
This dignified black tea unites Kenilworth Ceylon and Kenya Milima — two of the world’s most distinguished estates. Together, they create a smooth, balanced brew with the comforting richness of dark honey and a bright hint of citrus. Whether taken with milk and sugar, as the English prefer, or sipped plain for clarity of flavor, this tea feels both stately and familiar — an elegant companion to any morning.

The Story Behind the Blend
Royal English Breakfast pays tribute to centuries of tea tradition. In the early 1800s, English breakfast blends were simple but hearty — strong black teas meant to greet the day with warmth and vigor. Over time, as trade routes shifted from China to India, Ceylon, and Kenya, so too did the character of the blend evolve.
At Harney & Sons, that evolution finds its most refined expression. Using teas from two estates with royal connections — Kenilworth in Sri Lanka and Milima in Kenya — this blend honors the heritage of English tea culture while supporting Historic Royal Palaces, the guardians of London’s most storied landmarks.
