Scottish Breakfast Loose Tea Leaf

Sip an energizing Highlander's cup of tea infused from this Scottish Breakfast Loose Tea Leaf. This tea blend offers a robust, malty tasteful character with bright savory notes and hints of cask oakiness that presents full of life and vigor. Drinking this tea is reminiscent of the Scottish special elixir and a single malt Scotch. This tea is made from different flavorsome components: the second flush of Assam tea that produces the thick, strong taste with the luscious hints of malt, the Keemun Panda #1 that enhances this blend to have a rich winey character, and the Chingwo County Orange Pekoe that gives the unique oaky flavor. Add milk to the infusion to furnish a malty taste and accentuate the brightness of the premium tea with a tinge of red shade.

The Scottish Breakfast Tea is gluten-free. It does not have nuts, wheat, crustacea, eggs, milk or dairy, sulfites, and is soy lecithin-free. This tea is packed at a factory that has nuts on the premises.

The caffeine content of this tea is MEDIUM. This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of black tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 27 to 35 milligrams of caffeine. An equal-sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.

This tea's antioxidant content is VERY HIGH with 7.50 to 9.5% polyphenols by dry weight. The longer you steep your tea, the more polyphenols will be extracted based on the test results of 5 minutes steeping time.

Camellia Sinesis tea when it is brewed longer and get a greater antioxidant benefit when more tea is used.
