What’s the best tea to drink with breakfast?

This is a question we are often asked and since everyone has different tastes, here are a few new ideas that might inspire you to try something different depending on what takes your fancy.

Easing yourself into the day or a wake-up call?

Do you need a little kick to get you started? Choose Sunny Morning or the classic English Breakfast – two Indian teas that are both full-bodied and fruity for a delicious and energetic start to the day!

For a gentle wake-up

If you want to avoid theine, choose Honeybush which has honied notes like a gentle kiss, or why not try our herbal tea Breakfast which has earned itself a legion of fans with its blend of sweetness and freshness.

Or for lovers of rooibos, African Grey with its notes of bergamot is a delicious alternative to a traditional Earl Grey…

To drink alone or with your family.

For those who love flavoured teas

Ramayana, inspired by the famous Indian epic poem of the same name, is a delicious blend of black tea and exotic fruit which guarantees a breakfast with a difference. The sweet tannins of the black tea bring out the gourmet flavours of mango and peach enhanced by a hint of lemon acidity. When it hits the tastebuds, a poetry of flavours is unleashed which can be appreciated with every sip for an epic wake up call!

The Secret of the Muses, a soft white tea with raspberry, is the perfect way to start the day in a calm and inspiring way!

Do you want a tea to drink on the run?

Choose one of our tea bags such as our Tonic Green Tea with Mate with its deliciously fruity raspberry notes for a tasty and refreshing wake-up call. So convenient!

Are you looking for something exotic?

Fall under the spell of Masala for Chaï (Gaïa strong), a traditional Indian blend of spices which will surprise you with its incredible aromatic depth and the sheer pleasure it induces. The warm and bewitching notes of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and pepper will wake you with a thousand flavours. You can infuse it and drink it on its own, or serve it Indian style with a teaspoon of black tea, a little milk and sugar. A real treat that goes perfectly with a slightly spicy fruit porridge!

Do you need something refreshing?

For the lightness of a natural green tea to drink with toast, choose Hojicha, a roasted green tea from Japan with naturally toasted and « nutty » aromas or try a green tea from Korea with iodised and mineral notes which are particularly delicious at breakfast. Sencha Fukamushi, with its sweet and creamy infusion, is a real treat for the tastebuds that will help you get the day off to a good start.

For foodies

Treat yourself to a pu’er with notes of hazelnut and salted butter caramel – It’s a secret ingredient for an ultra tasty pairing with crepes or pancakes! The perfect tea to drink when you want to cheat on your old favourite morning coffee!

For those who prefer a savoury breakfast

Choose Persian Love, a subtly smoked Earl Grey-type black tea or Spice Garden, a pleasantly minty and peppery green tea to improve digestion and replenish your energy!

And for a little boost at 10am?

We recommend a ready-to-go matcha prepared in five minutes flat! With a handful of almonds and/or a banana, see what it does for your performance!
