Tasting Notes

This black tea has a classic black tea flavour, yet has a mouth feel that is moderately in tannins and cover the tongue evenly. An enjoyable and rewarding flavour of walnut & treacle with a hint of tobacco and aroma of mahogany.

Indulge in our bestseller breakfast tea that makes waking up the best part of your day. This brew blends bold, black tea flavours with rich and silken pure breakfast comfort. Chinese-grown large leaf Yunnan and Keemun mingle to create a full-flavoured and thoroughly rewarding cup of tea. Malty, opulent, and deliciously smooth; it's a Tasmanian artisan twist on a classic breakfast tea that provides cozy comfort, especially on a misty morning. One of our BEST sellers!

If you love this one, try our Premium Tasmanian Breakfast Tea for a slightly stronger, richer flavour (the owner's favourite...after Prince of Wales).

Please note this is not a Tasmanian grown tea. Tea nomenclature is a little odd... English Breakfast tea is also not grown in England, nor is Irish Breakfast tea grown in Ireland. Just in case you were curious ;)

The Tasmanian Breakfast tea is one of my favourites. A tea I could drink all day

Had been given various blends as a gift. When visiting a friend recently (I'm from Qld) we made a special trip to Art of Tea. Purchased Tasmanian breakfast and Australian breakfast. Both are very nice. My preference is Tasmanian. Liked it so much purchased three boxes online, and will be a repeat customer.

Delicious tea and perfect wake up beverage.

This tea has been a favourite of mine since the first time I tried it. So refreshing!

Great black tea.

C
Cat (Australia)

For a mistake this tea is delicious. I was surprised at the depth and complexity of the flavour of this "oops tea". Make it permanent please.

D
Doug (Australia)

Actually, I think this might be the best black tea of the range. Pity it is a one off.

G
Glenwyn Dolan (Australia)

Great service and I love the tea. Lovely shop and friendly helpful people.

James (Australia)

Loving this Breakfast tea - has been a real pleasure and I'm thinking of ordering some different varieties as well now.

T
Tracey (Australia)

What a lovely, soothing tea. I have always used teabags for convenience, but bought this tea because as I get older, I have a bit more time, and wanted to spoil myself. This is a great choice! Delicious, smooth - a wonderful tea! Try it!

Lisa (Australia)

A beautiful hug from Tasmania that tastes delicious and gives you goosebumps of pleasure when consumed at the perfect temperature in a beautiful cup.

True to its name this tea has the upfront heft of a breakfast tea followed by a refreshing breeze that blows away any tannin aftertaste leaving your palate cleansed and ready to wash down cup after cup of this drinkable tea from breakfast all the way to morning tea.

V
Val T (Australia)

This is my next-favourite from Art of Tea after Tasmanian Premium Breakfast tea. Both are delicious.

K
Kerryn (Australia)

The lovely Tasmanian Breakfast Tea arrived so promptly after order, and was accompanied by two little gift packets of Tassie Devil and Mount Wellington Tea. I enjoyed each one of them so much, and so look forward to my morning pot of tea to begin the day.

K
Kat (Australia)

First discovered this tea on the overland track walk I did with the Tassie Walking Co. Beautifully robust brew without too much tannin. Great with milk to start the day.

jeyda (Australia)

bought this on my trip to tasmania in june 2019 and still loving it months later. perfect wintery taste. can’t wait to come back (:

After trying the Christmas Tea in Tassie recently I put in an online order and enjoyed all the teas I chose but this would have to be my favourite. It has a great flavour that I cannot put my finger on but I agree with other reviews that it does not have the bitter aftertaste tea can have. I enjoy it with or without milk. I have also turned my two children into tea drinkers with this tea which is a good and a bad thing if you know what I mean.

J
Judith (Australia)

I first tasted this one morning on Maria Island as part of an amazing walk that we were doing. It could have been the beauty of the bush camp or the amazing air but it tasted unlike any other tea I had tasted. I bought some as soon as we were back on land and now I’m ready for more. A beautiful complement to the start of the day.

Sam Wijngaart (Australia)

I was looking for English Breakfast, but was convinced to try this instead. Best tea I've ever had. Worth every penny.

A
Angela Zimmermann (Australia)

Just delicious. Enjoyed every delicious cup. Uplifting and very refreshing.

A
Adele (Australia)

Really enjoyed this! Went through 100g over a couple of months -- tastes to me like something between English Breakfast and Earl Grey, and while I'm not fond of Earl Grey, this certainly converted me towards that direction! Really disappointed to have finished the last of it today.

Barbie Dupras (United States)

This as a gift From a friend who traveled to Tasmania. It is so delicious I went online to find out how to get more. I am not even through my first cup! It is wonderful. It is so light and not bitter at all. Wonderful taste. Well, I will have to hoard it because I live in the US. So does my friend. I know a few folks in AU though so I will have to work something out with them. Thanks for a great cup of tea.

R
Rosemary Burnside (Australia)

An early morning smile in every cup. Something 'just right' about this blend. Uplifting to tastebuds, cheeks and spirits. I have to order more = I used the tea I bought as gifts.

S
SUE (Australia)

Thought this blend absolutely delicious. Like a full bodied tea, and this blend has that but without the strong, dark after taste. Would recommend to anyone who loves tea with body but no nasty after taste. We love it!

restored my enjoyment of black tea ... converted my husband as well!!
