Big, strong and assertive, with notes of malt, leather, spice, and a touch of peat. Not quite as astringent as other breakfast teas. Just rich, dark and perfect for a rainy Portland morning.

Great everyday black tea
Portland Breakfast is a great everyday black tea, perfect for morning or afternoon. It is balanced, earthy, but never bitter. Buying these teas feels like an unnecessary luxury but it’s worth it—and they’re not actually that much more expensive than other grocery store or specialty brands, but a much higher quality product.

Always Amazing
I have fallen in love with this tea and cannot get enough. Now that I've been drinking Portland Breakfast for years, nearly every other breakfast tea I have tried besides Steven Smith just isn't good enough. The blend is absolutely lovely, warm, and perfect for your morning (or anytime). So stop reading this and buy some!

Portland Breakfast is the Top!
I absolutely love Portland Breakfast! A superbly flavored tea, one that compares favorably with the best English breakfast teas, but has an added depth and richness to the taste. I typically steep for six minutes to extract the full range of flavor(s), but even so, the tannin levels remain low and the superb smoothness and perfect drinkability make this my favorite breakfast tea.
