Description
Crofter Breakfast Tea was inspired by a little grey fergie tractor. The little grey fergie has lived on our croft since she was born in 1947. She is still a working tractor.
Like the fergie, Crofter Breakfast Tea is a versatile blend equally suited to breakfast, a flask on the go or, (in true Tiree style) accompanied by a couple of biscuits after an already large meal. Leaving it in a teapot on the stove to stew for a couple of hours is traditional, but entirely optional.

What is English breakfast tea?
English breakfast tea is a blend of black teas, strong enough to take milk. Crofter is ours: Indian Assam, Kenyan and Sri Lankan black tea. It works at breakfast, in a flask on the go or, in true Tiree style, with a couple of biscuits after an already large meal.
Despite the name, English breakfast tea started with Scottish merchants. Read the history.

It’s definitely my favourite tea but it is quite expensive so find myself double dipping or only having 1 cup a day

Oh my word, this tea is beautiful! It’s obvious from the first sip that it’s a quality tea. Have subscribed!

It’s really flavoursome tea with a distinctive, satisfying taste. Worlds away from the “teadust” contained in the volume manufactured bags available everywhere. I use a 400cc china tankard, freshly boiled water, 3 minutes on the timer, 1 teaspoon of sugar substitute and fresh cows milk – marvellous !
REAL tea.
