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.

Great flavour to it. I’m normally scare the tea bag with the water but even after 90+ seconds in there is no bitter taste.

The Crofter’s Tea is well deserving of its reputation as it packs a great flavour. The tea not only tastes amazing but has the added benefit of coming in bags that are plastic free. What’s not to like? Tastes fabulous and good for the environment. Mòran taing airson strupag blasda.
