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.

Fabulous breakfast tea, a lovely rich taste with none of the bitterness you find in supermarket brands. Love the subscription offer, only downside, I sometimes run out of tea using just the subscription 😂

I got the taster pack to try a selection and loved them. Amazing depth of flavour. The tea is made more special by following you and your antics on the croft which always makes me chuckle!
