english breakfast
Steep for 3-5 minutes, 208°F
So, while it certainly sounds elegant, high tea is distinctly lower-class than the leisure-class tradition of having a "low tea" of light snacks followed by a more elaborate, later supper. Incidentally, "low tea" is a phrase that has largely dropped out of popular use, "afternoon tea" is more representative of how the British would refer to the luxurious tea parties of the scones and crumpets variety (as well as more casual afternoon affairs).
The health benefits of black teas are often overshadowed by those of their green counterparts. This stands to reason since much of the original information about teas and health came to us through Chinese research institutes, and China is a nation of green tea drinkers.
Luckily for us, recent studies done on black teas are very encouraging to those of us interested in our heart and cardiovascular health. It seems the theaflavins and thearubigens found in black teas have favorable effects on the cardiovascular system. Reduced risk of stroke and heart attack are two of the most commonly sited health benefits of black teas.
The best tea i ever tasted!!
I have always been a grocery store tea buyer and I came across this tea, and thought to myself I did not know tea could smell this good and when I tasted it "out of this world delicious" now my husband and I are hooked.

My New Signature Tea
I first tried this tea at the Ritz Carlton at Powerscourt in Enniskerry, Ireland. From that moment on I was hooked. I had never tasted anything so smooth and delicious. Like the Irish I take this tea with milk. It's oh so good. I tracked down Tea Forte and order this tea as soon as I returned to the states. My mom had the Raspberry Nectar and was simalarly smitten.

"The tea is full-bodied"
"This English Breakfast tea from Tea Forte is a perfect example of an bold, invigorating breakfast tea. It is a blend of Assam teas, which are known for their strong flavor with malty undertones."

the perfect Tea
I 1st had the pleasure of trying Forte English Breakfast Tea @ a hotel in Las Vegas, I immediatly wrote down the name of the tea, promising myself more of it in the future. Smooth flavor, with relaxing effects for a morning Tea drinker are important to start a day, & this tea provides such characteristics. I am an American raised to enjoy English Breakfast tea, & I promise you that there is nothing about this tea that is disappointing, great with & without milk. Enjoy!

Our Kosher teas are certified by KOF-K. You may download a printable certificate. In general, tea that isn’t pure tea (because it contains other ingredients) is difficult or impossible to certify as Kosher, though we strive to certify every blend.
Our Organic teas are certified Organic by the USDA. Our production facility is certified by IMO-Switzerland, a USDA accredited certification agent. We are striving to source every possible tea and ingredient from organic farms. More teas will be certified Organic in the future.

These steeping guidelines produce the best results for our palates. Use them as a guideline, but you may certainly experiment and find the best results for yours.
