Health Benefits
Black Teas contain an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols that aid in fighting harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals can cause heart disease, cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking tea with its high antioxidant levels may help protect the body by combating harmful free radical activity.
Further health benefits of tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium. managanese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
History
According to legend, a 19th century tea master in Edinburgh, Scotland, named Drysdale coined the name "Breakfast Tea" as a marketing ploy to sell his blends. The idea spread to England where the popularity of tea drinking soared.
Subsequently, tea houses added the term "English" to the name and the classic beverage was born. We have selected a blend of premium black teas boasting a flavor that rivals the smoothest English Breakfast teas, added the name "Americana" and in the process created a modern classic.

Water
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
