What is breakfast tea? 🫖

Simply put, it’s a blend of full-bodied and robust black tea, crafted to stand up to a splash of milk and set you up for the day.

Our Breakfast Tea range starts with our first ever blend: Brockley Breakfast. Named after our original South London home, it’s rich and balanced, with an aromatic Darjeeling twist. Then we have our classic Kenyan-based English Breakfast - full-bodied and deliciously malty.

We’ve recently welcomed two new additions to the range: Breakfast Brew, made for when time is short, but a good cup of tea still matters, and Decaf Breakfast, delivering all the flavour you’d expect from a breakfast tea, minus the caffeine.

Now just to decide: milk first, or last? We’ll leave that part to you.

Dirty Chai, but not as you know it.

Baristas, this one’s for you.

Darjeeling, wh**ky and a little bit of magic. Meet the winner of The Proper Shake Up 2026 🏆🍸

, Training Manager at , shook things up with his cocktail, ‘Darjeeling Ruby Dram’.

The secret? Good & Proper Darjeeling infused into wh**ky to bring out those juicy raisin notes. Add homemade plum juice (criminally underrated, according to Attila), a little milk clarification for a silky-smooth finish, and some custom-made crystal-clear ice.

A huge cheers to Attila, and to all our brilliant competitors who gave the judges plenty to think about this year 🥃
