The Tea Grown in Cornwall

Cornish Tea was first created as a new category when Tregothnan succeeded in growing the first tea in Cornwall in 1999. Tregothnan research and development continued the pioneering success with Camellias (the tea genus) first being grown in the UK here two centuries earlier. Long before Tregothnan filled its microclimate to become the largest tea plantation in Europe, we were dubbed the Cornish tea. The original 20th century research indicated that Tregothnan could produce the first Cornish tea and by definition, the first English tea and of course most British tea in history. A debate immediately ensued among our Cornish tea drinkers who claimed Tregothnan as the home of Cornish tea while the wider world of English tea drinkers also claimed Tregothnan as theirs! Internationally, English tea is famed and respected as a blend but until Tregothnan had grown tea here, no such thing as real English tea grown in England has existed. It was always clear to the Tregothnan team that we are a British brand proudly headquartered in Cornwall, owned by one family since 1334.

Ingredients

Up to 38 different varieties of Cornish Tea leaves grown in Tregothnan’s pioneering British tea gardens, are used to create this blend.  Our English tea leaves are then blended with Assam to create a delicious malty flavour.

Brewing Instructions

Use filtered or bottled water just off the boil. Brew for 2 to 4 minutes depending on how strong you like your tea – we recommend 3 minutes of steeping time before tasting. English Breakfast Tea can be served with or without milk and sweetened with honey or sugar to taste.
