English tea is a term used to describe traditional blends of black tea such as Ceylon, Kenyan and Assam teas that are distinctly rich, robust & full-bodied in flavor. Its full-bodied flavor is likened to the fullness of an English breakfast and coincidentally this tea pairs exceptionally well with this dish. As the name suggests, this tea is the beverage of choice in Britain and Ireland, although it is enjoyed all over the world.
