A Very Good Reason to Put the Kettle On

Some mornings call for diplomacy. Others call for decisiveness. Then, there are mornings when only a proper cup of English Breakfast will do.

Rich, malty, and reassuringly robust, this is tea with its priorities in order. No complicated arrangements. No fashionable nonsense. Just a classic blend with enough character to meet the morning head on, and enough smoothness to make the whole business considerably more civilised.

Naturally, we thought it deserved a rather special entrance.

Our English Breakfast Tea Bomb brings this much loved classic to your teacup with a little anticipation, a satisfying crack, and the pleasure of watching your morning cup come to life. The tradition remains gloriously intact. We’ve simply given it a new way to make an entrance.

Take it strong. Add a splash of milk. Bring out the good biscuits if the occasion calls for them. And, if anyone questions the need for a little theatre before breakfast, you have our full permission to ignore them.

After all, a proper cuppa is never just a cuppa.

An Explosion of Happiness

A Classic With Backbone

Rich, malty black tea has a character all its own. There's depth from the first sip, a briskness that keeps the cup lively, and a smooth, rounded finish that makes the whole affair feel wonderfully complete.

Our English Breakfast blend brings those familiar qualities to the fore. Robust without being rough, malty without becoming heavy, and balanced enough to be enjoyed just as it is. Add a splash of milk if that's how you take your tea; the creamy softness settles beautifully against the tea's deeper notes.

This is the sort of blend that doesn't need to chase trends or dress itself up as something else. It knows what a good English Breakfast should taste like, and it delivers.

A classic for good reason. And a cracking good cuppa, to boot.

How to Steep Your Tea Bombs

Water Temperature: 206°F | 97°C
Steep Time: 3-5 minutes
Suggested Serving Size: 1 bomb | 8-12 oz

What's in My Cup?

Our tea bombs are made from our very own organic, finely powdered whole leaf teas, scooped into a sweet tea-infused candy shell.

The tea powder dissolves in boiling water but some remaining tea leaves may not. Thus, you will notice some tea fibers at the bottom of your cup.

These tea fibers are plant-based and are meant to be consumed.

Swirl cup gently while consuming to capture every fiber-rich sip. Or, alternatively, don’t swirl while savouring your cuppa and leave the last sip.

How to Store Your Tea Bombs

Our Tea Bombs are fragile. Please handle with the utmost care. 

Store your Tea Bombs in a cool, dark place. Do not refrigerate, as the humidity is detrimental to the hard sugar shell. 

Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat.

How Your Tea Bombs are Protected

Cove Tea's tea bombs are individually wrapped in a plant-based, biodegradable, compostable cellulose wrapper. 

Remove the sticker that's keeping the wrapper closed, and you can compost your wrapper. 

Small, Fresh Batches & Fulfillment

Please note our Tea Bombs sell out very quickly! 

As such, we tend to make them to order to keep them fresh & ready to go. Please allow extra processing time in order to get them handmade & packaged up for your enjoyment. 

Thank you for your understanding!
