St Pauls London Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea Blend
Our London breakfast loose leaf tea St Pauls is a bold, beautifully composed black tea blend of Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan teas, finished with a subtle touch of bergamot for extra lift. Rich, malty and full-bodied, it is made for the first proper cup of the day — excellent with milk, yet bright and characterful enough to enjoy black.
London Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea with a Hint of Bergamot
St Pauls is a refined take on the classic breakfast blend, inspired by London’s long-standing tea tradition. Assam, Ceylon and Kenyan black teas create a strong, satisfying foundation, while a measured note of bergamot gives the cup a distinctive finish without turning it into an Earl Grey.
The result is a breakfast tea with real personality: robust, lively and more elegant than a standard morning blend.
Assam Body, Ceylon Brightness and Kenyan Strength
Assam provides deep malty richness and the reassuring weight expected of a true breakfast tea. Ceylon adds brightness and a clean, brisk edge, while Kenyan black tea contributes colour, structure and a lively lift in the cup.
Together, they create a full-bodied loose leaf morning tea that holds milk beautifully and remains balanced from first sip to last.
A Breakfast Blend with Subtle Earl Grey Sparkle
What makes St Pauls stand apart is its light touch of bergamot. The citrus note sits gently in the finish, brightening the malt and giving the blend a faint floral-citrus elegance.
It is enough to make the tea feel special, but never enough to dominate. This is still a proper breakfast blend first and foremost — just one with a more memorable signature.

Made for Mornings, Worth Returning to All Day
St Pauls is an excellent first cup of the morning, particularly for those who like breakfast tea with a generous splash of milk. The blend becomes smoother and rounder, while the bergamot remains pleasantly present.
Taken black, it is brighter and more aromatic, with the Ceylon and bergamot notes coming forward more clearly. That versatility makes it just as welcome later in the day.
How to Brew St Pauls London Breakfast Tea
Use freshly boiled water at 100°C and add one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
A 3-minute brew gives a brighter, livelier cup. A 4-minute infusion draws out more malt and body, making it especially good with milk.
For a stronger tea, use a little more leaf rather than extending the brew time too far. Warming the teapot before brewing also helps produce a fuller cup.
Ingredients
Assam black tea, Ceylon black tea, Kenyan black tea, natural bergamot flavouring.
About High Teas London
High Teas London has been sourcing distinctive loose leaf teas and infusions since 2008. With over 350 different teas in our collection, we are proud to offer blends that bring something extra to everyday tea drinking, including characterful morning favourites such as St Pauls London Breakfast.
There is no warehouse. That is rather the point, and it does have consequences.
Every brand here packs and posts its own orders, in its own boxes, with tracked delivery. The brands you can see are the ones that ship to your country, so your parcel is usually making a fairly short journey: a potter in Bristol posting to Britain, a studio in California posting within America.
Which does mean that an order from three brands arrives as three parcels, posted by three different people, on three different days. Whether that is an inconvenience or a small extended birthday rather depends on your temperament. It also means three lots of postage, shown before you pay, because we would rather mention it here than at the till.
Roughly how long
UK Domestic: 2–5 business days
Coming from further afield: 7–14 days. Usually quicker, but let's not prmise and it will be a lovely surprise!
Estimates, not promises. Each brand sends its own tracking, so you will be kept extremely well
Need help? Just ask.Our small team is here.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you have changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it back to us. No reason required, and we will not make you give one.
You are allowed to open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop, and we will not quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some cover it themselves, and if yours does you will not be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand.
A few things cannot come back, and only these: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we sort it.
Just email mail@brixbailey.com — we'll guide you through it.
