Terroir of the Neighbourhood
Atkinsons Breakfast Blend is a perfectly balanced blend designed to invigorate and revive at any time of day, especially breakfast time. We seize the bright and boisterous, tippy Assam leaves and coax them into behaving with the gentler, more forgiving Darjeeling. This produces a juxtapositional light and dark ‘char-oscuro’ creation. Atkinsons Breakfast Blend is a bit more vigorous than some gentler blends. This seems to be what our legions of tea drinkers have preferred over the years. It’s the ‘Terroir of there Neighbourhood’!
The Tea Master Magicians
By remaining loyal to our time-honoured suppliers we can guarantee a consistency and continuity that will serve to uphold this legacy blend that has been such a favourite for so long. We put our trust in the taste buds of tea masters at origin and at importers warehouses. They both know intimately the effects of the changing seasons on the different harvests coming through the supply chain. They can make tiny adjustments to the constituent parts of the blend, like a magician’s sleight of hand, so you don’t even notice the disappearance of an old season leaf and the arrival of the new crop.
