English Breakfast tea is a blend of several black teas: often Assam , Ceylon and Kenyan teas, and also sometimes China's distinctive Keemun Tea . Keemun tea, when blended with milk, is said to be reminiscent of the typical hot-toast aroma, and many believe that its inclusion in the tea is one of the reasons for the name 'English Breakfast'. Most companies, however, do not include China teas in their English Breakfast brews. Despite its name, the tea is said to have been invented first in Edinburgh , Scotland by one Master Drysdale. Originally it was marketed simply as 'Breakfast Tea', but it soon became very popular in England, owing largely to Queen Victoria 's love for Scotland, and transportation of Scottish goods to England as part of the craze. Most commonly, English Breakfast tea is taken with milk, but some people drink it with lemon as an alternative. Some of the most common brands of tea include Twinings , Taylor Of Harrogate , PG Tips , Stash, Lipton and Dilmah . All of these companies create their own blend of English Breakfast tea.
