Black Tea

Bold and full bodied with a bright lively character and enough strength to cut through milk without losing its edge

Sainsbury's has been selling their own tea blend since 1903, when the founder selected the first Red Label recipe. Today it remains their signature - a Fairtrade blend of teas from Kenya, Malawi, and Rwanda, three of East Africa's most productive tea-growing regions, delivering colour, strength, and full-bodied flavour in every cup.

Bold, rich, and refreshing with a bright, deep colour. The all-East-African blend keeps the cup lively and brisk rather than heavy - strong enough to cut through milk completely but clean enough to drink without. A proper everyday tea that has been a Sainsbury's staple for over 120 years.

If you enjoy Sainsbury's Red Label, our Scotch and Abram's Irish Breakfast is our take on that same bold, full-bodied everyday character - strong, satisfying, and built to start the day.

How to brew the perfect cup

Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool.
Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength.
Add milk if you like. It holds up well.
A longer steep brings out the full East African character.

How does it compare?

Lighter and more refined: Sainsbury's Gold Label Similar to Yorkshire Tea Similar to Glengettie

Sainsbury's Gold Label is the step up from the same brand - more refined with Assam added alongside the Kenyan and Rwandan teas. Yorkshire Tea is the closest mainstream comparison in terms of strength and character. Glengettie shares the same bold, no-nonsense East African character originally blended for soft water.

Every tea we sell shows its Best By date right on the product page. If your order arrives with an earlier date than listed, we'll replace it for free. No questions asked, no hoop jumping.
