Companhia Portugueza do Chá Lisbon Breakfast Black Tea

Companhia Portugueza do Chá Lisbon Breakfast Black Tea is a Portuguese breakfast black tea from Lisbon, created by Companhia Portugueza do Chá, the city's tea house on Rua do Poço dos Negros. A full-bodied morning tea with a strong aroma, made to start the day.

Tasting notes

This is the house breakfast blend, a Portuguese black tea married with Ceylon tea. It brews a deep amber cup, malty and generous, with a brisk finish. It takes milk very well.

Food pairing

Have it with toast and butter, scrambled eggs, a croissant or a slice of Portuguese sweet bread. With milk, it is perfect next to a pastel de nata.

About Companhia Portugueza do Chá

Companhia Portugueza do Chá is a Lisbon tea house on Rua do Poço dos Negros, founded by tea sommelier Sebastian Filgueiros. Its blends tell the story of Portugal and tea: Portuguese ships brought tea from the East, and Catherine of Braganza made it fashionable at the English court after marrying Charles II in 1662. Her profile is on the company's logo.
