English breakfast tea
[2][3] The current naming practice is claimed to have originated not in England but America, as far back as Colonial times.[4] An additional account (referencing a period-era Journal of Commerce article) dates the blend to 1843 and a tea merchant named Richard Davies in New York City.Davies, an English immigrant, started with a base of Congou and added a bit of Pekoe and Pouchong.[5] An investigation to find the original Journal of Commerce article failed to locate it but did come upon an earlier reference to the same story in an 1876 edition of the Daily Alta California, citing "a New York commercial journal" and dating the tea's origin to 1844.[9] At her Scottish residence Balmoral in 1892 she tasted and enjoyed a blend so named, and returned to London with a supply.
