’How has this not been done” was the reaction when the cider making team were sampling the 30 tea and cider blends at the beginning of the Zeffer Tea Party process. We have narrowed the range down and English Breakfast represents the first keg release of the Zeffer Tea Party series. The flavours get more diverse in the 2nd and 3rd releases, but we wanted to show the great pairing between the tea and cider without the influence of other flavours for this initial release. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. This blend of this black tea has structure, tannin and flavours that compliment our apple cider perfectly and the result is a smooth, refreshing drop with great tannin and a lingering iced tea finish. Style: English Breakfast Cider See: Deep golden Smell: Apple with classic earthy black tea aromas Taste: Fresh apple initially with a rich mid palate and lingering iced tea finish.
