The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Ahmad Tea has blended in London since 1986, and their English Breakfast is the standard against which most grocery-store tea measures itself and falls short. Robust Assam and Ceylon in a bag that handles full-boil water, extended steeping, and milk without going bitter. One hundred bags in a box because this is daily-driver territory. No ceremony, no ceremony needed.
London-blended English Breakfast. Built for milk and no complaints. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
