{"id":426,"count":3,"description":"<h2>Strong black teas with smaller leaf grades<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>In this category, you will find <strong>Broken Tea<\/strong>. These are black teas with smaller leaf grades created during processing. As a result, they often produce a stronger infusion and a deeper cup colour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>These teas are a good choice if you enjoy a full-bodied, spicy or malty cup. Depending on the range, you may find Assam, Darjeeling, Ceylon or other broken grades here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Buy Broken Tea online<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to buy Broken Tea online, you will find selected loose black teas with a strong character. Many product pages also include information about flavour, origin and preparation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Broken grades are well suited to a classic morning cup. They also work well with milk or as a stronger afternoon infusion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<!--category-split-->\r\n\r\n<h2>What does Broken mean?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The term Broken refers to tea leaves that are broken into smaller pieces during processing. Because the pieces are smaller than whole leaves, they often release their flavour more quickly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The final character still depends on the origin and variety. Assam Broken can taste particularly malty and full-bodied. Darjeeling Broken, by contrast, may be more aromatic and lively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>How to prepare Broken Tea<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>For many varieties, we recommend water at around 90\u201395 \u00b0C and a steeping time of 3\u20135 minutes. However, origin and leaf grade can affect the preparation. Therefore, always check the instructions on the product page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For a milder cup, shorten the steeping time slightly. For a stronger flavour, use a little more tea or let it steep for longer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Discover more black teas<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are looking for other leaf grades or styles, discover our <a href=\"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product-category\/loose-leaf-tea\/black-tea\/\">black tea<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product-category\/loose-leaf-tea\/black-tea\/assam-tea\/\">Assam tea<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product-category\/loose-leaf-tea\/black-tea\/earl-grey\/\">Earl Grey<\/a>.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product-category\/loose-leaf-tea\/black-tea\/broken-tea\/","name":"Broken","slug":"broken-tea","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":353,"meta":[],"menu_order":9,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Broken - TeaSense.ch<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Broken Tee mit kleineren Blattgraden f\u00fcr einen kr\u00e4ftigen, aromatischen Aufguss.
