{"id":426,"count":3,"description":"Strong black teas with smaller leaf grades\r\nIn 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.\r\n\r\nThese 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.\r\nBuy Broken Tea online\r\nIf 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.\r\n\r\nBroken grades are well suited to a classic morning cup. They also work well with milk or as a stronger afternoon infusion.\r\n\r\n<!--category-split-->\r\nWhat does Broken mean?\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nThe 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.\r\nHow to prepare Broken Tea\r\nFor 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.\r\n\r\nFor a milder cup, shorten the steeping time slightly. For a stronger flavour, use a little more tea or let it steep for longer.\r\nDiscover more black teas\r\nIf you would like to explore more varieties alongside Broken Tea, discover our <a href=\"https:\/\/teasense.ch\/en\/product-category\/loose-leaf-tea\/black-tea\/\">black teas<\/a>, including Assam tea, Earl Grey and other styles.","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 v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Broken - TeaSense.ch<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Broken tea with smaller leaf grades for a strong, aromatic infusion.
