What makes Morning Sunshine a breakfast blend
Morning Sunshine is a black tea blend of Assam, Darjeeling and Rwandan teas. The catalog describes it as malty with muscatels and a touch of mellow fruitiness, plus light fruitiness and florals. That combination is why it works as a morning cup or an afternoon pick-me-up.
The 250g refill is loose leaf tea sealed in a resealable black foil pouch, intended to refill your Everyday Tin. Because the leaves are loose rather than bagged, you control the strength of each cup.
How to brew Morning Sunshine loose leaf tea
The supplied preparation notes give a simple starting point. Adjust only after you have tasted the first cup.
- Measure one teaspoon per cup: Use one teaspoon of loose leaf tea for each cup you plan to brew. Add the leaves to your favourite loose leaf tea infuser.
- Use freshly boiled water: The catalog specifies freshly boiled water. Pour it over the leaves once it has boiled.
- Steep for 2 to 4 minutes: The recommended brewing time is 2–4 minutes. Start at the shorter end if you prefer a lighter cup, or steep longer for more malt and body.
- Serve on its own or with milk: Morning Sunshine is described as perfect on its own or with milk. Try it plain first to taste the fruit and floral notes, then add milk if you want a softer, richer cup.
Brewing details confirmed by the product record
- Morning Sunshine Loose Leaf Refill 250g: Best brewed 2–4 minutes using freshly boiled water in your favourite loose leaf tea infuser. This gives you a clear time range and water instruction, so you can avoid over-steeping or using water that has cooled too much.
Morning Sunshine Loose Leaf Refill 250g - Morning Sunshine Loose Leaf Refill 250g: One teaspoon per cup. A consistent leaf-to-water ratio makes it easier to repeat a cup you like.
- Morning Sunshine Loose Leaf Refill 250g: Perfect on its own or with milk. You can choose whether to add milk without changing the brewing method.
What the catalog does not specify about water temperature
The product record says to use freshly boiled water, but it does not give a numeric water temperature. If you usually brew black tea at a particular temperature, follow the supplied instruction to use freshly boiled water rather than guessing a number.
The same applies to milk quantity and steeping adjustments. The catalog confirms milk is an option but does not prescribe an amount. Add a splash, taste, and adjust from there.
How to store the 250g refill pouch
The refill comes in a resealable black foil pouch. The only storage instruction supplied is to store it in a cool, dry place. Keep the pouch sealed between uses and away from heat and moisture.
- Reseal the foil pouch after each use: Press the resealable closure closed to limit exposure to air.
- Keep it cool and dry: Choose a cupboard or pantry spot that is not above a stove, kettle or dishwasher.
- Refill your Everyday Tin: The pouch is designed to refill your Everyday Tin. Decant what you need and keep the rest sealed.

A note on freshness and shelf life
The catalog does not state a shelf life or a best-before period for this refill. It also does not confirm whether the tea is organic or allergen-free. If those details matter to you, check the packaging when it arrives rather than relying on assumptions.
What the record does confirm is that the tea is sustainably sourced: 100% of T2 tea is sustainably sourced, from fruits and spices to tea leaves and herb bushes.
