How do you prepare English Breakfast tea?

English Breakfast is a style of black tea that is defined not by its ingredients, but rather, by its characteristics. Its actual composition varies, and in general, it tends to be a blend of teas from different regions, although it rarely can be a single-origin tea. English Breakfast tea is what the English call just "tea". Normally, English Breakfast tea is a blend made exclusively from black teas.

The most common types of tea used in English Breakfast blends include Ceylon tea (from Sri Lanka), Assam (from India), and teas from Kenya, with perhaps some Keemun (from China), although many other types of teas can be blended in too.

The pure teas that resemble modern English Breakfast the most are usually Ceylon teas, although Keemun more closely resembles some of the older styles of English Breakfast tea.
