Quick answer

Simply Maple Breakfast Tea is a bold black tea blend created by DAVIDsTEA in collaboration with Holo Taco founder Cristine. It delivers a rich, breakfast-inspired flavor with natural maple notes and is best enjoyed hot with your favorite milk or sweetener.

What makes this tea different from other breakfast teas?

Most breakfast teas are straightforward black tea blends meant to be strong and malty. Simply Maple Breakfast Tea stands out because it adds a distinct maple flavor that feels natural and not overly sweet. It was developed with input from Cristine (Simply Nailogical), so it reflects a fan-favorite profile rather than a generic morning cup.

The base is a bold black tea that holds up well to milk and sugar, making it versatile for different brewing styles. If you enjoy flavored black teas but want something that still feels like a classic breakfast brew, this is a good middle ground.

Who is this tea best for?

This tea suits anyone who wants a flavored black tea that isn't too dessert-like. It works well for daily morning drinking, especially if you usually add milk or a splash of cream to your tea. Fans of DAVIDsTEA or Holo Taco will appreciate the collaboration, but the flavor stands on its own.

If you prefer unflavored black teas or dislike any sweetness in your tea, this blend may not be for you. The maple note is present but subtle, so it won't overpower the tea base.

Frequently asked questions

How do I brew Simply Maple Breakfast Tea?

Use 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea per 8 oz of water. Heat water to 200–212°F (just off boiling). Steep for 3–5 minutes. For a stronger cup, steep closer to 5 minutes. Strain and serve. Adjust steeping time based on how bold you like your tea.

Can I drink it iced?

Yes. Brew double-strength (2 teaspoons per 8 oz), steep for 4 minutes, then pour over ice. The maple flavor remains noticeable even when chilled. Double the leaf amount for iced tea to avoid dilution.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes, because the base is black tea. A standard cup has roughly 40–60 mg of caffeine, similar to other black breakfast teas. It's a good morning or early afternoon choice if you want a caffeine boost.

What goes well with this tea?

It pairs naturally with pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal. A splash of milk or a dash of cinnamon can enhance the maple notes without overpowering them. Keep additions simple to let the maple flavor shine.
