There are different breakfast blends: English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Scottish Breakfast. Scottish Breakfast is the strongest and has most Assam in it, Irish still quite strong and a fair bit of Assam and English has more Ceylon, sometimes Keemun. (Roughly - the exact blends vary by manufacturer). It has varied historically too - the Keemun is what used to be English Breakfast and is being added back in, while Assam was a replacement.

Vice did a short piece a while back on the science behind blending teas for different local waters.
Gadsden offered blends for most major metropolitan areas in England. He even offered micro-lot analysis, for those interested, where you could send him several litres of your water and he'd make suggestions or offer to custom blend something for your water's characteristics.

This is why I drink coffee.
Even the atrocious, EPA-offending water in my town tastes ok with a high enough ratio of coffee:water.

I like Irish coffee... They say it has all four basic food groups: caffeine, fat, sugar and alcohol.

Lady Grey for me, please.
I drink Yorkshire tea and have hard water from my well. I bought a couple boxes of the hard water variety, but find it lacks the richness of the original blend.
