A delicious breakfast tea that works anytime of day! Crofter is a robust tea – like the inspiration behind it. Highly rated, this firm favourite is here to stay. Meet the wee grey fergie tractor.
Crofter Breakfast Tea was inspired by a little grey fergie tractor. The little grey fergie has lived on the Tiree Tea croft since she was born in 1947. She is still a working tractor.
Like the fergie, Crofter Breakfast Tea is a versatile blend equally suited to breakfast, a flask on the go or, (in true Tiree style) accompanied by a couple of biscuits after an already large meal. Leaving it in a teapot on the stove to stew for a couple of hours is traditional, but entirely optional.
Hints of: baler-twine and marauding livestock
Net weight: 60g (20 teabags) | 30g (10 teabags)
Ingredients: Indian Assam Black Tea, Kenyan Black Tea, Sri Lankan Black Tea.
Brew for 3 mins in 100 degree water
“What about the plastic?” we hear you cry! Fear not, our teabags are plastic free and 100% biodegradable. You can enjoy that cuppa with a clear conscience. Even our mailing bags are biodegradable.
We do our very best get your order to you within 3 business days – weather permitting.

Wylie (verified owner) –
The tea was braw. Nice blend. In a spirit of positive feedback, and I hope not in the spirit of a ‘blow-in’ I’d suggest you move from the plastic tea bag to some kind of compostable containers for the leaf tea. I realise this could be tricky on the island but if your tea-bags are being made off island then it should be possible. If you mentioned this in your marketing materials, I think it would help your sales. HTH
teatha (store manager) –
Hi Wylie! Thanks so much for your feedback! The tea bags themselves are in fact plastic free and 100% biodegradable – it sounds like I could definitely do a better job of highlighting that! From the next production run, the pouches will be degradable within 12-24 months in the general waste stream. Glad you enjoyed the tea 🙂

We spent holidays on Tiree for years and for my 60th Birthday in May a generous friend sent me a hamper containing gin, chocolate and your delicious tea.
We recently watched a program on BBC ALBA about folks on Tiree and recognised that you must be the person behind the tea. Thinking of the lack of tourists on the island I wanted to do a tiny bit to support your endeavours.
Daughter and boyfriend are visiting in September (camping) so hopefully they’ll bring more back then.
I love the fact that the producers are getting together.
The packaging and stories is just great – love it!
I wish you every success.

Buying Crofter for my spouse was a huge risk. She has had a longstanding love affair with Taylors of Harrowgate’s Scottish Breakfast. But I love crofting land tenure, the cover art, the Hebrides, and the description so I thought I’d give it a shot.
The love affair with Taylors is over. Crofter blew it out of the water, so to speak. This is our second order because she went through what I bought her for Christmas in just a few months.
Now I’m just trying to figure out how often we need to set our subscription for . . .
