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.

Is it ok for me to drink English breakfast tea when I'm pregnant?

Yes you can but it's not advisable to drink too much. It's the caffeine in the tea that can cause a lower than normal birth weight. English breakfast tea has a greater amount of caffeine, than "normal" tea. Four cups of tea a day is a guideline, so for English, I'd suggest only two cups a day. Any doubts, see your doctor, he's better qualified for this sort of thing. See related link for more information.

What is the difference between an American breakfast and a continental breakfast?

Marketing? The idea of eating an actual meal for breakfast... including, usually, meat and eggs... is uncommon in most of Europe, where the typical breakfast is the "continental breakfast": coffee or tea, fruit juice, and bread or a pastry. Places that offer bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, pancakes, etc. advertise it as an "English breakfast" to make it clear that it's not just coffee and a biscuit. The US (and most other former portions of the British Empire) usually tend to think of "breakfast" as involving a hot meal. In the US many hotels offer a complimentary breakfast to guests; this may be a "continental breakfast" as described above, or it may be a full breakfast, in which case it will usually be called an "American breakfast" to avoid confusing anyone who might think that an "English breakfast" was, say, tea and crumpets or some kind of disgusting "pudding" made out of blood.
