Description
Irish Breakfast – Traditional Robust Assam & Darjeeling BlendIrish Breakfast tea is a traditional black breakfast blend of strong Assam and Darjeeling teas for a classic, robust taste. Bold Assam from India forms the base, bringing its characteristic full flavor and velvety-smooth mouthfeel, beautifully complemented by a hint of the muscatel notes found in lighter Darjeeling. Fun fact: the average Irish person drinks an impressive six cups of tea per day, leaving the British trailing behind! It's no wonder the Irish are so particular about their breakfast tea. Our Irish Breakfast is simply delicious — a robust brew that's velvety smooth with a natural hint of sweetness. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItIrish Breakfast is the perfect wake-up cup: strong enough to get you going, yet smooth and naturally sweet. The balance of hearty Assam and elegant Darjeeling makes it more rounded than many breakfast blends, and it holds up beautifully to milk and sugar.
How to EnjoyTraditionally, thanks to its strength, Irish Breakfast is enjoyed with milk and sugar, but it's simply delicious any way you take it. Pair it with a hearty breakfast, soda bread, scones or oatmeal, or use it as a base for a creamy, strong chai. Robust, smooth and full of character, our Irish Breakfast is a proper cup of tea. |

A little steeping tipStrong enough for plenty of milk. Steep 5 minutes for a hearty breakfast cup.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
