Description
Our new combination of black teas from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Assam (India). As its name implies, Irish Breakfast tea is an ideal accompaniment to a morning meal. It smoothly blends the high notes of a high-grown Ceylon with the malty underscore of a hearty Assam. May be enjoyed plain or with a drop of milk. One of our most popular teas. The perfect afternoon tea.
Story
James Joyce, a gourmand as well as a prolific writer, began Ulysses with not one, but two Irish Breakfasts. His protagonist, Leopold Bloom, recounted every meal consumed on what is now known as Bloomsday. The meal, also known as Fry, is typically served all day long, and consists primarily of porridge, bacon, sausage, smoked salmon, eggs and tea. The latter was required equally strong, as it was customary to dilute it with milk. The teas of Ceylon and Assam were judged equal to the task. However, the proportion of each varies greatly from blend to blend.
"I haven't had an Irish Breakfast blend that could compare. I'll be buying this one over and over."
"Already a fan of this tea before initial purchase. The best way to describe this tea would be a very safe choice for a good black tea. Obviously a great choice for a morning drink. "
"If you're a flavord tea drinker, you may not like this, but it's a great natural tasting tea! Not too bitter, and it makes you feel really good after a cup."
"This is one of my favorite teas. It's great anytime of day and is a good complement for almost any meal. It's a staple in my cupboard."
"It just tasted like regular tea. Need more stronger."
"smooth and tasty - bold but not bitter. yummy with a tiny bit of sweetened, condensed milk, for a treat!"
