What is Irish Breakfast tea?

Irish Breakfast tea is a strong blend of black tea, mainly made up of Assam (India) variety. The tea grown in Assam is so special that it is considered a sub-specie of the tea plant and has its own name: Camellia sinensis assamica.

It's a strong robust dark-red or dark-brown tea that has a smooth malty taste and tastes great either straight or with milk and sugar. You can use lemon with this blend as well.

Make sure the Irish Breakfast is not overbrewed since it can turn bitter, unlike the green tea.

CONSUMER TIP: When in Ireland please do not order any "Irish Breakfast tea" since Irish, one of the most enthusiastic tea-drinking nations in the world, refer to this blend simply as the "tea."

Suggestion: Organic Irish Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea
