What is Irish Breakfast Tea?
Irish Breakfast is a strong black loose leaf tea, malty and dark with a lovely aroma.
This loose tea blend came about because of the importance of the milk industry in Ireland, leading to the need of a strong tea that tasted great when milk was added.
If you love a strong cup of tea that you can add milk to, this is the loose tea for you.
How does Irish Breakfast taste?
The Irish like their tea strong, just like their whiskey! If you prefer a strong tea like Yorkshire tea or a builders tea, this loose leaf tea is for you.
