Irish Breakfast

100% Assam, like most traditional Irish blends. This is a good way to start your morning, and like cereal, it takes milk and sugar well. In contrast to other vendors, ours is a little more refined. Our 50ct box of Irish Breakfast tea is Kosher, and is caffeinated.

Temporarily out of stock.

About Irish Breakfast

Dry Leaves Dark brown leaves.
Liquor A medium-dark brown liquor.
Aroma This has some of the malty aromas found in other Assams. However, since it is a smaller tea and there are no tips, the aromas seem to be muted.
Caffeine Level Caffeinated
Body This has very good body. It is usually drunk with milk. Of course the Irish would have it no other way.
Flavors This is usually drunk with milk and sugar, so the flavors harmonize well with them. There are subtle notes of roast malt.
Brewing Time 4 to 5 minutes
Brewing Temperature 212° F
Our Review
The Harneys have been out of Ireland for sometime, so our Irish Breakfast is an older version. A time when the teas came from Assam, not Africa, and the teas were small broken leaves, and not CTC pellets. So this is simple and can handle milk and sugar well.

Perfect Breakfast Tea
Average Review:

This is an excellent traditional tea to start off the day. A little sugar and a drop of cream adds the perfect touch.

I was looking for a coffee alternative, tried Harney's Irish Breakfast Tea and haven't looked
back, that was 3 years ago. I have 4 cups every morning with a splash of milk and love the

Good Not Great
Average Review:

As is typical with Assams, this tea has lots of body and a malty flavor.
It has little aroma or daring. My favorite Irish Breakfast contains a
little Darjeeling that adds some aroma and flavor to the mix

Elixir of Life
Average Review:

I have been drinking Harney & Sons Irish Breakfast Tea every morning for years, and knowing that I can have that life-giving cup of tea has often been the only thing that has coaxed me out of bed. It's bold enough to function as a coffee replacement, but never jangles nerves like coffee does. The taste (with milk and sugar) is my favorite beginning to the day. I have tried other brands, but sometimes they are rough or bitter, and none come up to Harney & Sons standards. This tea is the wake-up call for which you've been waiting!

I commute 10 miles each way to work by bicycle year 'round... and this tea keeps me warm in the winter after those cold miles each morning. I like my tea strong yet smooth, and none beats this tea from H&S!

One of my Favorites
Average Review:


I love this tea. It has a great flavor. It is verrry smooth. I can drink it all day and not get bad tastebuds or the caffine croup. I also enjoy it in the evening to relax. It is one I keep on hand always.

Delicious!
Average Review:


I'm a new customer to Harney & Sons. I've tried several of their English and Irish Breakfast teas and this is my favorite. I drink it with cream and sugar every morning. Smooth and not bitter--a delight!

Lover of Irish Breakfast Tea
Average Review:


Love this tea! It is full bodied yet mellow. Like their descriptions says..it's a more refined version of some of the other Irish Breakfast teas I've tried. I have it everyday with milk or half and half. Good way to start the day. Picks me up but doesn't give me the coffee jitters.
