Description

Our Irish Breakfast tea is 100% Assam, and like most traditional Irish blends, this is a great way to begin your morning. In contrast to other versions of Irish Breakfast tea, you could say ours is a little more sophisticated. It tastes great on its own or takes milk and sugar well.

Details: The Harneys have been out of Ireland for some time, so our Irish Breakfast is an older version. This tea recalls a time when the teas came from Assam, not Africa, and were small, broken leaves, not CTC pellets. So this is a simple tea that can handle milk and sugar well.

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.

Flavors: This is usually served with milk and sugar, so the flavors harmonize well with them. There are subtle notes of roast malt.

Caffeine Level: Caffeinated

Body: Full-bodied. This has a very good body. It is usually served with milk. Of course, the Irish would have it no other way.

Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes

Brewing Temp: 212º
