Irish Breakfast

With an annual per-capita consumption of more than 3 kg, the Irish are still the world champions when it comes to drinking tea. They have a special preference for very strong blends, which may happily contain a good portion of local whiskey. Following this tradition, we are producing a special quality in our house which only consists of the seasons strongest broken teas. A deep dark infusion with a highly spicy and malty character – a definite must for each lover of such tea types and, of course, for all friends of the Green Island.

I used the directions on the package to brew this one. It ended up being a VERY dark brown color, almost like I was drinking black coffee. The flavors were VERY STRONG IN YOUR FACE and lacked any nuances. I will try with less time if I make this again. I do enjoy a hearty English Breakfast but this is not for me.

Thanks to Awkward Soul for this sample! This was a great tea to start my day. First I should mention that I put two Splenda packets in every tea I drink; I don’t even taste it first, I just automatically sweeten it. This is the first time where after tasting the tea, I thought I could have gotten away with one packet. At first, the taste was very sweet. It mellowed out more the more I drank. The flavor that I was reminded of was raisin, but in a gentle way, not an in-your-face way. I would definitely drink this again.
