Backlog from yesterday…. This is a very classic, robust Irish Breakfast Tea. Brews dark and has a heavy, intense flavor (or I oversteeped it :-) Will post on it some more next time it comes around the rotation.

Slightly embarrassed to realize I’ve been calling this an Irish Breakfast when in fact it is their Scottish Breakfast. Whatever its called, I like it. Needs to cool a bit to get the maximum flavor effect…that is, its a good slurping tea, none of this prissy sipping thing! Strong flavor. Good amount of astringency to leave your mouth refreshed. Malty, as it claims to be. I drink it without sugar and don’t think sugar would go well with it.

2nd go around on this tea. I’m not usually a fan of Irish (and Scottish) tea. It’s normally a bit strong for me. However, this Irish Breakfast is just about perfect, in my opinion. It has a much bolder, darker taste than English Breakfast, but it’s not overdone.

Resteep – not much here, even after 10 minutes of steeping. There is some color and flavor, but not much. I was stingy with the leaves the first time around.

Outstanding! This is one of my favorite breakfast teas. Strong, malty, and earthy—but there is a bit of bitterness to it. A splash of milk and a spoon of sugar take care of that, and turn this into a great way to wake up.

Definitely going to buy this one again.
