Irish Breakfast

Black Tea by Twinings

A strong, full-bodied black tea from the regions of Ceylon and Assam expertly blended with a hearty flavor and delightful aroma.

The Irish really love their tea and are amongst the most frequent drinkers of tea around the world. In celebration of this tea drinking tradition, Twinings blended a special Irish Breakfast Blend. This tea is best taken with milk and sweetened to taste to bring out the best flavor.

I think this one is stronger than this brand’s English Breakfast tea, which isn’t a bad thing.

Ian from Ireland shared this tea with me. It’s nice to connect with people over a cup of tea…this is a decent tea found most anywhere for cheap.

My morning staple junior year of high school! Fond memories, indeed. Robust flavor that holds it own against milk, cream, or sugar.

And, when you’re as confounded as I tend to be when I wake up, measuring out one teaspoonful of this beats grinding coffee beans and counting out enough scoops for me and my bean-addled housemates any day.

A nice strong black tea. I really liked it although i brewed it for only about 3 minutes. i think it would be better at about 5 min

I like this tea better than English Breakfast, I would say. It has a bolder flavor to it which I like.

Irish Breakfast has a great roundness and presence without being too bitter or strong. Great with milk, but I usually drink it without.

This tea keeps saving my life when I travel, often the only good tea avaible, very fine breakfast tea, considering it’s not loose.

This tea was good. I took it with about a centimeter (about 5-10mls) of milk and half a spoon of sugar. Delicious. :)

This is one of my favourite black teas, it is great for waking up and has a strong smell

Because this is stronger than their English Breakfast blend, I drink this on mornings where I need an extra kick. Silly, I know, because it doesn’t have more caffeine, but I like my little illusions. I always drink this tea with milk; it smooths out the stronger tannin flavor and makes it delicious.

Delicious at room temp.

Made a nice start to my morning on the way to the car show. It kept me warm while speeding along in an open-top car, but its flavor wasn’t quite up to snuff today. I think it was the lack of soy milk.

Still backdating…

Throw in a bit of Bailey’s, maybe something stronger if you want, you’re good to go.
