Really liking this blend; it has a brisk and sweet taste. Almost no astringency or bitterness. Definitely can feel the caffeine from this one, a good morning to afternoon cup in my opinion, it may have kept me awake at night when having a cup with dinner. I would buy this again, only received a small sample from upton with my most recent order. Very tasty.

This is the best Irish Blend I have ever tasted, a bit of milk, sugar or honey and this is the perfect way to wake up anyday of the week, including days with rain, fog or snow. PS you don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this but it helps :)

One of my favorite breakfast teas. From day to day, I usually alternate a blend with a single-estate Assam. I prefer Irish Breakfast to English Breakfast, as it’s a little bolder, and I like to add a lot of milk.

Good, strong tea for waking up with, excellent with milk and bitter with too long a steep, it’s wonderful when I’m not quite awake enough to get it going. One 2-cup Chatsford pot will do me for the morning. Rich enough and red enough to be really excellent.

One of my favorite Irish Breakfast teas – strong and malty and consistent in quality. It’s CTC processed, so quick brewing and strong. My morning cup more often than not, with a fair bit of milk.
