The Story
The story of Irish Breakfast Tea traces back to the 19th century when the British were cultivating tea in their colonies, particularly in India. The Irish, who were fond of strong teas, found that the robust and full-bodied blends produced in Assam and Ceylon suited their taste preferences perfectly.
Irish Breakfast Tea, unlike its milder English counterpart, is known for its bold flavor and rich, reddish hue. This blend was created to withstand the addition of milk, which was a common practice among the Irish. The popularity of Irish Breakfast Tea grew rapidly in Ireland, becoming a staple of the morning ritual for many households. It provided a hearty and comforting start to the day, especially during the chilly Irish mornings. Over time, Irish Breakfast Tea became not only a beloved beverage but also a symbol of Irish hospitality and conviviality. Whether enjoyed alone or shared among friends and family, it continues to hold a special place in Irish culture, embodying the warmth and comfort of home.

I could say that I like my tea deep and full bodied with a touch of Irish and that would be correct. This tea was for my hubby. Irish breakfast is a difficult tea to find and so glad tea journeys have it. It’s a rich strong full bodied tea. Perfect for a wake up cuppa for breakfast. Again thanks tea journeys for getting it to me before Christmas. Awesome effort.

How long does your tea stay fresh?
Short answer. It depends on the tea and how it is stored.
To keep your teas fresh, always store them well-sealed in a cool, dry, and dark place and generally as a guideline we recommend consuming within 3 years of purchase.

I’ve never understood our camping buddies not liking Lapsang Souchong. After all they all say how much they like getting home and finding all there clothes smell of smoke.
Recently introduced Golden Goose into the mix and it captured some interest. There is hope for them yet.

I am really enjoying my sticky chai….. especially the ginger flavour which gives me the taste I like to identify.
I often use my diffuser in a mug rather than the infusion bottle and that works well if I just want a mug of chai just for myself.
I have samples to try and I want to try a chilled chai as well. I’m on a ‘tea adventure’
