  • Irish Breakfast

    Our own proprietary blend of three bold, black teas from three different countries, it is the perfect morning tea.  A well-known tea blogger has said it’s the best Irish Breakfast she has ever found.  This is all loose tea, not the usual CTC (cut-tear-curl) many blenders use for Irish Breakfast.  Using loose tea gives it less ‘harshness’ but all the strength the blend is known for.

    Serving Suggestion:  Enjoy it strong and black or with milk and sugar.  Even cream and sugar.

    Brewing Instructions:  Use 1 heaping tsp. to 1 tbs. per 8 oz. water, to taste.  Steep it for at least 4 minutes.  If you want longer, fine.  Enjoy!  190-195F

    Ingredients:  Black tea blend.

    All teas in blend sourced from certified organic, Fair Trade suppliers.

WHAT TEA IS...AND ISN'T - THE BASICS

whatisteaTea is from one plant, in simple terms, while herbals are a wide variety, from many different plants.  

WHAT IS 'BLENDING'?

blending-blogSometimes teas or herbals are infused without anything added.  However, in some countries, a more popular infusion is from blending together teas with teas.

IS IT 'STEEPING' OR 'BREWING'?

brew-or-steepIn the world of tea, you hear both terms often.  And there’s really no difference, unless you’re a knit-picker.
