Irish I had more of this tea! I’ve found this Harney and Sons tea to be a solid, fairly robust Irish Breakfast. The flavor is amenable and strong-enough, but not overly so, though it presents a very brief floral perfume at the back of the mouth during swallowing. I’m enjoying the tea each weekend. Recommended for those who enjoy strong, floral black teas.
Irish Breakfast tea Irish Breakfast tea should be malty. This tea completely fails in this regard. It is a nice tea, but where there should be a maltyness, instead there is a hint of fruityness.This tea seems to be missing the maltyness of Assam that really makes or breaks an Irish Breakfast Tea. Boo.
A GREAT EYE OPENER Excellent way to start the day. The tea is composed of high quality whole leaves, and is great even with milk and sugar!
