Experience the bold, rich taste of this hearty tea
Steep for 4 minutes for the perfect cup of Irish Breakfast black tea
Fine black tea expertly selected from Kenya, Indonesia, Assam and China
50 individually sealed tea bags for freshness
Description
Our Irish Breakfast tea pays tribute to the Irish, who are well known for their love of strong teas. This blend combines teas carefully selected from four distinct regions to give it added body, flavor and strength. The bold taste originates from teas grown in the tropical climate of Assam and the rich, amber colour from teas grown in fertile Terra Ross soil of Kenya. The hardiness from these regions is complemented by the softer and more subtle teas from Indonesia and China to yield a full-bodied tea with a smooth finish.

A: Thanks for your question! Most teas contain between 19-45 mg of caffeine per serving when following preparation instructions. Flavoured black teas like Earl Grey are typically on the higher end of this scale - between 31-45 mg of caffeine - however these values are for guidance only and may vary depending on the blend, the amount of tea in the tea bag, country of origin and steep time. The longer the steep time for tea, the stronger the extraction of caffeine. The cup size or the amount of water does not affect the caffeine content.

Q: Is this Queen Elizabeth's favorite tea?
submitted by Holmes Fan - 1 year ago
A: Thank you for your question. Twinings is very proud to have been honoured by Queen Victoria in 1837, when she appointed the company as her supplier of tea. We have proudly supplied every successive British Monarch with tea, including His Majesty King Charles III. This honour means that we have been granted the right to put His Majesty's Coat of Arms, known as the Royal Warrant, on our packaging. Use of the Royal Warrant is governed by a set of rules including confidentiality, so unfortunately we cannot comment on any of the products that we supply to any of the Royal Households.

Not as aromatic as I expected, especially in comparison to the English Breakfast mix. Overall a decent tea if you want a wake me up besides coffee. Takes milk and sugar well.

Nice
I got the irish breakfast tea since I like the flavor just a bit more than english breakfast. I keep a few bags with me at all times, especially now as the weather is cooling down. It’s a good value for the amount you get.

Not strong, and no taste
The tea doesn't taste the same anymore. The water has just color but no more flavor like before. I will recommend the old tea which used to taste delicious. The curent one I don't recommend it.

A very mild black tea
The English Breakfast is a great option if you like a mild cup of tea. I prefer a mild tea for everyday drinking, and this is consistently good.

Too strong
This tea seemed ok at first. But as I had more, my throat began to burn with a taste of pepper. Would not recommend nor repurchase.

A good Earl Grey! I have a cup or 2 every morning and love it! I’d love if the packets were paper instead of foil, but the price is good regardless!

Our Iced Tea Favorite
I love this tea flavor. I normally make a large batch for iced tea after it has cooled. I leave in the fridge and when we need a nice refreshment we opt for this. I can really taste the citrus notes. I will keep buying.
