Our Celtic Blend is classic Irish Breakfast black tea done one better. Its small, compact leaves produce an impressively big, bold flavor that’s great on its own or with milk and sugar. From one look at Celtic Blend’s deep umber leaves and copper-bronze buds, you will know that this is no ordinary Irish Breakfast. Before you brew, note the leaves’ floral, malty sweetness and spicy note of cracked black pepper. Savor the deep garnet brew’s aromas… Read more

I spent yesterday afternoon organizing and cleaning out my tea cupboard. Amazing what motivation a little bit of grief can get you! My brother used to be into tea and is getting back into it, so I sent pretty much all oolongs and other straight teas I don’t love his way. I also have a ton of flavored teas I’ll be posting in the take it away thread. But in the process of my purge and cleanse, I found this tea hiding behind something else. There is only enough for a few mugfuls, but I was super happy to find it. There is a great rich maltiness to it that takes my cream and honey well. Next time I reorder Brioche, I’ll probably add a small bag of this to my order.

Much better steeped at 3 minutes. Not bitter and much less throat grabby. The main flavor I get is of the Assam. I think a heavier influence of the Chinese black would have probably suited my preferences better, but then it probably wouldn’t have been “Celtic.”

This is one punchy kick in the pants tea. The label tells me that it is a premium robust black blend of Indian (Assam and Nilgiri) and a Chinese black. It reminds me of a Damn Fine Teas concoction. Drinking this black and unsweetened, it is just on the verge of wanting an addition, but it is really really good on its own. Rich malty stone fruit. This is one that I’d like to keep around.
Flavors: Malt, Stonefruit
Ooh good to know :)
