Dunmore East is a small fishing village on Ireland’s southeastern coast in County Waterford. This beautiful village is very popular as a vacation destination known for its fishing and water activities, beaches, fabulous restaurants and cafes, music, and breathtaking scenery.
This delightfully bold blend of teas, with a golden cup, a malty flavor and a slightly fruity aftertaste was created to honor Cyndi’s wonderful memories of holidays in the village visiting her friends. This tea has become one of our favorite blends! Start the day with this hearty black tea blend, enjoyable with milk or sweetener but also perfect without!
This tea blend pairs well with chocolate, spiced desserts, cheeses, eggs, pastries, meats and more.
Ingredients: Black teas
Company description not available.
I decided to stick with Simpson & Vail teas this week and went with this blend for breakfast today.
The dried leaves were very dark, almost to the point of being black. Some stems, but mostly broken and a few whole leaves. Almost no fannings. Some golden tips.
I steeped 13 grams of dried leaves in 20 ounces of boiling water for 4 minutes. I went with the larger amount of leaves because of my experience with a similar tea from S&V earlier this week (East Frisian Blend).
The tea brews into a dark brown liquor. The flavor has a bit of malt and a bit of hay together. Slightly astringent, but that could also be related to the amount of dried leaves I used when brewing (a bit more than usual).
Overall, it was good, but not one of my favorites. I expected more flavors, I think. I prefer some of the other S&V blends over this one.
Flavors: Astringent, Hay, Malt
This is a nice blend, very much in the tradition of an Irish Breakfast. I think it’s a little lighter, and not quite as brisk as the Irish Breakfast I’m used to (I usually get Twinings), but it’s still very flavorful.
“I have a lot more black tea to drink so I will hold off on buying more for a while.” – If I could tell myself that and adhere to it, my cupboard would be more manageable! :)
ha – me too. my cupboard overfloweth but am trying to get better. ;)
