Irish Breakfast

Cheap and economical, I bought an 80 teabag box for 2 dollars. I have been drinking this tea as my morning tea with some Silk soymilk and my usual breakfast of oat bran and fruit or toast.

2 bags in 2 cups water in a roiling boil, steeped till the liquor is opaque and black. Smells like roses, though its the kind of tea I don’t spend any time appreciating because of the morning rush, and I feel that it doesn’t mind at all. Stout but not amazing, its the kind of tea I can rely on – it won’t surprise me but it won’t disappoint me.

Certainly not overqualified, but definitely under-appreciated, it makes my mornings less complicated by being so simple.

This is my every day black tea. It takes lots of milk and some sugar well. It’s strong, and while I like that, I steep it for a very short amount of time. It is strong, but smooth. Great in the morning to wake me up! Good with the occasional dash of cinnamon!

Three times, I’ve had a little surprise at the end of a cup: part or all of an insect. Like others, I’m a coffee drinker so strong and bitter are actually a plus. Drink it with milk. But I could live without the bugs.

I always have a box of this on my tea shelf. At first I thought it was really bitter and odd, even with honey and milk, but after a couple of times trying it I started to really like it.

Oh nice, someone made a page for this stuff. I had a box of this last summer and used it all as sweet tea. It was actually pretty good, especially for the price. I mean, it’s not something I would sit and savor… it’s more like fodder for when I want to have something on hand in the fridge. It’s better than the everyday supermarket’s private brand, at least.

Maybe I’m not a tea connoisseur, just an ‘enjoyer’. Because I think this tea is quite good! It has just the right flavor for a good strong waker-upper. Completely fills the bill for me, and at the low price, the bill’s not too high! Brilliant!!!

Tried my first bag as a milk tea today. I ended up putting too much SCM in cause I was using up what I had left. I’m glad this tea is so strong cause it stood up pretty well to my overdose of sugar. I’m gonna hold off rating it until I try it by itself, but at least I know that it’ll serve well as a milk tea base.

Awesome, has great malty notes

This is a good basic breakfast tea that holds up quite well to the milk-dousing that I put most of my tea through. I like it! And you can’t beat the price.

I’ve been drinking this every morning for over 10 years. I’m not myself without it. I only like it with cream and sugar! :)
