The Irish are known to say that tea should be strong enough to stand you spoon up in it. This Irish breakfast tea is indisputably bold, yet lively with fun flowery undertones. And it will take all the milk and sugar you can give it!
Ingredients: Full leaf Black Tea from India and China.
Company description not available.
I LOVE this stuff! I misplaced it for a while but it has been found! Ahhhh! I need a wakeup today and there are two things that help me wake up and that is TEA and MUSIC so for the rest of today I declare a TEA and MUSIC Challenge! It’s been a while since the last time I did this but it seemed like people that did participate had fun with it! Who’s with me!?
Anyhow…
For this tea…I find this song to be fitting…

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by WHAM!!!!
As for this tea – it’s bold, it’s helpful on rough mornings, and it’s FAB! See my other notes!
I first used boiling water and a 3 minute steep. It melted my face and the astringency hurt my gut. Definitely too hot and too long.
Second try – Using just below boiling water and a minute and a half steep results in a really tasty cup of Chinese black mixed with what I believe is Darjeeling. It is like this wants to be fruity but won’t fully commit. There is a hint of smokiness in the background. Smooth and delicious.
Like this one a lot. Thanks TeaEqualsBliss.
Hope your Christmas was filled with family and sharing. Mom fixed a fabulous meal. I am stuffed.
We are supposed to have a blizzard over night and into tomorrow. I really need to go to work. I don’t know how many more days they will let me work. I hate snow and ice.
Seems like every time I try a tea I feel like I need to try it again. The rest of you can do great notes the first time. I will learn. Anywho, I will be trying this one again soon, but so far it is fabulous. I wanted a good black breakfast tea and I got it. This was a sample I got along with the basic black chai sample, and I think I actually like this more!
I cream and sugar my breakfast teas, so I like them bold. This is a deep rich flavor, just the right maltiness and power but without being a caffeine blast to the gut, and smooth enough to go with breakfast instead of overpowering it. Of course I sort of forgot about breakfast today and sat sipping instead.
I have had this song stuck in my head all day now. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could remember more of it, but the words always get muddled in the middle bits.
ha ha i get songs stuck too! i am a music trivia guy so if you get me a few lines i may get it for you!
Sorry, just saw your reply. I knew the name of the song, Finnegan’s Wake is a great old Irish song. Every real version is worth hearing. I once spent all night listening to every version i could find (that didn’t involve someone sitting in their dormroom with an acoustic and a webcam) on youtube. Trouble is that I had the Dropkick Murphy’s version stuck in my head, and well.. they drink quite a bit, and are punk, and I remember the pint-slapping parts and the general shape of the syllables way better than the actual words.
I give you a challenge: Read Finnegans Wake
As in…

I don’t read many books…usually collections of poetry, reference, magazine articles, etc.
Sounds like I would get rather lost…so…I would certainly see how this would be a challenge! LOL :)
…I have had Wake Me Up stuck in my head for the past hour… thanks oodles. ;)
