What are Irish Breakfast Tea Bags?

Irish Breakfast Tea Bags are a blend of black teas in 25 tea bags. Breakfast blends are built to be brisk and full-bodied, and the Irish style is traditionally the maltiest of them.

About Irish Breakfast

Unlike Earl Grey, a breakfast blend carries no added flavoring; the character comes from the blend of leaf itself. It brews dark and strong, which is why it's the classic base for tea with milk.

How to brew Irish Breakfast Tea Bags

Use one tea bag per cup. Pour hot water over the bag and steep to taste, then lift the bag out. See the brewing chart below for the water temperature and steep time we suggest for this style. Each pouch holds 25 tea bags (net wt 2 oz (57 g)), and the bags are unbleached paper with no staples, strings, or tags.
