Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

Irish Breakfast is just a great, no fuss black tea, the kind you get at high tea in England. It is comparable to the tea that we have had in England and British Canada. I have tried Teavana's other black teas. The only one which is as good or better is the Black Dragon Pearl. All the rest, including the copper ---, ---monkey, earl grey and english breakfast are just not full body enough for my taste.

Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

My usual tea's are golden monkey, english breakfast, copper knot, assam gold rain and himalayan majestic. This is my new favorite, and the one I reach for when I get home. I love this tea with a a hint of the rock sugar! I would buy this anyday over the others mentioned above.

Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

I love a good strong tea that is not bitter and this is it. I have bought qite a few teas and have finally found "The ONE". I add two splenda packets and two mini moo's and it just takes me to a very happy place, any-time of day.
Don't let it steep for longer than the recomended time or it does become bitter.

Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

I am happy to see this tea return to Teavana. This is a straight-up, fully rounded, robust tea with a rich aroma that will draw you from across the room as it steeps. I use two teaspoons of tea to 12 oz. of water (about 1/3 again more than recommended by Teavana) because I like it a little stronger. I find that brewing more than the recommended 3 to 4 minutes puts a bitter edge on this tea. I usually drink teas plain, but I do add a small amount of sugar to this one because I find it brings out the roundness of flavor. Beautiful color -- no milk, please! Who needs coffee?

Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

I mix it with other teas, or I use it just by its self.
It's good for a early morning wake up because it is so fast to make, & it just plain wakes you up.
I would drink coffee, but found that i enjoy Irish Breakfast far greater & it had less after affects.
It's also good for the afternoon, maby not for at night tho unless your a night worker like me. ^_^

It's a really good pick me up, I always seem to be in a greater mood after I drink Irish Breakfast.

I like it better than English Breakfast, cause I think Irish Breakfast has more of a classy creamy, yet a wee bit smokey flavour.

This is by far my favourite Tea. ☺

Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

This tea is the perfect morning tea. I also work late on a frequent basis and driniking so much coffee led to some bad stomach aches. Just one cup of this tea gets me going and I am not sensitive to caffeine. If you feel this tea is not strong enough, steep longer or with more leaves because I find it to be perfectly strong for the tea purist. I drink it without any sugar or milk and I love it!

Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

All you taste in this one is the leaf. That's not a bad thing. This is a simple tea that everyone should have in their tea collection. Great by itself or when making your own custom blends. Great for cooking too. This is not a strange tea and it would be a nice introduction to loose leaf tea if you are just beginning. Although I don't sweeten many teas...this one is better with a sprinkling of sugar and a splash of cream. Great tea for a novice drinker!!!!!

Comments about Teavana Irish Breakfast Black Tea:

This is one of the best black teas around, and Teavana has decided to get rid of it from their line-up. This is a perfect strong morning tea. It isn't ashy tasting like the Black Dragon Pearl or mild like the Himalayan Majestic Tea. I am so sorry to see this one go. Please bring it back!!

I use it as a morning tea. I enjoy Irish Breakfast teas and expect them to give me my morning kick. This tea is milder than most Irish Breakfast teas. I mixed it with the White Ayurvedic Chai and the results was a very pleasing blend.

I've tried many different blends of Irish Breakfast, and this is by far the best! Rich and smooth, with a toe-curling aroma both before and after brewing.
