Irish breakfast tea
Strong morning cuppa
Irish breakfast tea is a robust black tea blend, typically stronger and maltier than English breakfast tea.
It often features Assam tea prominently, producing a rich, full-bodied brew that stands up well to milk and sugar.
The style developed in Ireland, where strong tea with milk became a cultural staple: She likes her Irish breakfast tea with plenty of milk.
