Irish Breakfast Tea - Loose Leaf Pouches

Have had Irish Breakfast tea from several brands and this is the worst. Usually, Irish Breakfast tea is smooth and sturdy, you know you are sipping a caffeinated beverage. The English Store brand is bitter, a brown color, no flavor and no caffeine kick.

This is the best tea ever. Robust taste without the bitterness. Great price

My husband and I have been drinking this wonderful Irish Breakfast tea for years. It has a full-bodied, rich, malty flavor we both love every morning!

A good full bodied tea without bitterness so often found in pre-packaged supermarket teas. For a long time I used milk or cream but with this and other English Tea Store teas, I do not because the tea is smooth and full of flavor. This loose Irish Breakfast Tea brews quickly so do not let it steep for 5 minutes as it is ready in 2-3, less if you like a lighter tea. Also, we use the larger (about 3" x 4") tea filters (bags) which allow plenty of water to circulate. This is a great robust morning tea and is equally satisfying in the afternoon after working in the yard.

This tea is an excellent choice for someone who is looking for a traditional tea with outstanding flavor. Hot or iced, it provides a bold and assertive boost to the morning.

I've been drinking this tea for 5 years every morning. I wake up looking forward to drinking a cup of this irish Breakfast. It's so satisfying and joyful.

I am primarily an English Breakfast drinker, but when I want something a little stronger this tea is perfect! A beautiful strong black tea!

The kids and I don't start our day with out Irish breakfast tea. Grateful we were introduced to it.

The Irish Breakfast Tea is a CTC style tea, which means it brews very quickly. While the tea is good when steeped for a minute or two, it quickly becomes bitter during longer steep times. Keep an eye on the watch, and you'll enjoy a fine, full-bodied breakfast tea.

Irish breakfast teas are one of my favorite kind of teas and this is one of the better blends I have had. Will be buying more when I run out.

(Posted on 2/28/14)

Along with the English Breakfast Blend #2, this is my choice for a breakfast tea. It has that wonderful smooth yet vibrant taste of the best teas.

(Posted on 2/13/14)

Had more depth of flavor than the stores English Breakfast tea and
had no objectionable metallic finish.

bought it for the first time and really enjoyed it.tea was strong and price was reasonable

(Posted on 1/22/14)

This is a good stong tea but not at all bitter like some I've tried in the past. A great alternative to coffe in the morning.

I have been drinking this English Tea Store Irish Breakfast tea for a few years now. No matter how hard I try I cannot get past it. I love this stuff.

Okay, why so intense? Well a few years ago I was looking for a tea that had a lot of body, a wake up tea you might say. After trying several teas I finally decided to give this one a try. Well that was all it took. This tea has been my daily staple since.

I guess what I like so much about this Irish breakfast is that it brews a good stout cup of tea in 7 minutes. It is not bitter, but full of flavor while being kind to the palette, ( I take mine with one sweetener and one creamer). Irish breakfast is my morning wake up. I always order this tea when my supply requires replenishment. I highly recommend this tea to everyone searching for a full bodied tea that will make you smile and carry you through the day.

I like a fairly strong tea and this fits the bill, depending on how your brew it. Irish breakfast is a stout and flavorful brew that gives you a distinct and robust taste experience. A great mornig tea, or also good for anytime, this tea renders a sense of no frills, stout downhome flavor that awakens the spirit and kickstarts the day. I like to add some sweetener and creamer to bring out the full flavor of this hearty tea. I highly recommend this to anyone that yearns for a tea with body and always leaves you wanting another cup.

I've been buying this and enjoying it for years. A friend suggested buying from another tea store. I came right back to English Tea Store, this is the best. Everyone I share it with also becomes a fan.

love it plain or with milk ,when you drink this you know you drinking something (lol)

(Posted on 11/22/13)

Another fine tea both hot and iced.
A little bit lighter tasting than Scottish Breakfast and equally as enjoyable. Especially when brewed with a bit of Lady Londonderry for a bit of citrus flavor to top it off.
Highly recommended.

Rest assured this is a good solid cuppa. This store's brands NEVER disappoint. Good and solid

strong but not bitter a fine way to start the day

(Posted on 11/5/13)

I’m a repeat buyer of this delicious tea! Great Tea

(Posted on 11/5/13)

I love the beautiful aroma and red color of the Assam notes blended with the robust Kenya! This is my favorite! Great Tea

(Posted on 11/5/13)

Great flavor! Good choice for those who prefer the taste of loose tea to teabags. It can become very strong if left to steep more than 5 minutes or so. Fortunately, I am able to remove the basket of tea from the teapot to prevent bitterness. Black tea (Irish Breakfast)

My favorite everyday tea. Starts my day everyday. Reminds me of home. My basic stple

Irish Breafast tea is as close as tea comes to coffee as any tea I have tasted. Easily one of my favorites, this tea brews into a smooth, yet powerful, dark tea. Be forewarned, this is not a tea to drink before bed unless the sleeper intends to slumber lightly. Irish Breakfast, A robust Beginning

(Posted on 11/5/13)

This tea offered by English Tea store is excellent! It is a strong flavored tea, which i like. I now use this as a substitute for coffee. English Tea store's sales and services are excellent.

(Posted on 11/5/13)

This is an excellent moring tea full of flavor but not as much bite as the Scottish Breakfast tea. Great with breakfast

(Posted on 11/5/13)

The first pot I brewed I used too much and WOW, it was very strong. Once I figured out how much to use, it has become my favorite tea. If I’m still sleepy, just drop a few more leaves in and I’m awake in no time. And it has a great taste too. It’s not coffee but it certainly gives you that buzz. Excellent Eye Opener!

(Posted on 11/5/13)

An excellent strong breakfast tea when brewed for 5min. This smaller leaf size brews pretty fast, so if you like your can shorten brew time and still get a great morning cup of tea. Gooood Morning!

(Posted on 11/5/13)

I look forward to every cup of this wonderful tea! It has a slight malt note that is just right for morning drinking; it is strong, smooth, and greatly satisfying. It’s also really suitable for anytime of the day. Highly recommended! Good Morning-Good Anytime

(Posted on 11/5/13)

An excellent flavorful tea, not too strong, but just right. I like it fresh brewed with nothing in it. My favorite. Good flavorful tea

(Posted on 11/5/13)

Nice smooth and wonderful aroma with beautiful<br>color in clear glass. Drinking it any time of day..<br>or night after dinner. "A little goes a long way". Splendid flavor

(Posted on 11/5/13)

the ETS Irish breakfast tea I’ve used was ground very fine and then compressed into granuals. It still works well in a mesh tea infuser, but like other finely ground teas, you have to be careful not to steep it too long. I like the Scottish Breakfast tea the best of the breakfast teas, but the Keemum Panda Chinese black tea is by far, the best black tea at ETS. Good, but finely ground

This tea is great for breakfast and even better for strong Iced Tea. Super

(Posted on 11/5/13)

Irish Breakfast tea is one of my favorites, strong enough to get you going in the a.m. and also makes very good iced tea. very good bold tea

(Posted on 7/22/13)

The best way to start the day. This full bodied and stout tea is a breakfast table must. Holds well to a natural sugar and milk. A morning staple

(Posted on 7/2/13)

The perfect cup for when you wake up. Robust, excellent flavor, takes milk well. great morning cuppa

(Posted on 6/6/13)

This is one of my favorite teas. It is robust and malty and goes well with lemon or milk and sugar. Sometimes I mix in green tea for a the antioxidants, since I’d rather eat grass than drink green tea brewed without another strong tea. Good strong start to the mornin

The Irish BT is a very good tea with plenty of flavor and color. I find it to have a little "bite" when compared to Scottish BT and perhaps not quite as robust. It is most assuredly richer than the various British BTs. A very nice alternative to the Scottish . . . at least every once in awhile. Very Good

(Posted on 4/12/13)

Very good tea. A good morning tea. Irish breakfast

(Posted on 4/11/13)

I love to have this tea in the late morning. It gives a lift. Great

(Posted on 3/20/13)

Many have used the word "robust" to describe this tea. That would be accurate. I also found it to be rather "malty". After drinking it the first time, it immediately moved into my top three favorites. Strong but smooth. Excellent!

(Posted on 1/19/13)

(Posted on 1/6/13)

This is perfect for breakfast. Does not even need any honey which is what I normally use in my tea. Perfect for breakfast

(Posted on 12/17/12)

Love the great taste and aroma of this tea. Every cup is perfect. Great tea

(Posted on 12/8/12)

Fabulous stuff with which to start our day! Toss in some Earl Grey extra bergamot and you’ll be in Heaven!<br> This company’s service is remarkable! Irish Breakfast loose tea
