Harney & Sons Irish Breakfast Tea | 16oz Assam Loose Leaf, Bold Caffeinated

Harney & Sons Irish Breakfast Tea

A true 100% Assam blend, Harney & Sons Irish Breakfast Tea invites a bold, confident start to the day. This 16-ounce bag yields a richly burgundy brew with a brisk, malty backbone, carrying an inviting aroma. It tastes substantial enough to carry milk or a touch of sugar, yet remains enjoyable sipping neat for those who prefer a purer black tea experience.

Heritage and Flavor

Traditional Irish blends trace their roots to Assam, and this version honors that lineage with small broken leaves rather than modern CTC pellets. The result is a full-bodied cup with a polished finish and a lively aroma that suggests warmth and refinement. The blend leans toward a classic profile that many tea enthusiasts associate with a reliable morning ritual.

• 100% Assam leaves deliver a malty, robust cup with presence
• A refined, traditional profile that holds up well with dairy or sugar

Aroma, Taste, and Pairings

Pour a moment to release the aroma—notes of malt, sweetness, and a hint of roasted barley waft upward. The body stands strong on the palate, with a smooth, balanced finish that invites second sips. It pairs gracefully with milk, honey, vanilla, or caramel notes.

• Great with milk for a creamy, comforting cup
• Supports flavor experiments like a splash of vanilla or caramel

Brewing for the Best Cup

To brew, use fresh, cold water and bring it to a rolling boil. Steep the loose leaf tea for 3–5 minutes, then taste and adjust. If you prefer a lighter cup, shorten the time; for a bolder cup, extend within the recommended range. The 16-ounce bag yields many cups of daily routine or weekend leisure.

• Steep 3–5 minutes for a strong, balanced cup
• Enjoy with milk, sugar, or neat for a purer profile

Versatility and Everyday Enjoyment

This Irish Breakfast serves as a versatile foundation for your tea moments. From a brisk morning wake-up to a comforting afternoon cup, its classic character adapts to your mood. Some fans also use it as a base for flavored add-ins or as a robust alternative to morning coffee.
