Irish Breakfast Tea Notes
A bracing blend of expertly-selected Assam and Kenyan teas - the first providing maltiness, the second brightness.
Our fastest-brewing and strongest tea - and a firm favourite with early-rising tea obsessives since its launch in 1998, when Fortnum's customers asked us for a very strong breakfast blend - a splash of milk is essential with this robust tea.

How to Brew
Boil water to 100°C, then brew for 3 minutes. Enjoy with milk.

What to eat with it
Such a strong-flavoured tea requires equally powerful food pairings - we recommend enjoying our Emerald Isle blend alongside a strong, thick-cut marmalade on toast, or alongside a Full English (or indeed, Irish) Breakfast.
