Irish Breakfast

Irish Breakfast is a strong, full-bodied loose-leaf black-tea blend for a brisk morning cup. It is darker and more emphatically malty than Porter Hill’s English Breakfast, with enough structure for a measured splash of milk.

Malty · Brisk · Full-bodied

Ingredients

Black teas.

The current blend record does not identify the individual origins, estates, leaf grades or proportions. The style name is not a claim that the tea was grown in Ireland.

Brewing guide

• Amount: 1 teaspoon per cup
• Water: freshly boiled water (100°C)
• Time: start at 2 minutes, then strain completely

If the cup is too light, use a little more leaf next time. If it is too drying, shorten the infusion rather than masking it with more milk.

Milk and caffeine

Add a small splash of milk after brewing and taste before adding more. The blend contains natural caffeine, but Porter Hill does not hold a laboratory result for the stated brew and does not claim a fixed amount per cup.

Storage

Keep the tea sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight, moisture and strong aromas.
