Steenbergs Irish Breakfast Tea

Steenbergs Irish Breakfast Tea, loose leaf, is a strong breakfast loose leaf tea. We blend it from a number of different estates from India and round it off with a small amount of Ceylon and Nilgiri teas for smoothness. The result is a strong brew with a deep coppery brown, rich colour and works well with milk and sugar. This is a classic strong Breakfast Tea that will blow those morning cobwebs away.

Tea brewing: Boil freshly drawn water, then pour on the tea leaves.

• For a mug: Put 1 teaspoon per cup of tea and steep for about 5 minutes.
• For a pot: Put 1 teaspoon per cup of Irish Breakfast tea plus 1 teaspoon for the pot; steep for about 5 minutes. Add a little milk and sugar if you wish.

Axel’s tasting notes: Irish Breakfast is a robust brew.
