Irish Tea is well known a a wake-me-up brew. In the 1600′s, the first teas to come out of China were usually black, because they were easier to ship, due to their long shelf life. Black teas soon became the basic brew known to Europeans. In the 1800′s, India emerged as a tea growing force, and blends of leaves became popular.The Irish Breakfast tea was soon developed the classic Irish Breakfast Tea as a strong, sweet and highly caffeinated brew (though English importers created the blend, they were rather snottily referring to the brew’s ability to to cure the hangovers of Irish stereotypes). Our host, Red Leaf Tea, has always found it advantageous to keep a large stock of this Irish Breakfast Xtra Fancy blend on hand! Popular, sweet, and durable, this basic black suits all breakfasts, hungover or not!
