Bewley's Irish Breakfast is built differently from most Irish teas. Where Barry's and others draw from East Africa for brightness and golden color, Bewley's goes entirely Indian - high grown Assam for malt and strength, Darjeeling for complexity and depth. The result is a fuller, creamier cup with a darker brew and a character that stands apart. Strong enough to cut through milk completely, which is exactly how it's meant to be drunk. If you want a serious morning tea that doesn't pull its punches, this is it. If you enjoy Bewley's Irish Breakfast, our Scotch and Abram's Irish Breakfast is our take on that same bold, full-bodied cup. Available in individually wrapped teabags. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk. This tea is built for it. One bag makes a strong cup. Adjust steep time rather than adding a second bag. How does it compare? Stronger than Bewley's Gold Blend Similar to Barry's Classic Blend Similar to Thompson's Irish Breakfast The strongest in the Bewley's range and one of the bolder Irish breakfast teas we carry. If you drink Barry's Classic Blend or Thompson's Irish Breakfast, Bewley's Irish Breakfast sits in the same territory - full bodied, malty, and built to start the day.
