Bewley's Original Blend - formerly known as the Green Blend - is an award winning tea from one of Ireland's oldest tea companies. A gold medal winner at the Irish Food Awards and a Great Taste Award winner, it draws from Kenya, Rwanda, and Assam for a well-rounded, satisfying cup that sits on the lighter end of the Bewley's range. Balanced and approachable without being thin. The kind of tea that works all day without ever feeling like too much. If you're new to Bewley's, this is a good place to start. If you enjoy Bewley's Original, our Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend is our take on that same balanced, golden cup - medium bodied, smooth, and easy drinking. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Works well with or without milk. A shorter steep keeps it lighter and brighter. How does it compare? Lighter than Bewley's Gold Blend Fuller than Bewley's Irish Afternoon Similar to Barry's Irish Breakfast The lightest in the Bewley's black tea range and a natural all-day tea. If you find Bewley's Gold a touch heavy, this is the step down. Barry's Irish Breakfast is the closest comparison across brands - both are light, bright, and built for drinking throughout the day.
