Welsh Brew has been blending tea in Wales for over 25 years, crafting their teas specifically to complement Wales's naturally soft water. Welsh Brew Gold is their premium offering - a blend of the finest African teas, selected specifically for a richer, smoother, more refined character than the everyday original. Rainforest Alliance certified. Rich, smooth, and full-bodied with a luxurious finish. The all-African origin gives it a brightness and depth that distinguishes it clearly from the original Welsh Brew. Strong enough to take milk well, refined enough to appreciate without. The step up for those who want more from their everyday cup. If you enjoy Welsh Brew Gold, our Scotch and Abram's Britannia Blend is our take on that same smooth, full-bodied golden character - medium bodied, rich, and satisfying. 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 if you like. It holds up beautifully. Worth trying without milk first - the African character comes through cleanest. How does it compare? Lighter: Welsh Brew Original Similar Welsh character: Glengettie Similar to Bewley's Gold Blend Welsh Brew Original is the lighter everyday option from the same brand. Glengettie is the closest Welsh parallel - both are soft water blends with a similar bold, no-nonsense character born in Wales. Bewley's Gold Blend is the closest Irish comparison - both are premium gold blends with a similarly smooth, African-forward character.
