About Irish Breakfast

Fine Black Tea Leaf
Irish Breakfast
from Upton Tea
Irish Breakfast is a style of breakfast black tea. Like other breakfast teas, it is often a blend, and is defined more by its character than by the particular styles and regions of origin of tea used to produce the blend. However, Irish Breakfast tends to include Assam black tea in greater proportions, giving the blend a more malty character. Some Irish breakfasts are made only out of Assam.

Irish Breakfast is similar to English Breakfast, but tends to be significantly stronger. The tea is widely described with the Irish saying that tea should be "strong enough for a mouse to trot on".[1]
