Nice aroma, with a mild earthy scent. The liquor (5 min steep) is a dark brown. Good flavor, easy to sip all day long. Nice blend.

Irish Breakfast (Loose) from Twinings
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend59 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 27th, 2022
The version I'm rating is from the "American" tin (packed in Greensboro, NC, but presumably shipped over in bulk to parse out for that purpose). It doesn't look appreciably different from the photo I uploaded off Twinings' website.
Dry aroma was surprisingly weak for an Irish Breakfast blend, but pleasant to the e...
Irish Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 8oz, sample packet, 212F, 5min
This is my first Irish breakfast tea (at least by the specific tea). This was a free sample in my most recent adagio box.
Aroma: I’ve had a few black teas from Adagio that were quite aggressive in their aromas. This is much more subtle; however, it’s very inviting. Remi...
O’Sullivan’s Favourite from TeaGschwendner
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend66 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 25th, 2020
Half-litre pot at home, made from very fine black tea leaves - the description on the label tea company's website mentions CTC from the best high plains of Africa - so tiny it looks nearly like granulate. Pours somewhat hazy dark copper brown with an orange taint (against white china) and no discernible sediment. Clear...

Irish Breakfast from Fortnum & Mason

Mar. 12th, 2020
Having never had Irish Breakfast tea before I was a bit taken aback when I opened the container to not find tea leaves, but little pellets like the low cost tea my brother buys! Having imported it all the way here I was really disappointed until I brewed some and discovered it makes the best milk tea ever.
This i...
Original Blend from Lyons
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

I'm on a quest to try all the Irish teas, and Lyon's was on the list. I hear there is a rivalry of sorts between Lyon's and Barry's and I can see why. Both are quite good and I would be happy to drink either.
Lyon's is similar to Barry's Gold blend, and I found it to be a tad smoother, and Barry's to be a little bri...

Nice mild brew that reminds me of the breakfast tea on the train between Edinburgh and London

River Shannon Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 9th, 2019
This is called an Irish breakfast, but for my tastebuds it seemed closer to an English breakfast or even a mainstream prebagged tea. It is pretty versatile and mellow. It goes best with milk but can take lemon or be used for masala also. Good.

I haven’t tried a lot of Irish breakfast teas, but I like this one. It has a very smooth quality. It’s caffeine isn’t actually too intense, and it doesn’t turn bitter easily the way some black teas can. This is a solid breakfast tea, I think. :-)

Adagio's Irish Breakfast is a well-priced aromatic blend that goes best with a bit of milk. I disagree with the company's "malty" descriptor. The dry leaf has a twangy jammy aroma that is very pleasant. An overall solid daily tea.

This tea has a very nice blend of maltiness and citrus at an extremely good value!

This is truly a seamless blend, as Adagio calls it, of their Ceylon Sonata and Assam Melody teas. It stands up well to milk and sugar, but doesn't *need* it as some Irish Breakfast teas do.

Irish Breakfast from Murchie's Tea & Coffee Ltd
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 13th, 2016
I haven't tried many Irish style (Afternoon or Breakfast) teas, so my opinions thereon may not be worth the electrons wasted to paint these letters across your screen. Regardless, I haven't had a bad one yet. Murchie's various black-tea offerings have proven to be right up in the top echelon of any black teas I've ha...

Original Blend (Green Label) from Barry's Tea
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 15th, 2016
This was a humble flat paper tea bag that surprised me with its quality. It was very different from the Gold Blend (the one with the red label) from this same company.
Brews a very rich, dark cup that is thick and full-flavored. The aroma is strongly malty, and upon drinking the whole cup there's a hint of winterg...
Irish Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Oct. 5th, 2015
Rather mild. Fruity smell. Tastes woody, earthy, maybe a bit salty. Moderately astringent. I found it energizing.
I've tried the two Adagio teas that this is apparently a blend of, but this tastes totally different from either.

Sep. 17th, 2015
This is a STRONG black tea - that stands up well to sweetener and/or milk (I never put milk nor cream in tea but if you do this is a good one). Brews up DARK in seconds. You can easily get 2-3 infusions from a bag. May no longer be available?
Not a holy grail - but a solid, caffeinated "Breakfast-style" tea that ...
River Shannon Breakfast Blend from Upton Tea Imports

Apr. 30th, 2015
A classic, yet exemplary Irish Breakfast tea: true to the style, but also top-quality. My favorite Irish Breakfast tea yet.
Dry leaf is dark and smell pleasant, fruity (like dried fruit), malty, and slightly spicy.
The brewed cup is strong and smells surprisingly much of wintergreen, which I love. There are als...

This tea was a bit bitter and too strong for my taste. Regarding Irish bagged teas, I guess I'm a Barry's fan. I suppose I'm in the minority.

As far as I know, this is the only blend of Assam and Darjeeling. The result is an outstanding flavor, and a wonderful tea, in the Irish style, with a bit of milk.

This tea is pretty good. It's strong, rich, and not too bitter. I added cream and sugar.

A pleasant and drinkable Irish Breakfast, true to the style: very strong. Nothing amazing, but decent quality for a tea bag at the low end of the price range. A sample from the Philadelphia Coffee and Tea Festival.
A very strong tea, and true to the Irish Breakfast style, but I thought it was just a tad harsh. Co...
Dublin Morning Tea from Bewley's Coffee and Tea Company

This was my morning tea of choice this AM. Since I try to get my caffeine in before noon, I really went for it this morning with a strong black tea. My box is almost gone. I enjoyed this tea. Not fancy but reliable. I pretty much knew what I was getting, a tea I can add adequate amounts of sugar and cream to and b...

Fortnum and Mason teas - especially the Black,strong Irish breakfast, brings back memories of England for me. This will wake you up for sure - and I need sugar or honey in it - and is better hot than iced in my opinion. (true Brits would put milk it this.)

This blend is complex, and with each sip on the morning I notice something new about it. It's worth it!
