Freshly Packed to Order

Our teas are carefully packed to order to preserve aroma, freshness, and flavour

This versatile yet full-bodied tea is made from strong Indian Assam and offers up wonderfully bold and malty flavours. Assam black teas are strong and full-bodied, displaying delightful malty flavours and rich, complex notes, making them ideal for use in breakfast teas. Great when prepared either black or with milk and sugar, Irish Breakfast displays rich, dark red colours, and is the perfect brew for a chilly morning.

The Irish Breakfast tea blend typically includes strong, full-bodied teas from India or Sri Lanka, such as Assam in our popular variety .While it is now popular around the world, Irish Breakfast tea is of course believed to have originated in Ireland and was popularised in the 19th century, becoming a staple in Irish tea culture.

Customers consistently praise this breakfast tea for its "strong and flavoursome" profile with a "lovely dark colour" and "malty flavour." Shoppers describe it as "really good quality" that makes a "nice strong cup" and note it's "cheaper if you buy in bulk." One minor note: it may "take a while to brew but worth the wait."

Proper Tea.

We started getting our Irish Breakfast Tea from Tea Direct at the start of lockdown. We used to drink Irish Breakfast as an occasional treat but we drink it every day now as we love the flavoursome hit. It has become a cherished ritual and a centrepiece of our day. There is no going back.

Full bodied and great flavour

This is definitely the best breakfast tea we've tried so far. The leaves are huge so you don't get the dusty bits swirling around at the end of your cuppa. Great rich flavour and just a perfect way to start the day.
