The only tea.

The Irish tea.

To be taken only in the morning unless you have no reason to sleep that night.

A tea to heal the disturbed mind and soul. A tea for the Irish.

Take half and half with even skimmed milk and you will never see coffee again.

Wake up and smell the tea.

How kind of the Amazon to offer it on line. I shall never again suffer tea-separation anxiety when the local grocer is out.

A source of peace and of comfort far from home. More powerful and peaceful than any artificial pharmeceutical prescribed. Take two cups and call me in the morning.

Thank you, O mighty Amazon.

Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. Irish Breakfast tea is a mixture of Ceylon and Assam (black) teas, well-known for its strong, malty taste.

OK, let's get down to brass tacks - Irish Breakfast tea is not for everyone. There's an old Irish saying that says that a proper cup of tea should be "strong enough for a mouse to trot on," and this tea is certainly within striking distance of that target! But, if you add milk and sugar to this fine tea, you will be rewarded with a smooth and full-flavored drink.

Irish Breakfast tea is in a class by itself among the teas I have drunk, in that it comes closest to being like coffee - that is having a strong taste that gets you up and going in the morning. Not all teas will stand up to a proper breakfast, but this one will. Overall, I have found this to be a wonderfully interesting tea, strong and robust.

And that's my review. If you want a tea that will round out your hearty breakfast, then Irish Breakfast tea is for you. If you want tea from a great tea producer, them Twinings is for you. I highly recommend this hearty tea!

In my opinion Twinings Irish breakfast tea is absolutely the best brewed tea around. It has a very robust flavor that is certain to wake you up. If you aren't a coffee drinker , this will become your "coffee" of choice. Excellent tea!! The price is also much less expensive than my local grocery store. If your looking for tea with a strong kick and excellent flavor, you gotta try this. Delicious!

Local grocery stores in our area sell the 20-count boxes for $3.99 to $4.89 each. This is an incredible deal, and with no loss of quality. In fact, I think the quality may be a bit better because the individual boxes are not manhandled by store clerks shoving them onto limited shelf space.

My husband converted to drinking tea about 6-7 years ago and has been quite particular in what he chooses to purchase. He used to buy the Lipton Black Tea with Honey and Lemon and it was no longer available. Finding a substitute that would be equally satisfying became quite problematic. He tried a box of Twinnings Irish Breakfast tea and added his own honey. He found it to be better than anything he could imagine. While it is not my first choice, I certainly put it in second place on my list, as I like English Breakfast tea. Nonetheless, this has a great flavor and warms the spot when looking for something special to drink. I highly recommend it!

I was so glad to have discovered this tea when my mom was visiting last year. She buys tea from the Gevalia coffee company which is very good but is very expensive, especially with the shipping, so just for the heck of it we bought a couple of small boxes to try out to see if we could come up with a cheaper alternative for her. One of them was the Twinings Irish Breakfast and I was amazed at the flavor. We in my family were all brought up on Lipton but I abandoned hot tea years ago for coffee. BUT now this tea is giving my morning cup of coffee competition! Since then I have also tried the English Breakfast but don't think the flavor is as rich.

I disklike coffee very much and found myself trying to find the perfect tea.
This is it.
It's strong enough to wake you up in the mornings and keep you up all night long to finish exams.
It has a full body taste and wonderful aroma.
It's best with a little sugar or honey and just a touch of milk. But I prefer just sugar normally.
If you like strong tea - this is the best. Let it seep from the bag for a few minutes it get it's full power.
Once you have this you will never go back to Lipton or ugh... Nestea...

This tea is the perfect wake-up beverage when I stumble out of bed. It really does give you that much-needed "oomph" to start out with. I recently weaned myself from coffee and a friend suggested Twinings. I bought the sampler package and settled on two favorites; Irish Breakfast in the mornings and Lady Grey in the afternoon. It is rather strong though, depending on how long you let it steep. I would suggest the minimum the first time just to get an idea of the flavor; at first I used a little half-and-half and a dallop of honey, but now I prefer it straight-up, just because I don't have that kind of time.

When I discovered I liked Twinings English Breakfast tea, I decided I would try Irish Breakfast tea. While it is not the strongest tea I have ever had it is certainly robust! I love the taste of coffee but gave it up a few years ago because it had too much caffeine, but there are times when you need something to help wake you up or keep you awake. This tea does the job.

The first few times I tried Irish Breakfast tea I had to add milk, but I am used to it now and drink it black. I cannot drink this tea within a few hours of bedtime or I will not sleep, but it is a wonderful full-bodied tea that isn't bitter if you don't steep it too long. If you are searching for an alternative to coffee (or simply want a stronger tea) Twinings Irish Breakfast tea is a good place to start.

I've been a strong black coffee drinker for 20 plus years, but had to quit drinking it due to problems with kidney stones. And I love my coffee! I looked for a substitute tea and couldn't find a really good one until I tried Irish Breakfast Tea by Twinings. I have to say, this is a blend with a hearty "kick-you-in-the-teeth" welcome that truly does live up to its namesake. Exactly what I wanted in the morning for that "Off you go!" attitude to start my day.

My grocer quit stocking it, so I looked on-line and found it here, and for much less than what I was paying. One thing to note, if you do run low before the replacement stock arrives is to save the used tea bag and let it hang until completely dry. Amazingly it will make a second cup, naturally not as strong however, still pretty good in a pinch.

Don't know about mixing stuff in it to tame the wild beast flavor. But, if you love your coffee black and thick, try this tea "raw"...this is the "MAD MAX" of teas.
