I like a strong tea with classic and potent tea flavors. This is the one. These days, I find that there are far too many teas out there that don’t really pisses much in the way of a classic tea taste, at least not immediately obvious to the pallet. This one is certainly the exception to the rule. But… I do have to leave it steep for the full 5min and then squeeze it slightly before removing it in order to achieve that ever-so-elusive yet so-often-sought-after beautiful tea flavor. I find that this brand, Bewley’s Irish Breakfast is very similar in taste to the American version of Red Rose — the blue box ‘Red Rose Original’. I mention this for anyone looking to find that extremely difficult one to get. Go with this one instead, if you have to, as it’s usually less expensive and much easier to find — yet with an almost identical profile in terms of flavor. Yep… This BIBT is a winner!
