Very smooth black tea as long as you follow directions and do not over steep.
Have been drinking Lucky Irish Breakfast Tea loose leaf tea for years. It is my go to hot beverage first thing in the morning and I enjoy the full flavor.
Bought on a whim, this is now a top favorite for morning. Flavor is full and mellow. Drinking it now, as a matter of fact!
After a trip to Ireland, I searched everywhere to find tea that tasted like theirs. Full bodied, rich with great flavor. Irish Breakfast is it. Great flavor. Prefect for my 3 cups a day!
This tea makes a bracing cuppa that is guaranteed to get you going in the morning!
Our favorite morning cuppa. Gets us going! Never want to run out
I decided to try this tea and really glad I did! It has a very smooth taste with plenty of flavor.
This is an excellent full-bodied tea. Just the way to start my morning.
I've been buying Luck Irish for over a decade. Obviously a winner with me. Has a smooth full bodied taste, but never too much tannin. I try other black teas from time to time, but this is by far my favorite.
I love this tea. Good rich flavor.. can make more than 1 cup with either a bag or loose leaf
my favorite for the morning -first time trying it as a loose tea..wow! it takes me back to my time in Ireland
Enjoying the breakfast blend
My pick for iced tea.
Have bought this tea many times and it's just perfect in the morning.
I’ve been drinking this for breakfast for over 10 years. It has a rich balanced dark tea. Best non organic tea on the market in my opinion.
This is currently our favorite tea. We like the full leaf so we can control the strenghth.
I have purchased this multiple times and it is one of my favorite black teas. And its amazing with a little lemon and honey.
Between this tea and the other two classic black teas on my shelf (British Breakfast aka English Breakfast and Earl Grey), I get all the morning and afternoon pick-me-up I could need. But, as some of you may know, Tea is the only herbal substance that not only can pick you up but also calm you down. For black teas, this is one of the tops in my book...
It is one of my favorite black teas because it has a little extra strength in flavor compared to the British Breakfast. With some milk, it's the perfect pick me up in the morning.
This is a satisfying, deep, rich black tea.
I've been drinking tea since I was a child. It was the first sip in the morning and the last at night. But we mostly used tea bags for the convenience. It's only recently that I have come to appreciate the simple pleasure of steeping leaf tea. Hard to explain, but it's a relaxing process that is especially lovely to do on a cold winter afternoon. Even though this tea is called a Breakfast tea, don't let that stop you. It's wonderful at any time of day.
Irish B is my favorite tea. It is robust and flavorful and love also adding a dash of liquid London Fog and you have a decadent cup that gives you a nice boost for the day. I keep the container and fill with the refill bag.
I like how the loose tea leaves allow you to vary the strength. The flavor is full-bodied and malty. I really enjoy it but wish is was stronger in these attributes and flavor (I used 2 tsp per 6 oz, as directed). But I will buy again!
Full body and flavor...not bitter like English breakfast tea.
One of my favorite teas. Always mellow and satisfying.
This tea has the perfect combination of sharpness and punch to make it a welcome addition to my rotation of morning teas. I brew it strong, and soften it with sugar and oat milk. It's my newest favorite black tea.
The Republic of Tea is my go to place for tea
The slightly malted flavor makes for a warm and friendly wake-up tea. I buy it in bulk and enjoy it every day.
This is my second purchase of this tea. It's great hot or cold.
I had been buying another brand of Irish Breakfast tea and it was getting very bitter. I hadn't had the ROT Irish Breakfast in quite awhile. This will be my new go to brand for Irish Breakfast. The tea is strong without being bitter. A great way to wake up on a cold fall morning.
Great robust and flavorful tea and look forward to drinking in my weekly tea rotation.
I prefer a good strong tea and this is a very pleasing. Assam and Ceylon make a great malty combination. Mornings are better with Lucky Irish tea!
Although I do not drink this particular brand, I do buy it frequently as a gift for my boss. She loves it! (I do like Irish Breakfast tea, but I have a few other favorites that I prefer. Based on those teas, I'm sure this meets ROT great standards and is one that should be tried.)
I make my iced tea with it.
My favorite black tea!
This is one of our favorite teas!
I enjoy this tea, yet the flavor profile isn't a perfect match for me. After recently switching from being a coffee drinker in the morning to tea, this has been a good substitute. However, there is a slight smokiness that will make me explore other options from the many available here before making this one my daily drinker.
My teen daughter became obsessed with drinking sweet tea over the summer. I was purchasing bottled sweet tea every week for her, but I didn't like the amount of sugar she was drinking. I convinced her to try making sweet tea using Lucky Irish. She loved it! I use 1/4 cup or 50 grams of sugar for 6 cups or 48 ounces of tea water. Compared to the bottled tea, she's only getting 12.5 grams of sugar instead of 27 grams per 12 ounce serving. That's a 54% decrease in sugar! And I'm saving money!
Been ordering the British Breakfast tea loose leaf for years from Republic Of Tea. This Irish variety is a pleasant change from that and has it's own distinct flavor, perhaps a bit stronger taste.
Delicious everyday tea!
Delicious black tea. Great start to the morning. Think I found my new favorite!
This tea reminds me of the tea I enjoyed as a child. I still add a little milk and sugar.
I've been making a pot of breakfast tea every morning for about 65 years now, and this Irish Breakfast Tea makes perhaps the tastiest tea I've ever brewed. I do like my tea a little strong, so I expect I'll be decreasing the time between re-orders so that I never run out between scheduled deliveries.
You might think that This tea would not differ from your Lptn Too much. You would be wrong. Thos blend is a distinctive and delicious Tea. I would recommend it.
I am loving this tea! It has the best taste. Such a treat.
Good stuff! Nice smooth quality.
I purchase this tea in bulk - 200 cups at a time. It's the best tea I've ever tasted, and I drink it all day long. It is full bodied and simply delicious. I brew each cup in a 20oz. container using two bags, and light cream.
The BEST morning tea!!!!!
Lovely in the afternoon & evening. Will not generally keep you up from sleep
My VERY favorite early morning wake-up tea. I've been drinking this tea for several years.
I have a small tin of the loose-leaf Lucky Irish Breakfast tea. I made a cup and it really doesn't have much flavor. The next time I tried it, I steeped it in boiling water for a good while...much longer than I would any other tea, thinking maybe it just needed more time in the water. It made little difference. I like my black tea to have a strong tea flavor and this one just didn't. What I do like about it is that it never got bitter, even after steeping it for longer than expected. If you like a non-bitter and mild tea, this is a good one for you. But if you want a strong tea taste, try something else.
This tea is rich, strong, and full. I like to brew it a little stronger than the recommendation and it is lovely. It doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste and is very smooth. It is the best Irish breakfast tea I've ever drank.
I love this tea. The Lucky Irish Breakfast Tea has a flavor superior to the British Breakfast Tea. Unfortunately, I must avoid caffeine, even in tea, and cannot drink Lucky Irish Breakfast tea often. Why is it not available in decaf?
I am a tea fanatic so the taste, depth, leaves are very important to me. This is one of the best with milk. I drink it British style.
Not just because I am Irish...I love this tea for morning and iced all day. It is just the perfect blend of black teas in my opinion.
This breakfast blend is the best. I have tried numerous teas from many places. Republic of Tea has a winner with this one. The leaves provide a full bodied, smooth cup that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
One of the best tasting teas I have ever had! Love it! Will buy again!
Soothing, smooth, colorful, fragrant, unbitter, tannin-low. I agree with one of the other reviewers: this is better than the other TROT "Breakfast" teas in my opinion. If the polite term "brisk" means "high tannin-bite", then this is not! thankfully. I hate that bitter aftertaste and it isn't here. Flavorful, easy to brew, medium body, forgiving - just good daily tea inexpensively
This tea is good by the mug or pot. Drink this with a splash of skim milk.Warm milk is best,but cold will do. Love the loose leaf teas. No sweeteners in my teas most times,but if my throat needs soothing I will add honey.
Irish Breakfast is such a simple tea, you wouldn't think there'd be a difference from one to another. But there is. This tea is the best. Rich flavor with absolutely no bitterness. I like to mix it with Earl Greyer to get an even deeper black tea flavor. It's divine.
I ordered the sample tin because I wasn't sure if I would like this tea. I found that I liked it even more than English Breakfast. It's an excellent morning tea. Next time, I will order a larger quantity.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the gold standard of morning tea. I'm always ordering taster tins of other things to compare, but I come back to this time and time again. It's robust yet balanced - exactly what black tea should be - and Republic of Tea offers a really good quality Irish. I could happily drink this every morning for life. I think it's a notch above the British Breakfast, for those of you trying to decide.
Absolutely delicious
I adore this tea. It is just strong enough for my taste. It is always pleasing to my pallet. I highly recommend this for those who like a black tea.
This company's version of one of my favorite teas - Irish Breakfast Tea - has become the ultimate for me. I have tried a number of different brands of this flavor, but Republic of Tea has perfected it to a level of goodness and beauty that makes me want to drink cup after cup. I will be restocking this tea whenever it runs out. Probably sooner rather than later.
After reading all of the comments and being a huge fan of Irish breakfast tea I decided to try this one. I was very disappointed in it. It was almost tasteless and I steeped it for the proper amount of time, even a bit over because I like full flavored tea. I will stick to my favorite Stash Tea Super Irish Breakfast Tea instead. It is fabulous!
I ran out of the regular irish bags and splurged for the full leaf this time. Couldn't be more pleased. The flavor is incredible. It's a full mouth cuppa that I find does not need any flavorings. It is a kick, of course. Wonderful for mornings when you need to get going quickly. I'm not fond of it cold, but hot it might well be my favorite yet. Really, really good.
Always a favorite. Great alone. But we sometimes buy loose leaf so we can also blend with other teas. This one works very well either way. For instance, we like the Coconut Pu-erh smokiness, but alone it can be overpowering. So we blend - and love the blend even more than Pu-erh alone.
This tea is wonderful in the morning. The full black flavor along with the malt gives me the punch I was looking for first thing in the morning. I wouldn't suggest drinking in the evening, but a wonderful new addition to my tea collection.
This is one of my favorite morning breakfast teas. I let it steep for 7 minutes (I like strong tea) and with a bit of raw sugar and half and half it is just right.
This has to be one of my favorite breakfast teas. Smooth and mild; capable to standing up to sugar, honey, milk or just alone. It's my go to coffee alternative.
For 16 years I stuck with a different brand of Irish breakfast tea, thinking no one could top it. Boy, was I wrong! I don't know how Republic of Tea has done it, but this tea can be brewed as dark as coffee, but without the high tannin level found in my other brand. My husband and I drank an entire mini taster tin in one sitting. Fantastic tea.
This is solid wake me up tea. Not too bold that it needs alot of mellowing with milk (sorry I use creamer at work!) but still a great solid tea
I thoroughly enjoy this tea. After arriving at work, I make a cup that I sip throughout the morning. I usually make another cup around two in the afternoon. I like this with about a teaspoon of half&half (just enough to take the edge off) and a teaspoon of sugar. At ~25 calories per cup, this is the most delicious low-cal drink you will have throughout the day.
