Black Tea

I wanted to find the best Irish breakfast tea when comparing the most popular brands: Barry’s, Lyons, and Bewley’s.

Iced tea doesn’t have to be bad for you, in fact, it’s actually a really healthy drink without any sugar… if you know how to make it!

I stumbled onto the wonderful world of Darjeeling tea. Darjeeling black tea stands out because there are several harvest throughout the year. These harvest drastically change the tea you get.

You’ve most likely heard of Assam, Darjeeling, and Ceylon black tea. But, there are many other varieties of black tea, even from the same tea producing country that are worth discovering.

As it turns out, breakfast tea is not just from England. But I wondered, what makes it English vs. Irish vs. Scottish breakfast tea blends? Does it come down to where they’re from or is there actually a difference between them?

Earl Grey tea is one of my all time favourite go to teas. It’s perfect when I don’t want something too bitter, but I still want a pick me up. But, not all Earl Grey teas are the same. I wanted to find out what the best Earl Grey tea on the market was.

Earl grey is delicious, but what about an Earl grey latte!?

All tea comes from one plant: Camellia Sinensis? It’s a shrub or small tree that grows in China, India, East Asia, and Sri Lanka (Ceylon teas). You use the leaves and leaf buds to make the tea (or even the stems and twigs for twig tea!).
