Bewley's Dublin Morning Tea, 80-Count

Bewleys Dublin Morning is an excellent black tea that is a good example of the Irish breakfast style. Although perhaps less interesting than Bewleys Irish breakfast, this tea is strong, rich, and very flavourful and is perfectly suited to starting off your day.This tea is actually more typical of the Irish Breakfast style than Bewleys Irish Breakfast. The IB is a rather unique blend of Assam and Darjeeling while Dublin morning is blend of various African teas. It brews a dark cup with an enticing “teaish aroma” that is malty and quite comfortingThe taste is full bodied, bright, rich, and very smooth. The flavour is similar to other all or mostly African teas such as Lifeboat or Barry’s Gold, but stands out as distinctly Bewleys. Although strong, the tea has less bite than teas containing Assam. It is pleasant straight , but at its best with milk, resulting in a rich and creamy cuppa. It is very good with both milk and sugar and makes an excellent breakfast brew. It also makes very good cold brew iced tea. Although I ultimately found it less interesting than Bewleys Irish Breakfast, I still think this is one of the better bagged examples of this style of tea.

I've been doing taste tests on different black pekoe teas, some from the grocery store like red rose, tetley, luzianne, a few of those are decent, some you need 2 bags for an 8 ounce cup! Now, Bewleys Dublin Morning is one of my very favorite, I heat up the pot first, then use 2 bags for 16 ounces water, steep 5 min, add some sugar, little cream and WOW- just AWESOME tea, not bitter like Lipton or Nestea can be. The taste is SMOOTH and I get a nice rich tea flavor right through my cream and sugar. I like using pet milk, aka, evaporated milk in my coffee and can get a little 5 ounce can for 80 cents, lasts me all week, and I usually buy quite a few so when I run out, I don't have to get in the car, I just go to the cupboard and open another can-YEAH!I found the cutest little white porcelain, 8 ounce milk bottle at our Meijers, even has a soft rubber lid, I put the PET milk in there for the tea, keeps it fresh and doesn't pick up odors. I also ordered Bewleys Irish Afternoon tea which I have yet to try, can't wait to be blown away again. I guess my interest in Irish teas was sparked by my daughters recent trip to Ireland and England and she brought me home a box of Irish Breakfast Tea! by Irish Clipper Tea Co. it also is an amazing strong, full bodied tea, only it is, like the Bewleys, caffeinated, and once I hit 50 yrs old, found I can only drink decaf after 5pm or I'm up all night. I find it is definately easier to find a good tea if it's caffeinated, so many of the decaf are wimpy, you have to think, am I tasing tea? or just the cream/sugar? I'm so thankful for Amazon and all the teas they offer, I will be ordering more of this tea, and others, and the customer input is also very important and I appreciate everyone who has spent the time to help others make an informed decision. So enjoy your morning CUPPA, relax, and all is well with you and the world......

Our family drinks a LOT of tea. Not just a lot, but a lot of different kinds - we are the types who have a different preparation for different greens.I have lots of favorites, but this is the tea that makes the best "proper cup" - brewed strong, 5 bags to the pot, in a preheated teapot, allowed to steep 3-4 minutes, bags removed after that to prevent it getting overly bitter, and served with NO SWEETENER and just enough half-and-half to make it an amber color... lighter than rust, but darker than beige.Barry's doesn't compare. PG Tips is good, and close to this, but Bewleys... it has this property to the taste that I can only describe as "chewy", but that sounds weird. It's bitter, but not overly bitter like Barry's, but with half-and-half it's like it's more substantial than it is. Fulfilling. Bracing. Like you're taking more sustenance than it gives you.In conclusion, this tea is the reason why Amazon rules the world now. It has less to do with 2-day delivery, and much, much more to do with the fact that a sublime tea that the local grocer carried for two weeks in 2012 and hasn't had since, is available here all the time. Buy some.

I first tried Bewley’s in Dublin in 2009.It’s smooth, not overpowering or bitter, but not so weak that you have to leave the tea bag in to give it flavor.Fabulous!

I love black tea in the morning with a bit of honey and a splash of milk. I like a nice strong profile to my black tea and this one is perfect to my taste buds. It's not too stout and not to weak...it's just right. Its my new favorite black tea.

This blend was my first experience drinking Bewley's tea. I found that I liked it very much. Loved it,that is. There was one cup of it that I felt was probably the best tea I'd EVER tasted, but I've never been able to duplicate the flavor of that one cup! --Have found that my tea is best if I make it in a pot instead of a cup and carefully follow basic classic good tea-making instructions, i.e., pour boiling water in the pot to prepare it beforehand, then when tea-water is boiling, pour out the hot water from the teapot, put in tea-bags (1 to each 8 ounces of water), pour in the boiling tea-water, place the lid, let steep 4 or 5 minutes. It seems that Tea made in a pot comes out mellower, less harsh-tasting than in a cup. Still, I keep getting different flavor results with each different pot of tea I make. Very mysterious problem. Maybe I need to time the process precisely with each cup or batch and note down the results of each different timing, then see if the timing produces a consistent result every time.(I used to flavor my tea with honey, but now I prefer Xylitol sugar substitute which is mild but satisfying, has less calories, and possibly is healthier.)I also love Barry's Tea. Both Bewley's and Barry's are my super-favorites. (Not available in my grocery so am happy that I can order both brands through Amazon and can get super-saver no-shipping-fee.)

Would like a bigger tin to hold the full size box

I love this tea. Malty is a good thing; its malty yet smooth.
