During World war 2 Ireland had to independently source its own supply of tea, The British government, restricted exports to Ireland in an effort to punish the country for its neutrality. Irish tea merchants started travelling, and quickly they found that darker teas from East Africa as opposed to the lighter Indian and Sri Lankan leaves popular in England. Relationships were established in Kenya and other East African countries, which allowed Ireland to secure the pick of the crops grown there. Irish people drink what is frequently described as the highest-quality tea in the world. If you want to present yourself as drinking authentic Irish tea then you should be drinking Lyons or Barrys tea
Irish Breakfast tends to be a stouter brew than the English, at least in my experience. It's robust with a hearty malty undercurrent, and it takes far less sugar, lemon, or milk than most other teas I've tried. It's my personal favorite, and while I mostly like it to give a good kick in the pants to start the day with, it does go nicely with afternoon tea and scones too. Nothing against the English Breakfast, love that kind too.
I live in England, I don't have sugar in my tea and not too much milk. Always put the milk in after pouring the tea. Also the brand of tea makes a huge difference, there are some cheap teas out there that will put you off tea. As for deacaf tea? Avoid it unless there's a reason you can't have caffeine. Its hilarious to me how many Americans claim they are Irish! Maybe a relative of theirs was 200+ years ago though. Who knows. Anyway, try different black teas, Assam is good, go for twinnings or Yorkshire tea, or pg tips
There are alot of people of Irish descent in the US, but usually its mixed with other ethnicities and may not be immediately apparent. Most of their ancestors came over in the potato famine in the mid 19th century.
Thanks for adding Assam and Darjeeling in your Video...these both are in India...i am feeling proud to be an Indian and also feeling proud that Irish and English people like our tea.
Irish Breakfast is my faaaaaavorite! I love to drink it with a splash of milk. I sell Steeped Tea brand tea, would you be amiable to a sample for tasting?? Just love to share tea love with others. Also, Lyons brand tea from Ireland is my absolute favorite.
I drink A LOT of coffee and I drink it during the day occasionally and tea has started to replace the coffee I drink accept one the morning I need that to get up.
The reason the English started using milk and sugar in their tea .. is because it's basically pee... and they needed milk and sugar to provide any taste at all. You may as well just drink boiled water .. Now here in Ireland .. if the spoon doesn't stand up in the cup then it's poured down the sink.
Happy st Patrick’s celebrate Irish ☘️ Tea black loose leaf 🍃 tea 🍵 in a pot with hot water till it’s black and strong, a wood 🪵 tannin, almost slightly bitter add milk 🥛 and no sugar I can’t add sugar.
As always this was so interesting, especially when I heard about why us Brits add milk and sugar because we still do to all black teas!! I would love to hear more about fruit teas when you feel inspired xx
Honestly, I don't drink many myself. I will if they're blended with either a white or a black tea. I could maybe do a fruit blend episode or something hmmmm....
I like a little weed in my green tea ! not only does it relax me but I do love that weed buzzzzzzzzzzz !!!! Black widow brand just a little bud will do the trick !
I enjoyed your story of tea! I recently bought Berry's tea gold blend for the first time and loving it so much! As you said, robust, bold and strong taste.. I've been drinking it straight I bet it'll be good with some cream in it too!
Same - I know maybe one person who adds sugar to tea in Ireland. And they always make a disclaimer that they know they’re atypical as other people usually comment.
Lipton quart-size bags, steeped strong. Stir in 3/4 c. to 1 full c. of sugar while hot for a half-gallon of tea. Chill COMPLETELY before serving. You can't just pour the tea over ice immediately after brewing and expect an authentic sweet tea. Sugar molecules break down into fructose and glucose in the presence of heat and water, and the tongue doesn't interpret either to be as sweet as the disaccharide sucrose. Some sugar molecules will rejoin into sucrose as the tea chills, thus making sweet tea.
The Deglutenizer I remember Alton Brown making sweet tea with Lipton on his show waaaaay back. And I have a TON of it lying around from an old challenge video. Hmmmm....I think this needs to happen!
Too many things have come up and I am just watching this now! I’m loving this! Rooibos can be a good start if you’re branching out other than Black Tea
Yes! All different. England was sourcing their tea and had access to different resources (dairy, sugar) at different points in time. So they're all different 💖☕
Yay! I love what is, especially the good stuff 😁 now i dont have to feel guilty! What is Tea suggestion: Apricot Brandy....so DELICIOUS heaven in a cup! 💝
I'm British and I'm not really a fan of breakfast tea hate how most Americans think that everyone drinks tea 1456789870000 times a day most brits that I know hate tea and are more coffee or hot chocolate drinkers btw tea actually came from China originally tea is not strictly British it's chinese
The Electric Oracle of course! I'm Irish American and proud 😊 I was even an Irish dancer growing up and I sing an Irish folk song for March here on TH-cam! Welcome to the fam 💗☕✨

@@HyperHorse Hahaha, I just really love what I'm talking about 😹
@@MissMaryLu miss Black tea has more caffeine than American coffee but American coffee is stronger than tea ?

i cannot imagine having this much energy
Maybe it's from the caffeine from all of the tea? 😅

How'd you get thectea that lively color? My Twinnings never gets that color. 🍵
Irish breakfast tea is really peaty or earthy, and a bit mushroomy. It reminds me of some of the Chinese black teas.
What makes you think the Irish drink tea with a sweetener?
I drink A LOT of coffee and I drink it during the day occasionally and tea has started to replace the coffee I drink accept one the morning I need that to get up.
😍😍😍😘😘😘💖💖💖 thanks so much for doing this ep! It's was awesome!!
YAYAYAYAY! I'm so glad you liked it! thanks for suggesting it 😸

We can't drink shamrock tea, it only has three leaves.
I'd like to see a video on Harney's Scottish breakfast... Strongest and personal favorite tea. People need to know about it! Haha 😁
Oooo, I haven't tried it!!
@@MissMaryLu it's actually called "Scottish morn" oooops. Hah there's also a Scottish afternoon that's more mellow. Possible reaction video? 😏🤙
@@cadams122593 that's a GREAT idea...🤔🤔🤔
@@MissMaryLu chuck full of em hah jp I've just been trying so many breakfast teas I need more stuff to watch 😬 cute girl drinking tea is always nice 😁

I'm so glad you liked it! Any fruit teas, specifically? Or fruit teas in general?
Miss Mary Lu general like how to drink them and stuff, I have tried them but I never liked them, I didn’t add milk lol but yeah I would love to though
Honestly, I don't drink many myself. I will if they're blended with either a white or a black tea. I could maybe do a fruit blend episode or something hmmmm....
Miss Mary Lu ooh I’ve not heard of that so yes that sounds great xx
Mix 50%milk and 50 water boil it, add Nameri tea from Assam add sugar and add small piece of smashed ginger . Boil until it is strong n brown .

I love the ending!! Uk!
Welcome welcome 🥰🥰🥰
long island iced tea is my morning tea of choice
I add a single sugar cube to my tea. Not sure if that's just a norwegian thing or not seeing as most my family does it that way
Do we have a video about rating english breakfast brands in your own opinion?? pleaaaseee :3
Your a doll! I haven't seen ANYONE as funny as you on TV SINCE 93' 😂☕ Your a TRIP!
Aw aw aw Nilda!! You made my day!!
Irish. Actual Irish from Ireland. Everyone I know puts milk in his/her tea. Some throw in a sugar lump but I’d say most don’t.
Same - I know maybe one person who adds sugar to tea in Ireland. And they always make a disclaimer that they know they’re atypical as other people usually comment.
I would love to learn how to make southern sweet ice tea ☕️.
Oooo, I should look that up and get back to you. I had someone else ask for an Iced Tea Update, too.

I love Irish Breakfast tea. 2nd fav is Earl Grey English tea.
I live in England and don't know anyone who puts sugar in their tea. Most of us like builders tea with very little milk.
All generalizations, of course. No offense intended.
is that a New York or New Orleans accent
Haha, New York 😊❤️☕
Too many things have come up and I am just watching this now! I’m loving this! Rooibos can be a good start if you’re branching out other than Black Tea
Imah Aziz I'm so glad you love it! And YES, I LOOOOVVVEEEEE rooibos tea. So much so I just ran out 😹
Wonderful video, and you're wonderful no matter what anyone tells you 💙
Aw, love! I appreciate you ☕💖
Hahaha! You're so funny! It is crazy how much you know about tea! I drink detox teas, you should do one about detox tea. I call it poop tea! lmao
Hahahaha! That is a very accurate description of what it does 😹💖☕
Difference between the different breakfast teas? - Irish, English, Scottish....Mexican? Jk on the last one but yes, difference?
Yes! All different. England was sourcing their tea and had access to different resources (dairy, sugar) at different points in time. So they're all different 💖☕
Miss Mary Lu which one’s best?
@@GuitarType01 depends on your taste. i recommend getting some samples. i'm personally partial to irish breakfast :)
Stupid question... is there alot of caffeine in one tea bag?
not stupid at all! there can be, depending on the tea. but still only 25% of the amount of a cup of coffee, at the highest
Love this video!!
Aw, thank you Angela!
Suggestion:
What is chemomile??
Ooo, that's a great idea!!
Yay! I love what is, especially the good stuff 😁 now i dont have to feel guilty! What is Tea suggestion: Apricot Brandy....so DELICIOUS heaven in a cup! 💝
Tea With Cherie Yay, I'm so glad you love it! And OOOOO I've never heard of that tea before!

hey, whatever gets you by! no judgement here

Little too much caffeine in the tea Mary ??

Yet Brittan drinks more tea than any other country and has a much smaller population than that of the US or China...
P.S. Mary Lu you are very lovely and a cutey pie !( Kiss Kiss ) Oh don't worry I am an old fart and not trying anything !
