Irish Breakfast
Black Tea
This breakfast blend consists mostly of rich Assam tea and has a full and very powerful flavor. Highly recommended for the lover of a tea with a spicy and malty (a term derived from the beer brewers) character. Although it is sometimes claimed otherwise, the blackening of the tea leaves is not a fermentation process but an oxidation process. The name Irish was chosen because the Irish have a special preference for very strong blends. This is mainly found in Irish whiskies. To smoothen the strong taste, the Irish often add milk to the tea.
Green Gunpowder
Green Tea
The green tea China Gunpowder (also known as Zucha or Pearl Tea) has an aroma that is somewhat softer than 'normal' green tea. The tea leaves are slowly dried in rotating drums. This creates a nice ball. The tea leaves used for these tightly twisted balls are of very high quality. In the warm water the small balls open up to form a wonderfully soft tea.
Kir Royal
Mélange
A blend of green and white tea, Verbene leaf, Lemongrass, Lemon Myrte, black and red berries, rose blossom and sunflower blossom. The Lemongrass and Cassis give this tea a fresh yet fruity flavor with a slight Champagne character. A mellow tea that doesn't easily become aftertaste. Green flavored tea comes into its own when poured with water at 60-80° and allowed to steep for up to 2 minutes. Then the aroma and base tea are in balance. If the tea is steeped longer, the taste will become slightly bitter due to the diffusion of the tannins of the green tea leaf.
