Long-time Favorite
Golden Moon's Irish Breakfast Tea has been my daily morning wake-me-up for years now. It is delightful with milk and sugar, but it is also smooth and delicious black, which is my preferred way to enjoy it. I highly recommend it.

A wonderfully balanced tea
Really enjoying this Irish Breakfast, nicely malty with a hint of smokiness - well balanced flavors!

My favorite teas
I love Irish Breakfast tea, French Breakfast tea, and English Breakfast tea. I switch among them and love them all. No floral bergamot in any of them, which, to me, is a plus.

Fantastic tea!
This is the best Irish Breakfast I've ever had!! It's smooth and full of flavor without any bitterness!

Perfect tea to start the day!
I love the taste of this tea. It is a delightful way to start the day. Makes great iced tea!

Love my Golden Moon zoom Teatime
Fresh, relaxing can’t wait to get up and brew a pot of my Irish breakfast tea.
Robin said:
Four spoons out of five
Among the great Irish Breakfast blends I've had. Buy more than you think you need. You won't regret it.
Why the four stars? One thing would make this tea better. Irish Breakfast should be broken or cut, IMHO. The small, broken leaves of a typical Irish Breakfast create a stronger steep. This tea is whole leaf, not the cut or broken style typical of most Irish Breakfast teas.

Delicious, full-bodied tea
The Irish Breakfast tea is quite tasty; full-bodied but not astringent. I'm assuming it's an Assam or something close to it. Perfect for the first cup of the day.
Paul Frein said:
Good stuff!
One of the best Irish Breakfast blends I have found after sampling well over 50 from other providers. Stands up well to honey and milk/cream, though it drinks well as is for those who prefer no additives.
Tommy said:
Perfect for day time too
I have English, French and Irish all breakfast tea with me and love all of them. Fresh feel from English, sweet mellow from French and depth from Irish. Irish in the afternoon actually is my favorite.

Irish Breakfast
This was my first order and I really enjoyed it. The tea was very smooth and flavorful. Can't wait to try more.
Rewa said:
Best at 200 degrees, 3min
For me, if i use 212 at 4min, the tea was a bit bitter. So, i used 200, 3min & it was perfect! And mixed w/ a tsp of pu-ehr, even smoother! Has a nice mapley taste.
Margaret said:
Smooth
The organic Irish breakfast tea is smooth but hearty. I am very pleased with it.

Wonderful Moring Tea
I've been a Golden Moon Tea customer since the early 2000s. Wonderful teas and Irish Breakfast makes for a great morning cup to start the day with.

Excellent tea
Full rich flavor. One of my favorite black teas!

Irish Breakfast Tea
I have long been a lover of black tea. I like a bold strong tea such as Irish Breakfast and I have tasted many over the years. The first thing you will notice when you open the package is the fresh tea aroma. Then after brewing you will taste black tea as it is meant to be. I have been impressed with other teas I have ordered as well. Hands down this is the best tasting black tea. I like to drink it with a little milk and sugar (reminds me of my childhood!) and this tea never disappoints. Great customer service as well.

Irish Tea
I ordered Irish Tea as its a full bodied Tea it could be a substitute instead of coffee. I use half&half & honey Wonderful!
William Moore said:
Noticeably pure
The Irish Breakfast Tea, along with all the other Golden Moon teas I've tried are very noticeably "clean" tasting. If compared with teas from the big English companies, the pure flavor is quite obvious. Golden Moon Tea will be my only choice from now on.
Joleen said:
Great Breakfast Tea
Enjoy this tea in the morning with honey and half and half. So good!
Reed Austin said:
My go to in the morning!
Love this tea! …as a former heavy coffee drinker finding a GOOD strong breakfast tea (without being bitter) can be a challenge. This tea is delicious! With or without cream & sugar. You won’t be disappointed!
Adrit said:
My favorite morning brew
Love this full bodied dark malty brew. I have it with milk every morning. It’s my go to, and the nicest breakfast brew around!
Tammy Lewis said:
Another great tea!
This tea, for me, is a great tea. I ordered two black teas. I had wanted to try this one. I will be ordering this tea, again.
Russell Markus said:
Best Breakfast tea
I have both the English Breakfast Tea and the Irish Breakfast Tea. Both are fantastic, but the Irish Breakfast Tea is smoother, there isn't the bitter bite of the English Tea.
Dawn Bertrand said:
Great Way to Start the day!
I am really enjoying my Irish Breakfast tea. Here's a suggestion: a little splash of coconut milk and maple syrup and it tastes just like Early Grey! Will be ordering more.
Nora Narum said:
Ordered some more!
I tried some at Christmas and recently re-ordered. I like this one, as well as the English Breakfast and French Breakfast.
James Bridges said:
Best tea ever!
I love this tea. I enjoy a large mug every morning and often later in the day. It’s definitely worth every penny. Strong, full bodied flavor, but never bitter.
NLW said:
Delish!
I have tried several of your Breakfast teas and this one gets top billing in my kitchen, so far. There are a few other of your Breakfast teas I am going to try. I love doing my own little taste tests.
jamie walker said:
Great tasting!
Smooth tea. Great flavor. Awesome black tea.
Ilene said:
My Favorite of the "Breakfast" Teas
This one starts my mornings out right! Strong enough to hold up to a bit of sugar and cream. I easily go through a pot myself.
And I am particularly pleased to support an organic, ethical company and tea farmers

Very enjoyable well flavored strong tea. I have been thoroughly enjoying it as my first cup of the day.

Irish Breakfast Tea - a Comfortable Companion
Marcus - Over 10 years ago, I became acquainted with your tea via your Kashmiri Chai - The exotic aromas of cardamom, cinnamon, and clove among others I can't place - promising full flavors on my tongue, has become a special holiday beverage at our house.
Your Honey Pear tea is very light and nice - something to share with my wife.
Fortunately, she is not a fan of the Pu-erh - can't get over the smell as it brews, so when she declines to have tea in the afternoon, I fix a pot of Pu-erh all for myself. It is most soothing and is my reward for the day's work.
But I have settled on Irish Breakfast as the go to tea in the morning.
I am sure you will wince at my routine; Into my 7 cup tea pot, I put 2 heaping tablespoons of Irish Breakfast tea and One heaping (depending on viscosity) spoonful of Honey. ( I should mention that I am a Beekeeper.) I pour boiling water over this (no, I don't preheat my pot - should but don't) I stir the tea to mix the Honey and wait for the tea leaves to sink to the bottom of the pot - a short 5 minutes or so. That's is when It is ready for me to drink. I stir it once more because the heavier Honey mix tends to sink to the bottom, and pour out into my 2 cup mug that has about a Third of a cup of evaporated milk in the bottom. As I go thru the beginning of my work day this pot of tea is my trusted companion.
Altho I drink copious cups of coffee during the day in business meetings (it's just easier to say yes to coffee than try to get a good cup of tea out and about.) I look forward to my Irish Breakfast daily. Please keep producing this quality product - I now have to buy it by the pound bag because friends have no shame in taking home a sandwich bag full for themselves.

Strong and delicious as iced tea
I buy this to make my husband iced tea and he loves it! I had been using the English breakfast tea for a while and after recently trying the Irish, he prefers it.

Great tea.
Very good tea. I drink it cold over ice. I will reorder.
Thanks.
Jonie Spetter said:
Smooth and Different
Irish Breakfast is great. I like it plain and strong. But it’s a good treat to add milk and sugar too. It’s a change of pace from English Breakfast tea. I’ll definitely order again.
Mary Vivona said:
Excellent Tea
I've been searching for an organic, basic black tea for daily use and this is it. One taste and the quality is apparent. It is a little more expensive than some other brands that I've tried but I find that I use a little less of this per cup. I just put this tea on automatic reorder so I don't run out!
Kerry Bowell said:
Irish Breakfast Tea
Irish Breakfast Tea is delicious! I love many of the Golden Moon teas, but have to say Irish Breakfast is my favorite way to start my day!
James Barkley said:
Irish Breakfast
I alternate between your English and Irish breakfast teas for my morning tea. If I could only have one it would be the Irish. I am enjoying a beautiful quiet morning and a pot of it right now!
David Singer said:
Irish Breakfast
I have been drinking Irish BT for many years and have always liked Yorkshire gold and twinings. When I first tried GM I wasn't sure I liked it as well. Overtime I found it is smoother, less bite and I like it better. Also can beat that it doesn't have any junk in it.
Martha Jameson said:
Wonderful tea
Love this tea! It’s so smooth with a rich full bodied flavor. It’s not just for breakfast for me.
Leon Flint said:
My favorite morning starter
I love Golden Moon's Irish Breakfast Tea and it's been my morning beverage of choice for years. Every year for my birthday I buy myself a new supply with which I refill my original "Special Reserve" tin. It's mellow but flavorful, and I often drink it black. It is also delicious with milk and/or sugar.
Shannon Hennigan said:
Great taste!
This tea has great flavor and authentic taste! I drank Irish breakfast tea every day in Ireland and this one is just as good as the authentic tea in Ireland! The added bonus is that this one is organic! I wasn't able to find any organic brands in Ireland. Kudos!
Daily drinker said:
Black tea go to
Great taste at a great price. It's my go to when I want to drink a black tea especially in the afternoon.
Mary Biagioli said:
A robust and satisfying tea.
Irish Breakfast is the perfect tea when you want a good jolt of caffeine with a robust and satisfying flavor. The quality of Golden Moon assures repeat enjoyment. Loose leaf tea is the best way to enjoy your tea: no flavors of paper or string to interfere.
John Fanning said:
So good
BIG FAn of this company and have enjoyed all of their teas that I have tried. Big leaf, little shake and for this Irish blend lots of Assam to give it a great morning beverage structure. Yes. In the Irish Style, this is bestbenjoyed with milk
Mick Tucci said:
IRISH, ENGLISH & FRENCH BREAKFAST TEAS
I've been drinking these teas for quite a number of years on & off. I confess being sentimental for the former quaint colored labels for each tea variety. I still have the old labels for all three of these teas attached to my tea tins. The old labels said the French was wiry high mountain Ceylon, The English, a blend of Ceylon, Keemum & Assam with a touch of Darjeeling, & the Irish was called "Special Reserve" but did not indicate the type(s) of black tea, only a wonderful description of the tea leaves, bouquet & flavor. I have no idea if these three wonderful breakfast teas have retained their original blends, but I still enjoy each very much. I particularly like the French Breakfast. I like the Irish Breakfast because I find it less strong & heavy as other Irish Breakfast blends I've had. I prefer the lighter & most refined Assam teas. When it comes to tea blends, I really like to know what the blend is, and when possible the ratio of the teas in the blend.
Josh Larke said:
My favorite Golden Moon breakfast tea!
I’m an avid drinker of black tea and Golden Moon has quickly become my favorite tea source. Of the black teas Golden Moon offers, I had tried all but the three breakfast teas. I ordered a tin of all three and can say they are all very good but the Irish Breakfast is definitely my favorite. (I’m actually on my second cup today as I write this.) It’s bold but not overly strong with a nice mellow finish. And this comes from someone that always drinks black tea straight.
Highly recommended!
Carol Brown said:
Variety
I enjoy rotating my morning tea between Irish, English and French for a fresh taste each day.
E.J. Peiker said:
A classic, organic style
Irish Breakfast Tease are all very similar, a nice bold robust black tea, especially when brewed for 5 minutes and then served with real cream. What sets this one apart is that it is organic without the pesticides and herbicides that are present in most competitor Irish breakfast Tea.
Carolyn Dunlav said:
Nice,bright Irish Breakfast Tea
Really like this version of Irish Breakfast Tea. It,s not too mild, and not too strong--it's bright! Will order again.
Yvonne Baker said:
Best Tea Ever!
I love the Irish Breakfast Tea!. Starts my day off just right.
Rebecca Adams said:
The best!
This is the best black tea EVER! I like English breakfast tea, and I like French breakfast tea. But I LOVE Irish Breakfast tea and this is some of the best I've ever had. It has a rich flavor that is good all by itself for the hardliners, but can stand up to cream & honey & it's ambrosia...
Audrey N. said:
Dark tea with deep flavor
I switch between Irish Breakfast, English Breakfast, and Pu ehr tea for breakfast. This Irish Breakfast is dark and less flowery than English, but not as intense as Pu ehr. It's a favorite of mine and Golden Moon tea is always fresh. I buy a pound of it and it's good until the end.
Sarah Harrelson said:
Great
I was impressed with this. I personally poured it over ice with a little sugar and it tasted alot like your everyday sweet tea! I'm still trying all the ones I've ordered and still experimenting since I'm new to teas. So far I'm very happy with the quality from Golden Moon! Good quality tea and a good kettle make a world of difference! Can't wait to try more :)
annette sullivan said:
excellent experience
A stronger, more bitter black tea than I usually prefer but very good with cream and sugar on a cold northern morning.

Irish Breakfast Tea
There is not one tea from Golden Moon that I do not enjoy. I enjoy Irish Breakfast Tea especially on our cool wet Pacific Northwest mornings.

A definite favorite of the family!
A smooth full bodied black tea! Great flavor and aroma. We really enjoy this one over others we have tried from other companies.

It's good but I have a favorite
I like all my black teas but my favorite is the French breakfast . I would recommend all the breakfast teas ,
, it's a matter of personal taste . I like a little honey and milk in mine and I love the glass brewer . Just the right size to fill 12 oz mug
Patricia Veirs said:
Irish Breakfast a Favorite!
Irish Breakfast is truly one of my favorites. Love this one.
Don Mutchler said:
Very nice tea
Somewhat complex black tea, and a welcome choice in my array of teas. I enjoy strong, malty tea or a good chai, and while the Irish breakfast is not malty per se, it is full-bodied and quite good. As others have said, it works well with milk and sugar, or honey in my case. And the fact that Golden Moon seems to be a stable source for teas, and that I routinely enjoy their chai blend (daily) as well as some of the green tea offerings, and their Earl Gray, well, that says a lot to me, obviously. Or maybe that just says a lot about me. Regardless, this Irish Breakfast blend is quite a tasty black tea, and is available for a great price.
So, where's my free half pound? (kidding.) But I'm buying some anyway; I'm out!
Doccyn said:
A Toothy Tea/ FULL Bodied
My go to tea when I want dessert. This tea fits that bill nicely. A great tea that pairs well with milk and sugar. I should have ordered a pound, it is JUST that wonderful!

A great cup of tea.
We drink a lot of tea at our house and we love all the different teas we get from Golden Moon (darjeeling, english breakfast, french breakfast, sinharaja..., but if we could only have one it would be Irish Breakfast. It's just that good.
