I notice that when folks in the US talk about Irish Breakfast tea you’re actually talking about something that is quite different to the Irish Breakfast tea drunk in Ireland (where we simply call it “tea”). Sure, we start with the big Assam base for malty strength. But some of the most popular teas drunk here blend the Assam with Kenya and/or Rwanda, and that is what makes the quintessential Irish tea flavour to my mind.

Thank you for being so practical in your information. Any mild, sugarless tea is perfect to have as part of a relaxing bedtime routine. It's warm, aromatic, and hydrating. But that's about it. There are also antioxidants, no? I add frozen berries to mine sometimes, so there are some health benefits there. I love it. Tea makes me feel transported back to a simpler time...like a scene from Pride and Prejudice or something lol.

The reason why aged Pu'er tea is better to drink is mainly reflected in the mellow taste, unique aroma, bright red color and better health effects.

I promise you Scottish people weren't growing the tea, they were overseeing the plantations. Sinhalese and Tamil people were growing the tea. Not a dig at you, I just think it's worth acknowledging.

there is a reason irish breakfast is called irish breakfast. it's the blend familiar to the bazzilions of irish emigrants into the US during the 1800s. so why was that blend distinctly irish? because tea from india, ceylon (as was) or kenya came from within the british empire and could be grown in huge quantity solely for a european (and north american) market. those places were also a lot closer to europe than china... and yep there was that closed borders thing with china also. the outcome was that importers could get cheap tea in bulk at around the same time a major temperance movement was underway, and access to a cheap version of that fancy-pants drink the posh people up in the big house drank was just what was needed. followed shortly after by a lot of people starving and emigrating, thus a taste for tea with a punch arrived in murikay to serve a rapidly growing and often poor market. one tea to rule them all.

I love tea, I drink it all day from my çaydanlık (Turkish teapot or samovár) and always unsweetened. As you bring up antioxidants, I have a question. As you know, black teas are green tea that has been allowed to ferment. This "fermentation" is actually oxidation rather than true fermentation. I have to wonder how potent the antioxidants in tea actually are if they don't prevent the tea itself from oxidizing?
