Black Tea

So punchy you’ll sit bolt upright.

In Ireland it’s the law to drink this bold, black leaf soup, and don’t let anyone tell you different. Have it strong with lemon or with more milk than brew, just like your Oirish mam.

22 plant-based biodegradable bags. Ethically sourced. Go Tea-m!

A lovely Tea

I drink this every evening. I love this tea and the midnight brew coffee from Top of The Morning. Would recommend to any tea lover.

Used To Be Smooth, Now Disappointingly Bitter

I hate to even write a poor review for this tea. When the company first started, it was the smoothest Irish Breakfast tea I'd ever had. I was FLOORED. It was rich, and my god it was SMOOTH. But somewhere along the way, something in the mix changed. The response, when I inquired, was that the brew mix had gone from using organic tea leaves to inorganic. If that's true, that's all it took to take this smooth, creamy, delicious tea and turn it into a bitter generic that even sugar and cream doesn't help. The original Irish Breakfast I could steep for AGES and it was as though it refused to exude even the merest bitter note out of courtesy. I am so disappointed to lose that flavor, it was phenomenal. I love Sean and I want to support his company, but this was the only tea I drank from TOTM. I considered that maybe it was just a bad batch, but I'm pretty sure this is its new normal. And its bitterness is matched only by my own. This current bag I have I keep using as though I'm hoping that I'm somehow mistaken. And I'm disappointed every time. When it's used up, I won't be getting more. I'll probably never taste something that delicious again unless they revert the formula back to its original composition. At least the cocoa's still good.

I absolutely adore this tea. It is the best Irish breakfast tea I have ever had, and extremely happy to the point where I hug it upon opening. Thank you for making this tea.

TEA FAQS

  • Top of the Mornin'a Teas were sourced looking for quality, ethical farm conditions, and environmental consciousness while ensuring a fair price. Here’s some info about our tea production and partners:

    1. Our teas are handpicked from continuous crops meaning no heavy equipment and decades old plants are producing our tea. This ensures CO2 isn’t being spent harvesting or constantly replanting crops.

    2. Our tea is processed in a solar powered facility that produces more power than it consumes.

    3.Our tea supports an environment action plan that preserves and grows several natural habitats and makes it completely carbon neutral. (And carbon negative when accounting for the solar above)

    4. Ethical Tea Partnership is an independently audited group that ensures social and environmental standards are met and maintained on Tea farms. Everything from fair compensation to health coverage, housing and childcare is closely scrutinized. Our tea partner is an ETP member.
  • Irish Breakfast is Kosher and Vegan. This tea passes a number of industry quality tests including quality testing, food safety testing, anti-terrorism certifications.
  • Tea Pyramid Bags are made from plant-based materials which are both backyard compostable and biodegradable.

    We sell our Teas individually packed into pyramids that are ready to brew. Pyramids allow the tea to fully expand as it absorbs water which allows it to release its amazing flavors the same way brewing completely loose leaf tea in a diffuser would without the extra mess. Our tea pyramids are plant based, not paper based, meaning there is no nasty paper dust mixing into the tea. Also, the pyramid, string, and tag are plant based and break down naturally in normal conditions so after brewing they can be composted at home if desired.
  • Our plant-based compostable pyramid tea bags are not made with any plastic. They are made of a material called PLA, which stands for Polylactic Acid and is produced from the starches of corn, sugar cane, and cassava. They are are both commercially compostable and biodegradable. The tea bags by weight are 90% home compostable. This also includes the string and the tag. The outer silver pouch that contains the tea is also made from natural plant starch. They break down readily in a composting system.
