Irish Malt Tea
With Autumn just around the corner, we're getting excited about cosy nights and the arrival of rusty coloured leaves. Our palates are also changing, and we're starting to crave rich and indulgent flavours. With tastes adapting with the seasons, our choice of teas also diverting towards more robust, aromatic and bolder flavours. One of our all-time favourite teas, popular at Cup of Tea H.Q. and with our customers is Irish Malt. This widely popular Irish Breakfast loose-leaf tea has been specially selected for its robust, spicy Assam flavours.
Flavoured with hints if Irish whiskey and real cocoa nibs, this tea is extravagantly malty and utterly tea-licious.
Our customers say, "Recently tried this tea at Ashford Castle in Ireland, and I'm OBSESSED! Just bought a bunch so that I can enjoy it back home in L.A."

Assam teas are our favourites for all-day drinking. Perfect any time of year, but especially good towards the end of summer, and at the beginning of Autumn. Perhaps it's the fewer tannins and fuller flavour that makes Assam the ideal tea come September. Or maybe the silky smooth with distinctive malty undertones, that make it so apt for the season, but whatever it is, we're drinking it by the gallon. Assam also lends itself well to the addition of spices and rich natural flavourings like vanilla. Great drunk black, but for those partial to a dash of milk or sugar, Assam is the ideal choice.
If you love robust, indulgent and Autumnal teas like Irish Malt, we have a selection of other teas that are also worth exploring.

Irish Tea Cocktail
Whisky and tea are both warming, flavourful and work incredibly well together. The Irish Tea cocktail is a famous one, and there are numerous versions of it, but the original was said to have been invented by Ian McCarthy in a bar in San Fransisco. Likely to have been a warming pick-me-up after a blustery day out, the additional benefits of local honey and fresh lemon make this warming tea cocktail our firm favourite.
Ingredients
(per person)
• 45ml on Irish whisky
• 1 tbsp honey
• Freshly boiled water
• 1 tsp Irish Breakfast tea
• Slices of fresh lemon
Method
- Boil the water in the usual way
- If preparing from more than one, add one teaspoon of tea per person
- Steep the tea for a little longer than usual (5 minutes should do it)
- Strain the tea into a chosen teacup or mug
- Add honey & lemon and stir until the honey has dissolved
- Add the whisky and gently stir
- Have a little taste and add extra honey if you desire
- Garnish with another lemon slice
- Enjoy!
