I'm not a big fan of tea bags, but it makes sense that an Irish company would make a good Irish Breakfast tea.
I did not even know of this company before reading this review! Thanks for posting; I've now listed all teas from Bewley's Coffee and tea on RateTea.net.
Whenever I am at a meeting and there is tea I try to go for the brand I have not yet tried and this one was a pleasant surprise!
This was the first and so far last time I have seen this brand. I believe I was in Maryland.
