What's the difference between English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast tea? I've been drinking the latter a lot lately, but I've never tried the former.
I'm halfway tempted to say it's a marketing thing, but I'll defer to wiser souls on this one.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Irish Breakfast tastes... well, I'm the opposite of a supertaster, so all I can say is that to me it tastes burlier. Which is exactly no help at all.
Our computer guy has bits and pieces of a dozen or so Macs floating around his office, so I'm pretty sure I could gank a workable keyboard and mouse from him and still reserve the $20 for caffeine, caffeine, and nothing but caffeine.

I love my G4 laptop, which I am typing on now. Love love love.
Still working on the Freelance Project That Would. Not. Die. I don't think it'll ever be finished; I think I'm doomed to keep working on it unto eternity, a modern-day version of Sisyphus.

Hee. Now I'm imagining a tea leaf with big arm muscles and a brogue.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hmm. My box of English Breakfast tea says "A blend of Ceylon, Kenyan and Indian teas, producing a full-bodied brew." The Irish Breakfast says, "A rich, traditional blend producing a robust, satisfying brew." Which doesn't really explain anything. They do taste different, though.

Irish breakfast is mostly (sometimes all) Assam tea.
English breakfast is a Keemun tea blend.

If I only had a brain...
What Daniel Said. I used to love drinking Assam before my taste buds got grouchy about tannin; nowadays it's Keemun Ji Hong, baby!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
When I was on a choir tour in England I got some the Ahmad brand English Breakfast tea & English Afternoon tea. Those were very yummy.
