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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.
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!

Or maybe "TMI about tea"

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.

Askye, sorry about the evil computer and help desk. I've been trying to make mine talk to another computer, but it's apparently shy.
