Description
Irish Cream
Irish Cream Liqueur has a fascinating history that dates back to the 6th century when Irish monks ventured to the Middle East. There, they discovered the art of distilling, initially focusing on perfume. However, being Irish, they quickly recognized that the same process could be used to create whiskey, known as “Uisce Beatha,” or “Water of Life” in Gaelic.
These monks, celebrated for their dairy skills, began blending their whiskey with fresh cream, leading to the creation of the delightful concoction we now cherish. Today, Irish Cream is not only a delicious drink on its own but also a fantastic addition to various recipes. In this spirit, we present our Irish Cream Tea blend—perfect for breakfast or any time of day. Top o’ the morning to you!
Flavour Profile
This tea captures the sweet creaminess of Irish Cream beautifully. A splash of milk enhances the flavour, making it an ideal choice for your morning routine or a cosy afternoon treat. Each sip offers a comforting taste reminiscent of the classic liqueur.
Luxury Ingredients
Our luxurious blend includes black tea, blackberry leaves, calendula, sunflower, cornflower petals, and natural flavours. These ingredients come together to create a rich, flavourful tea that pays homage to its creamy inspiration.
Sourcing Quality Teas
We source our teas from Sri Lanka’s top three growing regions: Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula, and Uva. Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya reach peak quality in January and February, while Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya peak in July and August. This dual peak period allows us to select the finest ingredients for our flavoured teas multiple times a year.
Quality Assurance
These high-grown districts produce Ceylon teas known for their classic character, which features a floral bouquet, rich flavour notes, a hint of astringency, and a bright coppery colour. We use flavouring oils instead of artificial crystals, ensuring that each cup delivers exceptional quality and taste.
Indulge in our Irish Cream Tea and enjoy a delightful blend that celebrates both tradition and flavour!

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
