As I was walking through my favorite specialty boutique, the red Limited Edition label on Kusmi Tea's Irish Blend caught my eye.  I am a big fan of Kusmi products and know I was in for another tasty treat.  When I opened the box containing twenty muslin tea bags, my olfactory organ was met by a pleasing, light aroma.  I enjoy tea leaves for steeping, but the convienience of the muslin bags make traveling with my favorite tea, much easier. The Irish blend is a delightful combination of Assam and Darjeeling teas, which compliment each other perfectly.  Kusmi Teas have been popular for over one hundred and forty years worldwdie.  The Irish Blend is both pleasant tasting and very smooth and will be a hit at any party, pinkies out!

I have to say that I am not typically a big tea drinker. However, I realize there are significant benefits of drinking tea. And with the weather being what it is this year in the North East, I have gotten more into teas. Therefore, when Whom You Know readers voted Kusmi the best, I was really excited to try it. And what better timing, as I have a croaky throat. The Irish Blend made up of Assam and Darjeeling black was undeniably delicious. I added a little honey to my tea to really coat my throat and it complimented this Irish Blend perfectly.

Kusmi Irish Blend Tea brings you back to Ireland. I love it! It warms my senses right at the first smell of it. It's delicious plain without any sweeteners. It also tastes great with sugar, milk and maybe some lemon. However you take your tea this is a great way to start your mornings. Get out there and add Kusmi Irish Blend Tea to your everyday life!
