About This Tea

Thompson's Tea has been blending and packing tea in Belfast since 1896 and is now a fourth generation family business. Their Original Blend - better known as Punjana - is Northern Ireland's favourite tea and has been awarded a very rare 3 Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards. Recognised by the prestigious Guild of Fine Foods for 12 consecutive years. Only the finest Assam and Kenyan teas are selected - Assam from the finest gardens for a beautifully rounded, malty character, and Kenyan teas from the foothills of Mount Kenya picked when sunshine and rainfall are in perfect harmony.

Deep, full-bodied, and exceptionally well-balanced. The malt from the Assam and the brightness from the Kenya work in harmony to produce a cup with real depth of flavour that holds up to milk without ever feeling one-dimensional. The everyday tea that serious tea drinkers choose when they want more from their cup.

If you enjoy Thompson's Original Blend, our Scotch and Abram's Irish Breakfast is our take on that same bold, full-bodied Northern Irish character - built to the same standard of quality.

How to brew the perfect cup
  1. Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool.
  2. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength.
  3. Add milk. It holds up beautifully.
  4. A longer steep brings out the full depth of the Assam character.
How does it compare?

Thompson's Irish Breakfast is the bolder step up from the same brand if you want more strength and body. Nambarrie is the closest Northern Irish parallel - same Assam and Kenya foundation, similar robust everyday character. Barry's Gold Blend is the closest Irish Republic comparison in terms of balance and everyday drinking character.
