Belfast Brew Tea - Suki Tea
Did you know that most teabags contain plastic? And that over 100 million teabags are thrown away every single day in the UK?! Not to mention that when we pour boiling water onto the bags they release microplastics into our cuppa which we then drink?! If that hasn't convinced you its time to ditch the teabags I don't know what will!
We are so proud to be stockists of Suki Tea - they produce excellent quality whole leaf teas, both loose and in plastic free teabags. Not only that but they are ethically sourced, buying Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance or Organic wherever possible.
This Irish Breakfast Tea, a good strong black tea is a Suki Tea signature blend - an everyday cuppa! A malty sweetness comes through from the rich Assam content of this blend, which is perfectly harmonised with a brisk, punchy, quality East African whole leaf.
If you have a cup of Suki in any café throughout the island of Ireland, 9 times out of 10 it would be this one! Belfast Brew as a double award winner, scooping Great Taste Awards and the ‘Irish Food Oscars’ Blas na hEireann.
