New! Ah, Ireland! Where the bracing cups of rich, black tea with milk or cream fortify the spirit for long walks and epic views! Holiday in Ireland is a classic, bold and beautiful Irish Breakfast tea blend, featuring Assam, Kenya, and Ceylon black teas. Comforting and cozy, perfect for a morning or afternoon cuppa! Jane Austen had a certain fondness for the Irish, three of her nieces having settled in Donegal, and her flirtation with a young Irishman named Thomas Lefroy, the nephew of a dear friend of hers. She also traveled to Ireland and loved the beauty of the country, and we hear references here and there in her novels:
In Persuasion, Lady Dalrymple is heard commenting on the appearance of Captain Wentworth. “A very fine young man indeed!" said Lady Dalrymple. "More air than one often sees in Bath. Irish, I dare say.”
In Emma, we hear about Jane Fairfax not going to Ireland when her foster family, the Campbells, go over on holiday to see their newly married daughter, Mrs. Dixon, in her new home. According to the letters received by Miss Bates, “Jane was quite longing to go to Ireland” because of the great beauty of the country and all she had heard about the Dixon’s country estate. Emma becomes suspicious of this “not going to Ireland” and begins to wonder about Mr. Dixon’s friendship with Jane! A suspicion helped along by Mr. Frank Churchill….
Ingredients: Breakfast tea blend of Assam, Kenya, and Ceylon black teas. Contains caffeine. Packaged in the USA.
