The McEntee's Tea Story

McEntee's Tea is a family-run Irish tea company dedicated to crafting award-winning loose leaf teas and biodegradable tea bags that celebrate Ireland's rich tea-drinking tradition.

We launched our Irish Breakfast Biodegradable Teabag last year — combining the full flavour of our signature blend with the convenience and sustainability today’s tea drinkers expect.

Our passion is driven by two other beliefs, firstly loose tea is better. It tastes batter and is better for the environment and secondly it’s better for you. We focus on tea blends which are unmistakably Irish, rich in tradition and flavour, consistent with our commitment to bring us back to a better tasting, quality cup of tea.

To support the transition to loose tea, we offer a range of teaware, making brewing effortless and enjoyable. As a family-run business, we are dedicated to quality, sustainability, and preserving tradition. Whether you seek a refreshing Irish Breakfast Tea or a robust malty Gold Blend, McEntee’s Tea brings you the finest tea experience with every sip. Our customer reviews speak for themselves!

We believe significant opportunities lie in meeting the expectations of today’s discerning tea drinker, cafe and restaurant consumers by enhancing their tea experience with McEntee's loose tea. Additionally, we aim to deliver great value and convenience through our filter teaware range.

Our blends of Irish Tea have been carefully crafted by us both over a long period of tastings and blended in rural county Louth in Ireland. We're proud to be part of the Boyne Valley Flavours group championing local produce within the Boyne Valley region steeped in food history.

We sourced our Black Teas from all over the world tasting teas from the finest gardens in lndia, Kenya and Ceylon. Our desire was to find that balance in our blends that combined the malty deep taste of the finest Assam teas with the distinctive fragrant and lemony taste of Ceylon Teas for our Breakfast blend and with the brisk, full-bodied Kenyan teas for our Gold blend. Having tasted hundreds of teas we found what we feel are the perfect blends.

To complete our products sustainably, we looked to create and source our packaging locally. We worked with local lrish designers and packaging companies to create the products in the format they're in today.

We won a Gold Award in the Blas na hEireann Irish Food Awards 2020 for our Irish Afternoon Blend and a Gold Star Great Taste Award for our Mint and Nettle Infusion. This follows our success in 2019 when their teas won Gold (Mint & Nettle), Silver (Gold Blend) & Bronze (Irish Breakfast) at the Blas Irish Food Awards.
