Connemara Afternoon Tea – A Taste of Ireland’s Farmhouse Hearth
Chosen specially for our April 2025 MyIrelandBox, themed An Afternoon at the Irish Farmhouse, this tin of Connemara Afternoon Tea brings the perfect finishing touch to a cozy, traditional Irish afternoon. Just as no Irish farmhouse gathering would be complete without a steaming pot of strong, comforting tea shared around the kitchen table, this blend invites you to pause, pour a cup, and savour the moment—just like they have for generations across rural Ireland.
Crafted by the Connemara Kitchen in beautiful County Galway, this premium loose-leaf tea comes presented in a charming vintage-style tin, a keepsake in itself. Echoing the well-loved tins you might find tucked away in a real farmhouse pantry, the design evokes nostalgia for a slower, simpler time when stories were swapped over cups of tea by the warmth of the hearth.
We chose this tin for the April box because it truly captures the spirit of farmhouse life we celebrated—where a kettle always hummed gently on the range, ready to welcome visitors with strong tea and a plate of freshly baked scones or a slice of warm soda bread, generously slathered with butter and jam. The Connemara Afternoon Tea is rich, smooth, and designed to be enjoyed with good company—or savoured quietly as you watch the world drift by from a cozy kitchen window.
Inside, you’ll find 90g of premium loose-leaf tea, enough to brew many comforting cups. And once the tea is gone, the beautiful vintage tin remains—a lovely souvenir of your journey to Ireland’s countryside, and a keepsake to cherish for years to come.
