No Welch tea?

English breakfast, Irish breakfast, and Scottish breakfast teas are
easy to get, but apparently there is no Welsh tea for St. David's Day
today. I'll need to be satisfied with my usual Assam, I guess.

Welsh, if you please.

It's kind of a natives-only tradition, but you can add a few delicate
shavings from the dried sprouting tips of a baby leek.

I didn't have any leeks, but I opened the dried chives I've been
saving and put a pinch in. Can you believe the result was actually
potable? I think I may be getting tired of my winter teas. Toci

Glengettie may not sound a very Welsh name but as a company they have
been producing a "strong Welsh Tea suitable for any time of the day"
blended in .
Wales since 1952 (Wedi'i Flendio Ar Gyfer Cymru Ers 1952). Their
claim, and I have not verified this, is that the tea blend is
specially designed to complement the region's soft water. The
Glengettie company first developed its Welsh roots when it transferred
production there following the removal of the Second World War tea
controls, and with its bi-lingual pack is claimed to be the most
popular tea in Wales.. However, do not get excited about brave little
Dafydd fending off the Goliaths for the Glengettie brand is actually
part of the UK Typhoo brand portfolio now owned by Indian parent
company the Apeejay Surrendra Group, the third largest exporters of
tea from India.
