Mossy Earth Team
Why we launched Mossy Earth
Witnessing first-hand the effects of climate change and the destruction of the natural world on our travels, we were compelled to fight back. But, like so many people, we were overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem and did not know what we could do on an individual level to solve it.

So that is why we created the Mossy Earth membership. It is a pathway to action, empowering you to fight back and have a real impact by restoring key ecosystems and mitigating your carbon emissions.

A Irlanda é um país muito interessante para se estudar economicamente. A Ilha Esmeralda já passou por diversas transformações socioeconômicas ao decorrer do tempo, já que em meados do século XX era considerada "o país mais pobre do mundo rico" e no início dos anos 2000 se transformou no Tigre Celta (expressão que se refere ao período em que o país passou por um crescimento econômico real rápido, alimentado pelo investimento estrangeiro).

Durante a crise financeira de 2008, ergueu-se depois de um colapso econômico. Hoje, o país se tornou um polo de atração imigratório de muitos países do mundo, principalmente de brasileiros, latinos americanos e até mesmo europeus.

Mas por que a economia na Irlanda cresceu com os estrangeiros?

Os principais porquês desse fluxo imigratório para a Irlanda são bem conhecidos, tais como: aprender inglês, oportunidades de trabalho, país com boa localização na Europa, receptividade dos irlandeses, etc.

Contudo, ao se ter um olhar mais analítico sobre algumas características econômicas do país, é possível encontrar mais fatores que atraem pessoas do mundo todo e, além disso, ajuda a entender o desenvolvimento que o país vêm tendo em relação às questões econômicas e sociais - fundamentais para quem quer ser residente permanente na Irlanda.

Irlanda: 2º no ranking do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH)

Criado na década de 1990 pela Organização das Nações Unidas, o IDH é o principal indicador da qualidade de vida da população de um determinado local. Medido anualmente, o IDH vai de 0 a 1 - quanto maior, mais desenvolvido o país - e tem como base indicadores de saúde, educação e renda.

Em 2020, a Irlanda alcançou o IDH de 0,955, o segundo maior do mundo. A grande maioria dos países do continente Europeu apresentam IDHs elevados, fato esse que é consequência de planejamento e altos investimentos na área social durante décadas.

Educação auxiliou a economia da Irlanda

A educação é um do fator importante para a Irlanda ter alcançado altos patamares econômicos atuais. A partir da década de 1960, o governo irlandês passou a investir fortemente na educação fundamental e superior. Tudo começou quando o governo tornou gratuitas as escolas e universidades, que antes eram pagas.

A estratégia ganhou força, com investimentos constantes para melhorar a qualidade do ensino. E hoje, as principais universidades vêm se especializando em oferecer recursos importantes para empresas nos setores de tecnologia da informação, farmacêutica e saúde.

Além disso, fatores demográficos do país também o beneficiaram, dado que na época a Irlanda apresentava uma população mais jovem e em crescimento (comparada aos outros países da Europa).

A grande oferta de capital humano qualificado foi uma das vantagens competitivas do país na estratégia de desenvolvimento dos últimos anos. Consequentemente, com pessoas mais escolarizadas, os trabalhadores são mais qualificados, e assim, os salários são mais altos.

Economia na Irlanda: 3º no ranking do Índice de renda per capita

Em 2020, a Irlanda ficou em terceiro lugar no ranking mundial de renda per capita. A Ilha Esmeralda apresentou o valor de $ 81.376,39. A renda per capita é um indicador econômico que permite o conhecimento do grau de desenvolvimento de um país.

Ele é calculado através do valor PIB (Produto Interno Bruto) dividido pelo número de habitantes - como o próprio nome já diz, é o total de riqueza produzida dividido "per capita", ou seja, por cabeça. A renda per capita corresponde à renda média da população de um país em um determinado ano.

É comum observarmos que países desenvolvidos tenham nesse indicador, números bastante superiores em relação aos países menos desenvolvidos. No entanto, essa não é uma regra absoluta, pois podemos encontrar países com economias subdesenvolvidas e mesmo assim eles apresentam indicadores de renda altos.

De forma geral, como a Irlanda tem baixo nível concentração de renda (baixo Índice de GINI), a terceira colocação traduz a realidade já que o país apresenta alto grau de desenvolvimento, levando em conta o padrão e a qualidade de vida da população.

Porque o PIB irlandês é alto?

O fator principal da boa colocação neste ranking é que devido à altas taxas de crescimento do PIB irlandês, elas são relativamente altas comparadas com o número total de habitantes da ilha.

A principal razão para esse fato é que nos últimos anos, devido a baixas taxas de imposto sobre corporações, várias grandes empresas multinacionais voltaram suas atividades econômicas e propriedade intelectual para a Irlanda.

Como resultado, as vendas (produção) geradas a partir do uso da propriedade intelectual agora contribuem para o PIB irlandês e não para o PIB de outros países. Dado o tamanho dessas empresas que foram para a Irlanda (como Google, Apple, Facebook e LinkedIn), o aumento do crescimento do PIB também foi alto.

Estes fatores são particularmente atrativos para quem busca melhor qualidade de vida, com melhores salários e oportunidades de trabalhar nas maiores multinacionais do mundo.

Irlanda: 10ª no ranking do Índice de GINI

Atualmente o Índice de GINI (ou Coeficiente de GINI) é um dos principais indicadores de desigualdade social utilizado para comparar os países do mundo. Os valores deste coeficiente são representados entre 0 e 1, em que quanto mais próximo de zero menor é a desigualdade social - sendo igual a um, a desigualdade atinge o seu máximo.

A principal vantagem do índice de Gini é a sua capacidade de mensurar a distribuição de renda, não cedendo às limitações de outros dados, como a renda per capita e IDH.

O coeficiente da Irlanda apresentado em 2019 é de 0,318, sendo classificado em 10º lugar no ranking mundial.

Irlanda é a 6ª no ranking de Índice de Liberdade Econômica

O Índice de Liberdade Econômica mede a liberdade econômica de um país com base em 12 fatores quantitativos e qualitativos, agrupados em quatro categorias: Estado de Direito, Tamanho do Governo, Eficiência Regulatória, e Mercados Abertos.

Resumidamente, liberdade econômica é fundamental para ter uma sociedade livre, em que os indivíduos são livres para trabalhar, produzir, consumir e investir da maneira que quiserem. Nas sociedades economicamente livres, os governos permitem que o trabalho, o capital e os bens circulem livremente.

A liberdade econômica traz maior prosperidade para os países e este índice apresenta a relação positiva entre liberdade econômica e uma variedade de objetivos sociais e econômicos positivos.

Os ideais de liberdade econômica estão fortemente associados a sociedades mais saudáveis, ambientes mais limpos, maior riqueza per capita, desenvolvimento humano, democracia e eliminação da pobreza.

A pontuação de liberdade econômica da Irlanda é 80,9 (sendo 100 a pontuação máxima), tornando sua economia a 6ª mais livre no Índice de 2020. A economia irlandesa voltou a se destacar no ranking em 2018 e manteve essa classificação desde então.

Economia na Irlanda: uma potência em transformação

Como pode-se observar, cada um dos indicadores apontados apresenta certas limitações que, ao se focar unicamente em apenas um deles, este pode não retratar a realidade do país.

Contudo, olhando mais amplamente para os indicadores em conjunto, a Irlanda apresenta boas colocações nos principais índices socioeconômicos mundiais, mostrando que o país de fato tem bons resultados econômicos que são refletidos no bem estar social de quem vive no país.

A pequena (mas potente) economia da Ilha Esmeralda vem se transformando em uma economia moderna baseada no livre comércio, investimento estrangeiro e crescimento. Não é à toa que a Irlanda acabou se tornando a segunda casa de muitos que pensam em ir para o país apenas para o intercâmbio, e acabam ficando por muito mais tempo.

Like British Sign Language (BSL), Irish Sign Language (ISL) is a complete language which has developed over hundreds of years. It has its own set of signs, grammatical rules and cultural traditions, and is the first or preferred language of around 5,000 deaf people in Ireland. In 2017, the Irish Sign Language Act was passed, recognising ISL as a language.

In Northern Ireland, BSL and ISL are recognised equally under the 2016 Sign Language Framework.

Look, this is indeed a list of the 15 best Irish drinks you must try, but note that you don't necessarily need to have all these delicious drinks in Ireland in one night. Drink responsibly and sláinte, dear reader!
As I was writing this article, my husband realized it wasn't a good idea to leave it to me because from the very first paragraph until the conclusion, I was telling him some ideas that had just popped into my head.

Nothing crazy, of course, but something in the lines of taking beer tasting lessons, going for a walk so we could stop by the liquor store, and so on.

But hey, Irish drinks, the really traditional Irish drinks, are honestly the best drinks to order at a bar. Why?

Because the folks in the Emerald Isle have been producing the highest quality of alcoholic beverages for centuries. They know what they are doing. Period.

So to help you avoid overwhelm and the noise out there, we have selected 15 drinks for you to order on your next Ireland road trip.

Or you can do it like me, and you can sip/ prepare them at home. For now, we'll only talk about Irish drinks with alcohol.

Oh, and last but not least, I'll also tell you which drinks you shouldn't order in Ireland under no circumstances.

Drinks in Ireland: 15 Best Irish Drinks You Must Try

Irish Beer

Note on craft beer: This type of beer is becoming bigger and bigger in Ireland, so many excellent breweries are popping up here and there.

So we promise to update this post with new Irish beverages as we try them, including these local Irish breweries you won't find in many places outside of Ireland.

Great, now let's get it started!

1. Guinness Draught - one of the most traditional Irish drinks

First things first, the worldwide famous Irish beer must start this list. If you haven't tasted it yet, well, you should!

Guinness is a light beer that tastes like coffee and dark wheat. It's a smooth beer with a dark amber color that perfectly matches its gentle coffee smell. Can you taste it yet?

Guinness' story began in the 18th-century in Kildare County when Arthur Guinness used his godfather's inheritance (£ 100) to set up his ale brewery.

About 48 years later, he decided to take the leap and focused on brewing only dark beer. After his death, his son took over the business, and after years of improvement (and success), the beer we know today was perfected.

ABV: 4.2%

2. Smithwick's Red Ale

Smooth and malty with a slightly bitter taste, a tad sweet.

This reddish-brown ale was founded in Kilkenny in the 18th-century, but Smithwicks started brewing long before that. Guinness bought it a little over 150 years later.

ABV: 4.5%

3. Murphy's Stout

Following the dark beer team, Murphy is a creamy and smooth beer that has a tad of coffee/ dark chocolate and a roasted grain aroma. Taste is well-balanced between bitter and sweet.

If you want to try an Irish stout that is not Guinness, try Murphys. There are similarities and yet so many differences. Hard to explain. You have to taste it to understand.

ABV: 4%

4. Black and Black

Perfect for those who want to lighten up their Guinness pint, black and black is basically Guinness mixed with blackcurrant. So the latter smooths the bitter taste of the stout.

As mentioned above, Guinness tastes like roasted coffee and dark wheat, and some people might not like it (my husband included, can you believe that?!).

So add blackcurrant to it if you're like my husband, and you're good to go!

Irish Whiskeys & Irish Cocktails

Whiskey, or the literal translation from the original Irish name "water of life" ( uisce beatha), is one of the most famous Irish drinks, and rightly so because it has a smooth finish due to the fact that most brands don't use peat (Connemara is an exception).

In contrast, most Scottish whiskeys do use peat which gives them a smoky and earthy taste.

Fun fact: by law, Irish whiskey must be produced in Ireland (duh) and aged in wooden casks for three years to be considered whiskey.

5. Tullamore Dew

This whiskey has fruity and spicy, lemony, malty notes with charred wood undertones giving it a soft and buttery flavor that lingers in the mouth.

It's known for its smoothness and moderate complexity, as you might have noticed.

ABV: 40%

6. Jameson

One of the biggest names of Irish Whiskey brands, Jameson is incredibly smooth and slightly sweet, vanilla-ish taste with woody and nutty tones.

Aging time is between 4-7 years. Furthermore, because this kind of beverage is really strong, many people look for some Jameson mixed drinks, such as the next three Irish mixed drinks.

ABV: 40%

7. Ginger & Lime

An Irish alcoholic drink that is much weaker than Jameson alone because it has three parts of ginger ale and one of Jameson. It's perfect if you aren't used to drinking such strong beverages but want to try them for the first time.

You basically fill a tall glass with ice (as said), pour one part of Jameson Irish whiskey over the ice, then top up with ginger ale and stir gently. Cut a large lime wedge, lightly squeeze it into the glass and drop the wedge in.

8. Irish Coffee - one of the most popular Irish drinks

The first hot drink on this list, Irish coffee is the perfect drink for caffeine lovers who like to take it to the edge.

As you might know, Ireland is a land of tales, and coincidentally, legend has it that an Irish man created this drink during WWII to cheer up passengers of a flight that returned to Foynes, a village in Limerick county, on a winter night due to bad weather.

This is one of the easiest Jameson drinks you can prepare at home. Just be sure to warm the glass with warm water to avoid breaking it.

In summary, this Irish drink only contains whiskey, brown sugar, whipped cream, and hot coffee.

Oh, and the classic recipe is prepared with Jameson, but if you want a more spicy taste, go for Bushmills, a fruity and spicy whiskey with gentle vanilla and honey notes.

9. Irish Hot Whiskey

Also known as Hot Toddy, this is a strong remedy for those dull days, either because you have a cold or are just moody. On top of that, the Irish alcohol, together with lemon, spices, and sugar, will ease you down.

In a nutshell, Irish hot whiskey is prepared with the ingredients mentioned above, cloves, and a little boiling water.

Irish Liquor/ Irish Cream Liquor

Irish cream is made of cream, Irish whiskey, and flavorings. A sweet drink that women, including me, mostly love.

Usually, the alcohol by volume ranges between 15-20%, and it's a bit too easy to drink - be careful, the sweet taste might catch you off guard - you can definitely get drunk by drinking Irish cream liquor.

10. Baileys Irish Cream - among the most popular Irish drinks

Inspired by the process of making ice cream, Baileys is a delicious mix of Irish whiskey (Bushmills, among others), rich cocoa beans, and top vanilla seeds.

The result is a deep nutty/ coffee/ chocolate aroma and taste. Drooling over here. Good when served on the rocks or just cold. Oh, and the Chocolat Luxe bottle uses Belgian chocolate.

Note: If I were to choose an Irish Cream Liqueur to mix in a drink, I would pick Baileys rather than Coole Swan. The latter is too pure and good for that.

ABV: 17%

11. Coole Swan

My husband isn't a fan of this type of beverage (not just Irish liquors specifically), but he makes an exception for this mouthwatering Irish liqueur with white Belgian chocolate and creamy taste and aroma.

It's smooth and sweet, but not overly sweet. In our opinion, it's tastier when served on the rocks.

ABV: 16%

12. Carolans

Carolans' differential is their final touch: honey! This Irish drink also uses cream and excellent Irish whiskey, which has its flavor accentuated by the honey, so its notes come more clearly through.

This smooth liqueur has gentle notes of toffee and vanilla. Very creamy but not overly creamy, Carolans is delicious with coffee or just on the rocks.

Many people ask if Carolans is as good as Baileys, and my answer is yes, but the former isn't so heavy as the latter.

ABV: 17%

Irish Cider

Cider has become an increasingly popular drink in Ireland and in the UK in the last few years. Basically made of fermented apple juice, Irish Cider is the perfect refreshing drink in the summer (and the ideal beverage to warm you up in the winter).

With around the same alcohol percentage as beers, cider is an excellent option for those who want something more than a regular beer. It's nice to try new things sometimes.

13. Bulmers

Bulmers is one of the most famous Irish drinks. A cider brand in Ireland that uses 17 varieties of Irish apple to produce its cider.

It has a refreshing bubbly sweet flavor and only 4.5% abv. Besides the original taste, it also has five fruity variants: Light, strawberry & lime, lemon, berry, and pear. All tasty and refreshing.

Good to know: Bulmers is Magners in Northern Ireland and outside Ireland for trademark reasons.

14. Orchard Thieves

Heineken is the world's largest producer of cider, and Orchard Thieves is part of this Dutch company's portfolio.

However, according to them, OT was produced especially for our Irish buddies' taste based on research.

A relatively sweet drink, Orchard Thieves is a refreshing beverage that has that delicious crisp apple taste.

As I said, it's quite sweet, but don't worry if you're part of the low sugar team; they sell a light version too.

ABV: 4.5%

15. Glendalough Gin

Glendalough Distillery produces top-notch botanical gins, among other Irish beverages, such as whiskey and poitín.

Also, the company forages wildflowers and plants in the Glendalough region each season to make seasonal gins representing the region and each time of the year. So, summer, fall, winter, and spring.

ABV: 41%

Drinks That You Shouldn't Order in Ireland

Well, this list has lots of Irish drinks that you should try in the Emerald Isle as well as at home (why not, right?!).

However, there are a few drinks in Ireland that just shouldn't be ordered because their names are historically offensive to the Irish people and totally inappropriate, in our opinion.

People who do order them will risk having their drink spit on or being thrown out of the pub. You have been warned.

Black and Tan

It's a layered drink of Guinness and Bass Ale, a pale ale beer. If you're trying it at home, you should pour Bass Ale first, then with the help of an inverted spoon, pour Guinness so it can layer onto the light-colored beer.

So far, it seems pretty inoffensive, and it would be if the name wasn't black and tan, which was the nickname given to the British paramilitary force formed by WWI veterans designated to stop the Irish independence movement in the 1920s.

As a matter of fact, they used highly violent methods also against civilians and burned down whole towns, hence why the Irish despise this name.

Moreover, they wore black and khaki clothing, and for this reason, they were named black and tan. Now you know.

Please, be empathetic and order other St Patricks Day drinks, such as a Half and a Half.

Irish Car Bomb

The drink is a 3/4 pint of Guinness with a shot of half Jameson, half Baileys inside the glass. After that, it starts foaming, hence the bomb in the name. Again, so far, it seems inoffensive, but it isn't.

A little research will show you that the IRA and the Ulster loyalists widely used car bombs in the second half of the 20th century throughout Northern Ireland and occasionally spread in the Republic of Ireland and England, destroying many people's lives.

Just like black and tan, this name is historically offensive in the country, and saying it out loud like you're celebrating it shows insensibility, like many people taking cool selfies in front of Auschwitz or war memorials.

Can you imagine a drink called 9/11? Ouch! Avoid being thrown out of a bar and just order Guinness or an Irish whiskey.

Final Thoughts on the Best Irish Drinks

The complete list of drinks in Ireland that are worth trying is surely much longer, but with this article, we hope to give you an idea of what you should order in the Emerald Isle (or even prepare at home!).

If you, by any chance, know about some other Irish drinks yourself, let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear from you!

Oh, and be sure to drink responsibly.

If you're planning a trip to Ireland, know that you don't have to try all of these Irish drinks in, let's say, one night in Dublin (or even two days in Dublin, for that matter!)

After all, Ireland is not going anywhere. 😉

If you like breakfast tea, you've probably come across the two main varieties of traditional breakfast tea: English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast. Both teas pair beautifully with a delicious stack of pancakes in the morning, but what exactly is the difference?

Irish tea is known for being incredibly strong and flavorful. Tea is also deeply ingrained in Irish culture, so there are quite a few traditions surrounding their tea. Read on to learn more about Irish tea and its rich (and delicious) history.

What Is Irish Tea?

Like the country it's named after, Irish Breakfast tea is powerful and strong - but it actually doesn't come from Ireland. Rather, Irish tea is a blend of two or three black teas, usually originating from Indian tea regions.

Irish tea typically uses Assam black tea as a base, since this tea is known for its hearty texture and strong flavor. Other black tea varieties that you might find in Irish tea include Darjeeling and Ceylon. Although the Irish drink many kinds of tea, this hearty black "breakfast" tea is usually the tea of choice at any time of the day.

Although some Irish tea drinkers take their tea without any additives, many Irish folk use milk and sugar to flavor their tea. When drinking Irish tea, it's also common to add a spritz of lemon juice to the tea.

History of Irish Tea

Irish tea has quite a rich and colorful history, so let's dive in!

The English Origins of Irish Tea

Irish tea came over from England in the early 1800s, when the two countries were jointly considered Britain. At the time, the English had to import their tea indirectly through China, which was a very expensive and lengthy process.

Because of this, tea was mainly reserved for the upper class. Lower-class citizens typically couldn't afford the steep prices that merchants demanded for their tea, and even the wealthy had to save their tea for social gatherings.

The English eventually began purchasing their tea from India, which introduced the Irish to Assam black tea. This tea became a staple in the Irish breakfast tea blends, although it was still just as expensive as the Chinese tea due to tariffs and tea company monopolies.

Because the English controlled the tea supply, often the only tea that made it to Ireland was the harsher, lower-quality tea. The Irish soon began to adapt to the overbearing tea by incorporating milk and sugar to soften the taste. In fact, the Irish still do this today!

After the Irish Starvation in the mid-19th century, many women from the lower classes actually looked down upon tea drinking. They saw tea drinking as a frivolous waste of time and money, which could be put to better use in homemaking.

Also around this time, pamphlets were put into circulation that wrongly criticized tea for its "addictive" qualities. Who knew there could be so much controversy around tea?

Another reason for the controversy was the male-dominated society at the time. The men became convinced that, if left to tea-drinking and gossiping, the Irish women would eventually decide to stage a revolt. Thankfully, Ireland moved on with its tea-drinking culture intact.

The Liberation of Irish Tea

In 1935, Samuel Bewley decided to change the game by importing tea directly from the source. This was a risky move, as there were a lot of moving parts. However, Bewley was successful.

Getting tea directly from India meant a few things to the Irish. First, they were able to get tea of a much finer quality. Soon, the Irish became accustomed to only the finest tea.

Second, tea became much cheaper. So much so, that even the lower classes were able to enjoy fine teas. Soon enough, tea became deeply ingrained in Irish social customs, with tea being offered everywhere and to everyone.

During World War II, England reduced a substantial amount of Ireland's tea imports. Since the Irish were still receiving most of their tea from England at the time, this dealt a huge blow to their tea-drinking culture.

It was around this time that Ireland made the choice to cut England out entirely. The Irish negotiated trade directly with tea growers and has done so ever since.

Irish Tea Traditions

The Irish had to fight for their rich tea culture, so it makes sense that they have quite a few traditions surrounding their tea. Here are some of our favorite things about Irish tea culture.

All Day, Every Day

If you thought you liked tea, think again. The average Irish person drinks between six and seven cups a day, making Ireland one of the leading nations in the world for tea consumption. They use almost seven pounds of dry tea leaves every year!

Many Irish people start their day with a cup, drink throughout the day, and end their day with another cup. Although the Irish do enjoy other flavors of tea, Irish Breakfast tea still tends to be a classic.

Maybe it's the subtle flavors of African or Darjeeling black tea, or maybe it's the roasted taste of the favorite Assam black tea. Either way, black tea will probably always have a place in Irish culture.

If you want to taste Assam by itself, we recommend Olltco Organic Assam Black Tea. This single-origin black tea is a great way to connect with Irish culture and taste the undercurrent of Ireland's history.

Stronger is Better

Because the Irish started out drinking incredibly harsh tea that was passed over by the British, they developed a tradition of using milk and sugar in their tea. Even when they began to experience fine teas, the Irish people wanted to keep this tradition.

Because they use these additives, the Irish people brew their tea very strongly. They often use extra tea bags and steep their tea for longer in order to get a richer taste. This way, they can taste the tea even through the milk and sugar.

To make a true Irish tea, you'll need an incredibly strong black tea. The tea should be very flavorful, but also highly caffeinated. You can enjoy your tea with cream and sugar, but there's no pressure! It isn't a faux-pax to take your tea straight in Ireland.

Tea is a necessary element of every social interaction in Ireland. In fact, as soon as a guest arrives, it is often considered impolite to not immediately offer your guest some tea.

Beyond offering tea to your guests, the Irish rarely make themselves a single cup of tea. Instead, it is an Irish custom to make a big pot of tea upon rising and whenever you would like tea so that others may join you in your tea time.

Whenever you make tea, Irish custom states you should then offer tea to those around you. The act of making and offering tea is a deeply social practice rooted in old Irish hospitality.

To make a true pot of Irish tea, try something traditional like Stash Tea Super Irish Breakfast. This Irish tea features a high ratio of Assam black tea for a fuller Irish taste, and it even comes super-strong so that you don't have to use up more tea bags!

Politely Decline - At First

This may seem contradictory, but you should always decline your host's first offer of tea. It's Irish tradition to continue offering tea until your guest makes it clear they would not like a cup. You can even decline the second offer of tea if you really want to show that you don't want to be an imposition, but make sure to accept the third if you truly want a cup of tea.

Likewise, as a host, Irish tea culture says you should offer tea at least three times immediately upon a guest's arrival. If you're confused, that's okay. We don't make the rules, but we do think it's a lovely custom that highlights Irish hospitality and friendliness.

Sum it All Up

Ireland's tea history depicts so much more than tea. Beyond just the history of tea, it is the history of a nation overcoming odds and a testament to the practice of Irish hospitality.

The Irish fought hard for quality tea, and it's clear that even now the nation treasures the history behind the drink. From the traditions of taking tea with cream and sugar to the deeply social nature of Irish tea, every Irish tea custom and tradition is rooted in their history.

In more recent times Irish teams have also found some success in athletics, cricket and rowing.

The main sport on a national level in Ireland is the national indigenous GAA games of hurling and Gaelic football which enjoy nationwide popularity ahead of rugby and soccer. Croke Park in Dublin is the historic home of Gaelic games in Ireland and hosts all major national competition finals. The stadium has undergone extension regeneration over the past ten years and can hold up to 82,300 spectators.

Rugby Union

After the popularity of gaelic games comes soccer and rugby which have quickly gained in popularly over the years most of all rugby of which has enjoyed great success in the last few years. Irish provincial rugby is now fully professional and has witnessed significant success since the turn of the century with the provinces of Munster and Leinster, in particular, being crowned champions of Europe on five occasions. The other provincial sides of Ulster and Connacht have also proved competitive in European competitions. Local club rugby remains the heartbeat of the national game and acts as a feeder system for the Irish provinces. The Irish national side has also been competitive on the international scene over recent times (in the top five in the world), and claimed the coveted Six Nations Grand Slam title in 2009.

Association Football (Soccer)

Domestic soccer in the Republic of Ireland comprises a league system and is governed by the Football Association of Ireland.

The league is made up clubs from across the country.

Shamrock Rovers are the country's most successful domestic club with 17 titles followed by Shelbourne and Bohemians.

Definição: Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.

⦁ Ulster (north),

⦁ Munster (south),

⦁ Leinster (east),

⦁ Connacht (west).

Each of the counties has rich tourist sites that attract many tourists from all over the world to learn about Ireland's history.

There are several archaeological sites dating back to before Christ, as well as castles and churches from the medieval period and monuments that recall civil and religious battles.

Nature is also rich in Ireland, with its cliffs, fields, natural parks home to countless species of fauna and flora, beaches, caves, waterfalls, islands, a large and immense sacred ground that preserves many of the world's natural wonders.

The Irish weather works on the 'four seasons in a day' principle, which means that you can't predict a thing when it comes to the behaviour of the sky. Some basic assumptions, however, can be made.

Generally Speaking:

The climate of Ireland can be summed up as being mild, moist and changeable with abundant rainfall and a lack of temperature extremes. The country receives generally warm summers and mild winters This is due to the fact that Ireland lies in the Atlantic Ocean, and as a result is warmed by the Gulf Stream all year.

Sunniest Months:

The sunniest months are May and June. During these months sunshine duration averages between 5 and 6.5 hours per day over most of the country. May to July, the days are reasonably warm and - most importantly - very long: at the height of summer you won't need to turn on lights until after 10pm. It is also peak tourist season

Wettest Months:

Rainfall is extremely common throughout Ireland. The wettest months, almost everywhere are December and January. April is the driest month generally but in many southern parts, June is the driest.

Temperature:

Ireland does not suffer from the extremes of temperature experienced by many other countries at similar latitude.
