Welsh Tea Loaf (Bara Brith)
Welsh Tea Loaf (Bara Brith) is a moist, fruit-studded bread infused with brewed tea that gives it a gentle tannic warmth and deep sweetness. Tender crumb and juicy currants and golden raisins make every slice rich and aromatic, especially with a smear of butter. Serve for afternoon tea, weekend brunch, or as a cozy after-dinner treat.
