I love the taste of this black tea —- not the least bit bitter. It’s a great morning drink if you need a little caffeine boost. The package is quite lovely and the loose leaves should last quite a while. I can usually get three cups out of each serving of tea leaves! Wonderful quality tea.

Customer reviews
very nice taste to this tea, the actual leaves could be bigger, however I would buy this again. I'm trying another Black tea in the Nilgiri blue range (waiting for iherb to deliver) This one is good though!
Even when steeped for a long time this tea doesn't get bitter. It really is lovely on its own without anything added. It also seems to have less caffeine that most black teas. I can drink more than one cup without getting the jangly caffeine buzz (note: I am NOT a coffee drinker).
I typically only buy whole loose leaf tea with a harvest date, grower, etc., but occasionally will buy mainstream organic options. This was actually good enough to purchase again and is likely far better than most teas available in stores.
On my second package of this delightful tea. It's a good deal and I hope that you enjoy it as I do.
Another fine tea from the TAO. i love their teas, the packaging , all the information they provide, this is done right. And affordable. It overdelivers!
This tea tastes fresh and smooth, and you can tell the leaves are good quality. One serving makes a few cups, and they all come out consistent with no weird aftertaste. Definitely one I’d buy again.
Love this tea because it is organic and has health benefits. The tea leaves are whole, not ground. Whole tea leaves are hard to find, so I am very happy to find it! Nice sealed package, in 3.5 oz size. Tastes great … quality organic ingredients
Loved the double lidded tin. Very useful to reuse to keep tea fresh.
We drink quite a bit of high end tea at our house and this tea was new to us. The flavor and quality are great. Everyone in the house liked it. The reusable tea tin is an extra bonus. It seals tightly and keeps the tea fresh. It seals so tightly that it is a bit difficult to remove with the metal knob on the top. We open by lifting the lid from the side. It is a great price for the quality and # of servings.
