Assam TGFOP Black Tea

I just switched from drinking coffee for the last 20 years to tea. I can definitely feel the difference overall. Before the tea I think mentally and routinely I was only making coffee just to have the first cup. Hasn’t done anything for me for the last 5-8 years. I was turned to this tea by a customer of mine. I had about 4 sips and I felt like I was ready to run 80 miles without a break lol. It gives you that energy rush, tastes great, and is affordable!

This Assam tea is delicious and I agree with all of the positive reviews. The instructions could be a bit better and I couldn't find any in the reviews I read so I'm posting how I make iced tea with the Assam version: 4 cups of 212 F degree water (or boiling if your kettle doesn't track temp) 2 slightly rounded tablespoons of Assam tea (this may sound like a lot but these leaves are bigger than other loose or bagged tea I've tried) Steep for 4 minutes. Remove tea without trying to press the water out of the tea leaves, wait 20 mins or so for tea to cool down a bit, and then pop into the refrigerator for 2 hours or so. Serve over ice. So refreshing, not astringent or bitter at all. Also great with a squeeze of lemon juice. You can double the recipe if needed. Hope that helps!

I use this tea for brewing kombucha. It tastes great and is perfect for what I use it for. Great quality, I've purchased many times!

This is our every morning tea of choice. It smells and tastes like my Platonic ideal of morning tea. I usually steep for 3 minutes the first time and 6 for a second cup. It’s robust: I use 1.5 tsp for a 16 oz mug of dark, strong tea. A pound lasts two of us for about a month and a half or longer. A great bargain.

I've tried a few of these, so I figured I'd share for anyone curious. • Assam: very good quality and reasonable for the price; one of my favorite • Earl Grey: the bergamot is very strong; might be better with a lighter brewing • English Breakfast: pretty good, but I've had better • Irish Breakfast: very good; definitely one of my favorites; malty and rich; excellent with milk • Lapsang Souchong: absolutely horrid; tastes like ashes from a campfire; I brewed it once because it was so bad • Scottish Breakfast: I was hoping for the same level as the Irish Breakfast, but it's not on par; very granular and a low to mid quality tea • Yunnan: absolutely delicious; a strong contender for the best; much lighter and difficult to mess up; would make a good iced tea

1st - Great flavor. Nothing like grocery store brands. 2nd - Ordering again. Has a really robust flavor. I'll be ordering every month.

Great taste, Clean love it

The tea is full of twigs and flavourless. The top photos shows the positively tea and the bottom one shows my usual tea assam tea, for comparison. Outrageous that this is being sold as ‘tea’
