Taylors of Harrogate Loose Leaf Tea 1kg (Pure Assam)

Excellent coarse-cut Assam tea. Some have complained more tea than usual is required, but coarse-cut tea doesn't pack as well as finely cut tea, so this is normal. I typically brew three heaped teaspoons in an average (1 litre) teapot, and wait for the leaves to fully soak and sink. Others have complained that it takes too long to brew, but seriously if you are civilised enough to be drinking specific regional teas rather than a typical UK blended tea, you'd already be aware of that. Being coarse-cut, you can get away with using a cafetiere to brew it in, but a proper china teapot, especially with a tea-cosy if you'll be coming back later for more, is ideal. Taste is strong, colour is red to dark brown, malty/vanilla hit without a bitter aftertaste. Best kept in an air-tight container (or split amongst several, because 1kg is rather a lot of tea).

Excellent tea and arrives quickly

My favourite

I'm an Assam tea drinker and was looking for a better/more cost effective tea than the usual tea bags. These loose leaves make a nice enough cup of tea. It's not the strongest I've had and it does require quite a bit of brewing time to get it about right. Flavourwise, it's pretty good and I've no complaints about that. On the whole, it's quite good tea at a reasonable price.

Very good product, packed correctly, good flavour and colour,

Great value Good flavour

Delivered fast, packed really well. This coffee is a little bit too bitter for my taste, but don't let that put you off, as it is a good product.

Makes a proper brew in an infusion tea pot.
