Lovely and fragrant.

This is the best tea. I don't use as much as the directions say. It was a little strong for me. The flavor and aroma as wonderful. My new favorite tea!

Tea has a wonderful flavor. I drink daily in chai masala. The box was damaged on my recent order, and I asked for a refund which was granted by the seller as this item is non returnable. Will continue to order from this seller in future.

Despite the wide range of both positive and negative ratings, I find this to be a good everyday cup of tea, provided one makes it properly. First, I use a proper teaspoon measure, because most silverware teaspoons are not accurate. Second, I use the wisdom of ancients (ie my mom) and put one spoon per person plus one for the pot, every time. Third, preheat the pot. Fourth, pour boiling water directly on the leaves. Fifth, do not stir after pouring but let the tea steep unstirred for exactly 5 minutes. Then stir and pour. Works perfectly every time. A word about the flavor: this leaf remains small after boiling instead of expanding into a full size leaf in the pot. I don’t believe that impacts the flavor at all. This was how tea looked in my parental home as well as in most of the English tea shops of my considerable experience. I don’t pretend to be a tea connoisseur, but come from a family of tea drinkers going back several centuries. It’s good quality tea, and that’s all that matters to me.

We tried black tea from American supermarkets but it wasn't the same. Something about how they process it makes Taj Mahal perfect for a delicious cup of chai.
