Assam TGFOP Black Tea, Loose Leaf, 16 Ounce

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’ve been using this for brewing tea for my Kombucha. I love it! Tea strength, color and aroma is great!

I recently tried these loose black tea leaves, and I’m absolutely thrilled with my purchase! The taste is fantastic – rich, smooth, and full-bodied. It has a wonderful aroma and a depth of flavor that’s just perfect for my morning tea or any time of day. One of the best things about these tea leaves is how versatile they are. I use them to make kombucha, and they work wonderfully. The tea ferments beautifully, producing a delicious, tangy kombucha with a perfect balance of flavors. It’s clear that these leaves are of high quality, which makes a big difference in the end result. In terms of value, this product is unbeatable. You get a generous amount of tea for a very reasonable price. Compared to other brands I’ve tried, this one offers great quality without breaking the bank. Plus, the packaging is convenient and keeps the tea fresh. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with these loose black tea leaves. They taste great, work perfectly for making kombucha, and offer excellent value for the price. If you’re a tea lover or a kombucha brewer, I highly recommend giving these a try. Five stars all the way!

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

If you want to get wired, this will do the trick. Also, it's tasty and economical

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.
