Earl Grey Black Tea Loose Leaf, 340g (170+ Cups) with Bergamot Oil

This earl grey tea is gorgeous. The best earl grey I've tasted. My husband doesn't like earl grey but loves the smell when he opens the bag; it really is amazing.

Simply good! Familiar rich taste of Earl Grey with a citrus hint, very subtle, like added lemon with something more... If too strong, the citrusy taste fades. Really love it, and the price is quite reasonable too. I love tea, but I am not a connoisseur, and I like Yorkshire Tea too...

Bought the sample pack of Earl Grey teas first, as a birthday treat for myself last year. I had no idea there were so many choices to be had in Earl Grey! So, having drunk all of the loose tea now, I made the decision to buy a large bag of loose tea of my favourite from the five types in the sample pack. I'm loving the Black Citrus blend. (I do not understand the Thickness rating to be reviewed, so I have not filled this in). I have given it a 5 stars for flavour. This is a good quality tea and I would recommend it. I have tried many brands in the past decades and have found that lately, the Bergamot hasn't been as strong. ( Maybe due to increasing prices of Bergamot oil? ). This blend is well flavoured and the concentration that I enjoy. Delivery was quick and I shall definitely be ordering more when needed. I pack has lasted me a year and I have h=just received by third order.

Strong , earthy, not the qualities usually attributed to Earl Grey, which should be delicately refreshing. However, unlike most Earl Grey it’s sufficiently infused with the right amount of bergamot oil, and the scent is just beautiful. It is well packaged and stays fresh with the brilliant air tight bag supplied. Real honest to goodness Indian black tea, for the connoisseur. Expensive but worth its money. With Earl Grey as with Darjeeling, never ever use tea bags.

Tasty tea, with natural flavour of bergamot. All my friends liked it very much. It is really good tea, worth to buy. Only the price was very high and now more higher.

I've never tasted it smelt earl grey like this . It tasted like herbal medicine. I have tried to return it because it was obviously contaminated with something else or I was sent the wrong tea but it is not possible for this product. If I could I would have given it a zero star rating.

The tea arrived very quickly and is a repeat order for me. The flavour of the tea is excellent. I take both Assam and Earl Grey without milk or sugar so am very focussed on the taste of the tea on it's own. I will continue to purchase tea from this producer. I also like their story regarding the local farmers receiving a larger share of the revenue from the sale of the tea. Great work Vahdam, keep it up!

Aromatic, and very good value for money!

good test tea and strong

One of the better earl grey teas Ive tried. Great value too! And none of those cornflowers most loose leaf earl grey tea has!!

Update 2018-02-09 Vahdam teas are my daily beverage, all day long, now that i quit drinking coffee and alcohol. I am giving as gifts to friends and family in the convenient to use pyramid bags. The attractive boxes make a nice, affordable gift. I have been drinking Vahdam teas for a couple of years now. I received an email from Bala Sarda, the company founder, and decided to take the time to share about their products. If you like high-quality teas, you really need to check these out. I have a friend at work who visits the prime tea country back at his home in mainland China every few years, and brings back some of the most wonderful teas. They are prohibitively expense for me to purchase here in the US. Vahdam teas are the only teas that I have tasted that remind me of the high-quality, very expensive products from mainland China. Different products but similar high quality. And Vahdam teas from Amazon are very affordable. Here is Bala's story from his email, which I thought worthy of copy/pasting here: "I wish to introduce myself as the 25-year-old, Founder of Vahdam Teas . Your Amazon shipment is Out for Delivery and should reach you very soon. Firstly, thank you for choosing our teas. And before you try them, I wanted to share MY STORY with you. I come with a lineage of over 80 years in tea & I am the 4th generation in my family running a tea business. However, it is when I joined my bulk-tea-export family business, I noticed that most of the tea being sold across the world is passing through multiple middlemen & reaching consumers like you , a minimum of 6-12 months after harvest in the plantations . And by then, most of the PRIME freshness & flavour found in tea is lost. And even though, world famous tea brands are growing every year, the millions of tea growers back here in India are plagued with problems like low wages and are also facing an uncertain future . Yes, even though India grows some of the finest teas in the world (30% of the world's production), the absence of a home-grown brand has made the industry dependent on bulk tea exports to brands who move to poor quality teas from other tea growing regions in order to compete on price points & earn higher margins, as soon as the farmer's increase their price. And to initiate a journey to solve these problems, is when I decided to launch Vahdam Teas, a home-grown Indian tea brand, a couple of years back. How are Vahdam Teas exceptionally fresh? Unlike your everyday cuppa, V ahdam teas do not travel in containers for months before being packaged and sold. All our teas are procured direct from plantations & tea growers within 24-72 hours of harvest , packaged garden fresh and shipped to Amazon warehouses directly from source in India . By eliminating all middlemen we are not only able to make available garden fresh high quality teas but are also able to retain all earnings in the region where these divine teas are grown & nurtured by millions of growers with immense love, care and passion . A process which ultimately helps every farmer get a better price for their produce. Additionally, instead of a date of packaging, most Vahdam Teas come with a Date of Picking/Harvest which is the true indicator a tea's freshness. I would like to thank you for joining our tea family & patronizing a truly ethical, fair-trade tea. I am every excited for you to try our teas & taste the VAHDAM difference. We are honest company, working hard to get better every day & if for some reason you do not like your cup of tea or if they is any other feedback, please don't hesitate to mail me here, directly. I will personally ensure to send you a replacement or a refund. " The Earl Grey Citrus is my favorite, and after years of drinking Starbucks Verona, this is now my daily beverage.

Depuis des années j'étais abonnée au thé Harrods earl Grey mais Brexit oblige exit mon thé trop cher . Après avoir cherché je suis tombée sur tous les commentaires plus que positifs sur l'Earl Grey de Vahdam. Déjà le packaging est super . Le thé est sous vide, un solide sachet plastique bien hermétique est livré avec pour la conservation. A l'ouverture une odeur délicieuse de bergamote se dégage... On met l'eau à bouillir et on verse ... Les feuilles de thé sont de belle taille, les effluves de bergamote toujours aussi présentes...on déguste ... Le goût du thé n'est pas trop prédominant mais bien présent tout de même mais sans âpreté, idem pour la bergamote ( dont le goût bien présent diffère un peu des autres marques et laisse un petit goût bien agréable sur la langue ) Tout ceci sent la fraîcheur !! Je suis conquise et je vous le recommande ...on en boirai des litres.

Actualizacion 2022 Llevo cuatro años consumiendolo y renovando pedidos y estoy mas que satisfecho por su consistencia en la calidad (aunque tiene bastante marketing). Como decía alguien el te en bolsas sabe a bolsa, claro. Como muestra compre uno en bolsas, que es menos latazo de hacer, y nunca más. Este año esperaré a que se recoja la primera cosecha que se hace en marzo y compraré Vahdam fresco para que me dure, que siempre se me agota en otoño. Algun usuario decia que estaba un poco seco, teniendo en cuenta que lo compró en Noviembre no es de extrañar. Como consejo adicional, y dado que a veces, aprieta uno mal el zip y queda abierto, yo lo meto en una caja hermética de latón comome enseño mi bisabuela. 2018 Pruebo el Earl Grey de Vahdam y lo comparo con el que suelo tomar, el original de Twinings (en lata, que va suelto y no en bolsas) que dió lugar a este té. Este té de Vahdam me ha encantado. En mi paladar el Earl Grey de Vahdam tiene un sabor mas “agudo”, menos fuerte y mas lleno de matices y como ellos dicen, es mas cítrico. Me ha encantado y como no he de elegir, lo iré alternando con el original y profundizando en sus diferencias. El packaging y la presentación, son espléndidos, con detalles sobre el momento de recogida o los minutos infusionandose (no mas de cinco), estan haciendo una buen labor y le auguro un buen futuro a este té y a esta empresa. Esta mezcla esta hecha con té negro Indio del norte, de Assam, una de las mejores zonas para el té negro ( el de toda la vida en Occidente). Este té esta cortado en CTC, es decir fino, pero no en polvo. Otros tés de la marca vienen con las hojas enteras Su aroma es excelente y su sabor mas ligero que el original, hará un excelente té frio para el verano. Lo probare y actualizaré. Este es un té para dias de sol, por su sabor, aunque el comentario parezca tonto. Respecto a su precio, es algo msimilar a los tés buenecillos de super cuando no está. La competencia cuesta 5-6 € los cien gramos y este 22,95 € los 450 grs. En promoción (que lo estan introduciendo) es una grandisima compra, pero su calidad y frescura es muy superior en todos los casos.
