Ceylon Orthodox Pekoe Loose Leaf Black Tea 250g Pack

This is absolutely lovely. Very refreshing yet calming and soothing at the same time. No awful after taste from the tannin like you get with tea bags. This was my first try of loose tea leaves after using tea bags for years, I don't like earl grey or fragranced tea so I wanted something similar to normal breakfast tea but didn't want a blended tea so I picked this one and its great. My husband says it has a fragrance but its not flowery like earl grey. I've left it brewing for way too long sometimes yet it doesn't seem to get stewed or too strong. I can drink this in the morning to get going but I can also still sleep well if I drink it at night. Love, love, love.

I'm not a tea expert, but I wanted something a bit better than a bog standard tea bag since giving up milk and sugar in my morning cup. I tried Twinning's loose leaf Breakfast Tea, but this was not any better than what you get in a standard tea bag, i.e. dust. This, buy contrast, is worlds away from that; it looks and smells like proper tea and has a good flavour that's not over heavy on the tannin. I can't say what it's like with milk and sugar, but I'd expect that it would make a nice, light, refreshing cup. The tins good too.

A tasty tea but not quite what I am looking for

Great quality tea - efficient delivery

This is nice tea, but it doesn't really suit my taste. I much prefer the English Breakfast. This tastes similar but seems to be a more 'watered down' version, no matter how long I left it to brew.

Proper Ceylon Pekoe made in with the traditional method. Full leaf curls provide great depth of flavour and a lasting brew. Very good value for money even without the inclusion of a decent tin caddy as part of the deal. Recommended and I will buy again.

I default to an Assam blend The Tea Makers of London Assam Tgfop Thowra Black Loose Leaf Breakfast Tea 125 g Caddy but thought I'd give this a go for a change and ended up preferring it. It's slightly stronger than I've been used to from a Ceylon tea, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned! It's got a lovely depth of flavour without the astringent note you sometimes get with Ceylon, so this would be my go-to blend in future.

Was expecting bigger but it a nice tea maker gift or just to make ice tea with very easy Yea look better Ok price value size is the only problem only fill a mug
