Very good and strong
Very good and strong black tea. Takes milk and sugar well. Tannins are high, color is dark. Taste is awesome if you like strong tea.I go through a pound or more a month. My go-to are straight Assam CTC and Scottish Breakfast. This is +1 over those in taste, color, aroma (malty), and boldness. I saw this on Amazon and thought I’d give it a try. The price is higher than I usually do but it turns out worth it.If you like strong black, give it a try. If you like green or oolong - this will be a big jump in boldness.I give it 5-stars all around.

Good but expensive tea
Very strong, tastier and expensive tea. However, the tea is in fine form like coarse powder that required fine filtering before consumption. It is very expensive at $15 for 1/2 lb. Personally, i would say it is stronger and tastier than PG tips.

Excellent tea, service
Arrived sooner than expected, well packaged, and with many months remaining before the expiration date. (I forget how many, but I think it was more than 6 months).Marks & Spencer (aka "Marks and Sparks") Extra Strong Loose Tea is strong, dark, flavorful (a hint of floral notes), and very smooth. It's been our favorite English breakfast tea for more than a decade. And because it's so hard to find in the States, we've repeatedly tried (and always failed) to find a better tea.I drink it with a splash of unsweetened almond milk and no sugar. (It doesn't need sugar). Unlike many other popular brands, it doesn't become undrinkable and bitter if you over-steep it.For my tastes, 3 minutes is the perfect steep time. If you want it a bit stronger,5-6.But if you forget it and leave it to steep for 10-15 minutes, it will still be fine. There will be some unavoidable bitterness, but nothing that a splash of milk and/or pinch of sugar won't neutralize). The same can't be said for many other breakfast teas in our cabinet, which can become unpalatably bitter if steeped much beyond 5-6 minutes.Highly, highly recommended.

good strong tea
If you like strong black tea, this is a good one. The bags don't seem to be as strong, but I may be a little heavy handed when using the loose tea. This brand is in my top 5. Other brands that are good are Bewley's Dublin Morning, Bewley's Irish Afternoon, Ringtons Northumbrian loose & bags & Ringtons Traditional.

Not as advertised
Odorless, tasteless, powder. Not leaf and not even remotely flavorful let alone extra strong.
