Harney & SonsEnglish Breakfast, Loose Leaf Black Tea, 8 Ounce (Pack of 1) (packaging may vary)

Paris blend. Everything about this tea is quality from the tea itself to the tin, presentation etc. it smells and tastes delicious. With that said it’s a bit on the weak side for me. I should’ve known, says exactly what it is on the tin, but I was paying too much attention to flavor types and descriptions. I’m still happy with my purchase simply for the experience and best tea tin I’ve ever seen. I won’t rate it under 5 stars because my issue with it is a personal taste issue, it isn’t my cup of tea so to speak 😅. I would still suggest anyone that’s thinking about it to try it, never know til you do.ETA: I finally made some of this tea with a brewmaster, it’s absolutely excellent in every way(could use a bit more body). Makes a much better tea than using a ball/dunking infuser. I would suggest everyone use this device for any loose leaf.

Smells great! Seems like a good quality leaf with a great smoky flavor. It's a small amount for the cost but quality.

One of the best fruit flavored black teas out there. Excellent aroma, great taste. Highly recommended! I do a 4 minute brew with 190 - 200 F water.

This blew me away, a GREAT flavor for serious black tea drinkers.

I gave only 4 stars because it has a lot of fine particles in it so I have to strain it every time. I finally ordered tea bags to see if that will help. But it’s not worth the price to me if I have to buy extra stuff just to be able to use it. Though I do believe it is the best chocolate flavor tea I have ever tasted.

I confess that I came to loose leaf brewing some years ago because of an episode of NCIS-LA. I decided to give it a whirl and was AMAZED. Tea brewed this way was a far superior beverage. And I quickly settled on Harney & Sons English Breakfast Tea as "my" tea.Brewed in a pot I find this tea to be clear and and have a pleasant in flavor that has been quite consistent through the years. I warm the pot first and use BOILING water to brew the tea. It can't be too hot. I like to steep mine for 5 minutes if I'm having it straight. If I'm adding cream (Hello Keto fans!) I steep it for 7 to 10 minutes to bring out more flavor.If you're new to steeping loose leaf tea then plan on experimenting a bit. Always use boiling water for BLACK teas like this one but the amount of tea and how long it steeps can and should be experimented with whenever you change teas. I've also found a good tea pot and an electric water kettle to be good investments. I use filtered water where I live now and that improves the flavor but that depends on your locality. Personally I've come to enjoy the ritual of making tea in the morning as much as the tea afterwards. Your mileage may vary.Contrary to what some have said I find it does develop quite strong flavors if left steeping too long so I use a timer. In my experience this is true for all black teas. Also, if you're making a pot, I've found that by setting the pot on a folded dish towel and draping another over it keeps the tea hot enough for me to enjoy the second mug. Or they sell something called a "tea cozy" if you want to get fancy.This tea is well worth trying on it's own and another reviewer was right about the lovely smell. Also the 8 ounce tea tins this tea comes in are just the right size. I saved a couple and then started ordering in the 1lb bag which I decant into my tins.

Good packaging. Worth the price. Love the flavor. Just so nice

I have never been much of a tea drinker but awhile back I saw this tea here while shopping for something else and it sure sounded good, I had to try it. My first try was from a small pack of the bagged variety and those were gone fast so I bought a larger package of the pre-bagged variety and those too were gone fast. Now I stepped up to a pound and am expecting delivery today. Yay!All Smiles! :-)
