First time buyer from proper tea company, but very pleased with my selection of teas I purchased, love the flavour and taste, thoroughly recommend to anyone

This tea has great flavour without being too bitter. It’s good enough to drink with no milk. It seems to be sold out so I will have to search for another staple, hopefully temporarily.
I have been drinking it for around a year I’d say. I love it. I wish it was in the main supermarkets. I love the eco packaging also. Ticks all the boxes for a fussy buyer like me.

Wonderful tea

Light, delicate, and full of flavour

Very enjoyable-the champagne of teas

Brewing Black Tea
Use about 1 rounded teaspoon per cup (adjust according to taste).
Add water that is around 100°C.
Allow to brew for 3-5 mins (or as recommended on pack label) and be careful not to over brew.
Black tea is the tea most people think of when we say 'tea'. English Breakfast or some such tea that is very often enjoyed with milk or sugar.
Black tea starts its life just like green tea with leaves from a varietal of the Camellia Sinensis shrub but unlike green or white teas it goes through a process of oxidation that is when the leaf changes to the darker brown we all recognise and takes on those darker characteristics.
