Black Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea, 4 Ounce

A very tasty and reasonably priced Earl Grey. Good for an everyday tea!

If you love Earl Grey, get this one. Loose leaf is always a treat because you control the intensity, but this lovely tea requires less tea than I get in bags it is so flavorful.

I was initially going to rate this one star but that was only because I was an idiot and a creature of habit. Normally when I steep my tea using the bags (namely Bigelow), I just leave the bag in for the remaining time I'm drinking my tea and it tastes perfectly fine. So I attempted to do the same thing here with this loose leaf tea and it kept coming out bitter. I turned down the temperature of the water and that didn't help. So I put on my thinking hat (🙄) and did some research. The result of my research is that, ideally, you should boil to 212°F (I went down to 201°F just to play it safe), use 1tsp of tea leafs and steep for 2-4 minutes (I did 2 minutes to play it safe). I followed that and the tea came out perfectly. What I was doing wrong before was I was steeping it for way too long. And my guess with the 1 star reviews for this product is these folks made similar mistakes that I did. I know my review is pointing out the obvious to seasoned tea drinkers, but this review is for the silly geese such as myself. Btw I love that this came in a tin. I love tins. My only qualm is that it's not a decorative enough tin for my tastes. I can't display this tin as artwork later. :( Oh well.

This is a good black tea, but it doesn't taste like Earl Grey tea. Not enough bergamot flavour to my taste.

You always know that Harney and Sons teas will be amazing. They are a trusted brand and consistent in their quality. I enjoy Earl Grey, but also like their breakfast tea. I have a Brown Betty teapot and needed loose leaf tea for it. I have used their tea in satchels and it also delicious.

Best Earl Grey mixture. Have been buying E.G. since 1963! This is the one to buy!

good product
