Brew Tea Co - English Breakfast Tea in Classic Tin - Strong & Malty - 150g Loose Leaf Tea

This makes a really lovely cup of tea. I love making myself one in the morning when that first cuppa just kick starts the day. If you leave it for about 3/4mins it turns the most beautiful colour of red. The tea is smooth and strong but not bitter. Love how the tin is quirky and bright. This is my favourite loose leaf tea atm.

I have this on regular order. It’s great value and looks top quality. Superb taste too. Lasts me a few weeks as I only use it first thing in the morning in a Bru machine. Lots of varieties available but this is best.

I know taste is subjective, but I do think Yorkshire Tea has the edge, even though their loose tea is a bit more "dusty". I appreciate the quality of the tea here and the whole leaves but the taste was not quite as I liked. But that is the thing, you might absolutely love it, it is definitely worth a try if you like your tea.

This is lovely tasting tea. Nice rolled whole leaves. I reckon it should make about 50-60 250ml cups which is pretty good value for money. Love the tin, shame the courier left it's customary dent & dink...why can't these people handle things with more care and respect? Easy making a good quality cuppa. I will be purchasing more.

I thought I’d try this for a change. It’s really tasty tea with a lovely flavour. It’s proper tea leaves rather than powder. This is a reorder.

Very tasty.

Lovely, rounded whole leaf tea. My leaves were all big rolled leaves that unfurled when soaked that had a nice rounded taste. I wouldn't say it was strong but I do drink very strong tea normally and taste is subjective. None the less, this is my favorite tea for it's flavour. Strong tea drinkers will have to let it steep for a couple of more minutes but worth the wait.

Whilst my sense is that this tea is a bit overpriced for what it is (cheaper on Amazon than when buying direct), I had wanted to try it, due to the generally positive reviews. It is certainly a perfectly drinkable tea, and more pleasant than the 'usual suspects' (supermarket teas). However, my socks were not blown off, for the following reasons: (1) I am used to larger-leaf teas, and fully appreciate that they will take longer to brew. This one takes longer than most. (2) I am not persuaded by the descriptions of this being 'strong and full-flavoured', as it is not. Indeed, I found I had to use slightly more than my normal 1.5 tsp in a small pot, to get what I wanted out of it, and this required leaving it for longer to brew. (3) Quite a bit of twig in this box - an unusual experience. Hence my overall score of 3 stars. Not bad, just not good enough.
