Kusmi Tea - Anastasia - Russian Blend Black Tea with Combination of Bergamot, Lemon, Lime & Orange Blossom Essential Oils (4.4 Ounce (Pack of 1))

On a bitterly cold winters day, when my neighbor's furnace stopped working, I stopped by with my tool kit to try and fix it. (Press here, push that, check the fuse, bang three times there, reset.) As the furnace roared to life, my neighbor asked me what I wanted. "Tea!" I replied. Now, I confess, I suspect this tea's ambiance owed not a little something to the elaborately enameled Russian teapot, the delicate matching cups, and the chocolates laid out oh so temptingly on a platter. But this is the best earl grey tea I have ever had in my life. I took a picture of the tin, and hurried home to buy my own stash.

I think of this as my "chilly weather" or "slow to get moving" tea as it is a full bodied and aromatic tea which always pleases. Can do with lemon/honey or milk/sugar but honestly, straight up allows the flavors and aromas stand on their own. Comes in an attractive tin if you like having your loose leaf teas out on the counter.

tea is a black russian tea nice not bitter and lime with other oils gives better more interesting taste then just bergamot. I find I like it better with splash of milk and a little acacia honey. can its in is pretty enough but not sure how well it seals for tea storage but was fresh enough on arrival. the wait time was reasonable for shipping so am satisfied with company . would buy again.

Along with Earl Grey, Upton Melange Russe and Nina Versailles the pink one, this is one of the go to classic flavored teas for me, by far the best of this line and with that French je ne sais quoi.

I first tasted this lovely tea when we visited Amsterdam. Our hosts had dozens of tins of Kusmi Tea, so we got to try several blends. Anastasia is my favorite - perfect afternoon tea.

It should be known that this review is coming from an avid kusmi tea drinker. I go through Vladimir like water. I love St. Petersburg, Bouquet of flowers, Traktir, Zubrovka etc. So it gives me no pleasure to rate Anastasia so lowly. To me this is basically karavan or Russian morning with a citrus fragrance in the tin. After brewing I have to say the aroma and flavor are largely dissipated leaving the drinker with a serviceable black tea that is really in the end nothing special. If you want a good strong black tea order Russian Morning or Karavan. If you want a truly incredible blend from the Russian series, Anastasia isn't my recommendation. However, i can't tell you how to spend your money.

I really liked the Anastasia tea! Tasted good to me and I’m happy with it.

I love this loose fragrant tea and have been using it for ice tea. Nice aroma and lovely hints of orange. It comes in a beautiful tin that keeps it fresh. I highly recommend it.

I enjoy this earl grey tea, very fragrant. I made a London fog and it tastes amazing.

Really good quality tea. Smells and tastes amazing! All the Kusmi Teas have incredible flavors.

Kusmi is the finest tea in the world. I love this blend, it's delicate and flavourful. Bergamot and lemon and rich black tea. Highly recommended!

A bit pricey but I liked the flavour if not a bit subtle. I would consider giving it as a gift.

最近ハマっているフランスのクスミティー。アールグレイのバリエーションが色々に楽しめます。トワイニングのしっかりした紅茶とは別物です。優しい飲み心地でした。今や我が家の定番です。
