Review: A good cupper in the morning or anytime - I have been ordering this tea for more than a year now. We are big tea drinkers and consider us a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to tea taste. This black tea has a wonderful aroma. We drink it every morning sometimes with cream sometimes without. So far I have more than 10 lb of it. The honey colored tea in your cup is a great tasting tea especially since it is offered for a reasonable price per pound. We used to order Ostfriesen tea from Germany but it is becoming rare to find and very price. This tea matches up to the Ostfriesen tea very well.
Review: Excellent loose tea! - I usually stick with straight orthodox Assam, tippy whole leaf, best I can find in volume, for the least I can pay. Took a chance on this Ahmad Imperial, as I’m not averse to a little bergamot. I’ll even drink a solid earl grey if someone else makes it, but just prefer a straight Assam for my high volume all day tea drinking. This is a real winner! It’s predominantly a mix of Darjeeling and Assam as advertised, with just a slight hint of bergamot. If there was any less bergamot I would not taste it at all. Very subtle there. The leaves are quite whole, at least the shippers did not smash my box this time, and it’s just a really fine looking and tasting leaf structure and blend, especially for what appears to be a great regular price. Under, or even around, a dollar an ounce is a good deal for this. It’s straight enough to where I’ll probably just drink through this for a week or so before going back to my regs. Maybe I’m a bit tea high at the moment, but having just opened the bright red box around Christmas kinda just tickled my good cheer. The tea is a winner. Frankly Ahmad is 100% so far for my whole leaf purchases. Many pounds bought and consumed!! I’m now feeling inclined to try another loose black of theirs that I would normally not think of buying.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is OPA?**
A: Orange Pekoe A - the largest leafed grade. Orange does not refer to the flavor. I bought this tea after hiking the tea plantations in Sri Lanka and tasting the different grades. This one tests very good and full flavored to me. We were told that the larger the leaf, the better, which is why you buy loose leaf tea.  Tea bags have a lot of tiny pieces.

**Q: Can this be used for kombuca? Is it flavored? Does it contain caffine?**
A: Yes, it can be used for kombucha. No, it isn’t flavored. Yes, it contains caffeine.
For kombucha, avoid Earl Grey because it has bergamot oil in it, which can harm the bacteria. Avoid any other teas with flavoring for the same reason.

**Q: What is the date of the manufacture on the tea?**
A: I usually order more of this tea before I run out, so I usually have a full box on hand before I use up the currently open box. It looks like the last time I ordered any was in December 2018. The date range on that box is 5/3/2019-5/3/2022. So the last box I got was dated (had an expiration date) of several months (to several months and 3 years, if that can be
believed) later.

**Q: Is the opa (considered) better than the regular Ceylon or just different? How so?**
A: OPA is large leaf Ceylon tea, the regular consists of smaller cut leaf. I like them both equally.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MY SPECIAL ME TEA
*by M***M on October 25, 2025*

Goodness! I LOVE THIS TEA It is a beautifully fragrant bold and sophisticated tea. It is my “Special” tea! You can smell the sweetness of the Orange Blossoms as soon as you open it. The Bergamot does not overwhelm or over power them, yet it stays present. The tea gets plenty strong and has a good caffeine hit, so I have learned not to drink it past a certain time of day, but that is my personal preference. I adore the Tin it comes in and the tea inside is sealed in a bag, which I put in a ziplock bag once opened because it cannot be sealed, itself, and then back into the tin. I want to be able to continue to appreciate the special Beauty of this tea, package and all! This is a tea I will GLADLY spend up for, over and over again!
