English Tea Store Loose Leaf, Decaf Irish Breakfast Tea, 4 Ounce

It's so nice! Best one of the four I've tried from Amazon. Peppery, cardamomy, no insane jumps of allspice or cloves. Just a little cloves. It's awesome.

According to my unscientific survery, it seems that guys discover this tea in their college years and then the use drops away and it becomes a bit of a nostalgia item.I always think about it in the fall, as it recalls memories of (once upon a time) burning leaves.My first batch was purchased at a PX store at the Army War Collage while I was temporarily there to "play" WW3. This used to happen every October. We always won, sort of.Twinings bags were what I found, and I still like them the best for casual use, taking to work, etc.This tea is loose and coarse as it should be, and requires steeping to taste.Get one of those aluminum balls and one with enough space to allow for expansion. Running it through a drip tea maker will simply not do it justice. Plus the flavor will stick to the nylon mesh filter and ALL your other tea will be smokey for a while.Good aroma and nice taste. The golden color used to mean high grade leaves, or so I was told.The bag is resealable, but a nice air-tight jar may be better.I'll bet one could write a small book filled with nothing but stories of persons' first encounters with Lapsang Souchang. How may of them involved guys trying to act exotic?Have fun!

2/8/241st - I want to say I'm ecstatic I have found a DECAF Irish Breakfast loose tea for a great price. The flavor is spot on and the aroma is delightful.2nd - My only complaint is that it's finely ground like coffee not stems like I was expecting - see pictures for clarification3rd - It's so fine that it runs through my infuser straight to the bottom of my mug - I had to strain my tea through a coffee filter before I could drink it (Looks like I need to get tea bag for this ground tea as my metal infuser isn't fine enough)Knocked off 1 star for it being ground tea but Overall I am pleased with the quality was just surprised how fine it was. Will update when I get my tea bags.

This is one of the best teas if not the best one. I went to Starbucks to get a black tea, I did not have time to make my own. One of the biggest mistakes ever, their black tea was horrible, and they used tea bags. The girl had the nerve to tell me they sale it in Target. But I will be buying this Tea from Amazon until I can’t. Fell in love with Tea on Amazon😂

Irish Breakfast Tea...Loose Leaf. Uhh, not really. This is a poor substitute for loose leaf tea. I purchased 4 oz. because I needed some to last until my next big order. Never again. I always give the benefit of the doubt, but this time there is no doubt.Tea arrived perfectly packaged and labeled. Exactly as I expected. Unfortunately, that's where the good news ended. The beautiful resealable envelope contained nothing but dust. Premium teas, for which you pay a premium price, are expected to be carefully processed tea leaves. This was nothing but the dust left over from processing and packaging. These "left overs" are known as "fannings" or "tailings". They are pulverized so fine they pass through tea bags.....and of course cannot be contained in any other brewing container like a 'spoon' or 'tea ball' or mesh filter. Complete waste of time.English Tea Store: You have to do better than this. There is no excuse for selling 'fannings' as "Loose Leaf Tea". Terrible. Just terrible.

This tea looks more like coffee than it does tea. Although it tastes okay I was disappoint with the way that tea looked it almost looks like ground coffee than tea. I do drink it at night and it does not keep me up so as far as it being decaffeinated I think that part is pretty good. And it's a good value for the money.

The media could not be loaded.  First off, yes, I remember TeaLuxe Lady Londonberry tea. Sadly, that's no longer an option and finding a good Lady Londonberry can be a long slog. I've tried several, and I've got to say, this one doesn't disappoint.On first opening the bag, you'll be hit with that bright floral note, then the sweeter fruit aroma rolls out, and finally, that deep undercurrent of a good black tea meeting the air. That's what you want in a Londonberry. I immediately had to try it, and using a clear tea pot is one of the best ways to really see what you're getting.It bloomed beautifully, showing me that the tea was well made and fresh. The color is spot on (I tend to make my Londonberry a bit stronger), and the scent was everything I remembered. The whole house smelled divine. I use a touch of honey in Londonberry. No milk for this one. That tiny touch is all that's needed to fully realize the flavor in just the way I like it.The amount of tea in the bag is very generous, especially for the price, and I think I'll be leaning on this flavor quite often for this spring. This one is well worth ordering online.

I always think it is a gamble to order on line for this item, however this time around it is a very tasty cup of tea!
