Harney & Sons Organic Earl Grey Supreme Teabags, 50 Count

We received what looks like a box of tea bags that were previously opened and with messy and disorganised individual tea bags. The seal was broken and attempted to put back with double sided tape. There are missing tea bags with dusty teas, half of them packed in messy and disorganised manner.

I originally ran across this tea while traveling and really liked it. Not too dark or bitter, good aroma and flavor without being too strong. One of my favorite Earl Grey teas.

This is seriously the best Earl Grey tea ever. The flavor is so good and not bitter at all. I love using it to make milk tea I just leave a tea bag in a cup of milk overnight and it comes out amazing. Definitely buying again.

Taste is subjective: what one one person likes another may dislike. Nevertheless, Harney and Sons Earl Grey organic tea is my number one favorite tea. I learned to make a good cup of tea from the British. And, I learned that HOW one brews the tea is just as important as selecting a good quality tea. Here are some of the the most important steps in brewing a good cup of black tea or any mixture of black teas for that matter: 1. Start with a good quality tea. Choose organic teas whenever possible. Tea and coffee plants are among the most heavily sprayed crops. And, brewing such teas releases the poisons directly into your cup of tea - not good. 2. Choose a cup made of glass or ceramic. Metal cups and Styrofoam cups can negatively effect the taste of tea or coffee. 3. Choose a cup that does not have stains or scratches. Bacteria can breed in dirty or damaged cups. This is not only unhealthy but can affect the taste of tea. 4. Black teas should be brewed in boiling water in order to bring out the full flavor of the tea. 5. Never use tap water or distilled water. Chlorine from tap water will give tea a bad taste and distilled water lacks oxygen and will cause the tea to taste flat. 6. Never use reboiled water. Reboiling removes too much oxygen from the water; only boil enough water for one serving per cup. 7. Let the tea steep in the cup for a full 5 minutes. This will give the tea a rich, full bodied flavor and will release all of the nutrients of the black tea. How strong or weak you make your tea should not determined by how long you steep your tea; instead, this should be controlled by how much water you pour into your cup. 8. Never brew your cup of tea for more than five minutes. Over brewing will cause your tea to become bitter. So, enjoy your cup of Harney and Sons Earl Grey organic tea brewed and served in the style of the British.

This is an absolutely beautiful tea, a solid 5 stars. The Organic Earl Grey Supreme lives up to its name. It is wonderfully aromatic and brews a cup that is both rich and complex in flavor. What Harney & Sons gets so right here is the balance. The bergamot is distinct and fragrant but blends seamlessly with the tea, creating a smooth and sophisticated taste. It makes for a perfect London Fog, but it's also exquisite on its own. This has immediately become the gold standard for Earl Grey in our home.
