English Tea StoreLoose Leaf, Blue Eyes Herbal Tea Pouches - 4oz, 4 Ounce

Lavender packaged nicely and very fresh - buds were surprising in tact and not destroyed during transit. Taste wonderful in tea - would buy again!

This tea is smooth and flavorful. I think it's my new favorite!

I have some loose leaf blood orange tea that I bought in a specialty shop. It's delicious. I was hoping that the English Tea Store tea would be as good. It's not. It's slightly bitter, brews a weaker tea using the same measure that I always use, & has less flavor overall. The price is fine, & the tea came in a foil-lined paper pouch that will properly store the tea. But the product disappoints.Update: I wondered if the bitterness was coming from the orange peel that flavors the tea, or if changing the brewing method could improve the flavor. So I started with filtered water, & heated it to simmering instead of a full boil. I brewed for 3 minutes, as I usually do. I let the tea cool at room temperature, then put in the refrigerator. The result was a delicious iced tea, not bitter at all. I haven't tried it hot, but I'm pleased to report that it makes a great glass of iced tea. I've changed my rating to reflect this.

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.

This is a review for English Tea Store Loose Leaf, Versailles Lavender Earl Grey Tea, 4 Ounce.I am a tea connoisseur and brew a pot of black tea in the morning and a pot of herbal/white tea in the afternoon for over a decade. I enjoy trying new teas and look forward to favorite stand-bys and I absolutely adore the whole loose leaf tea process: opening the bag/tin and inhaling the aroma, placing the dried leaves in the strainer for the pot, assessing the color as I pour it into the cup, adding milk and sugar to my black teas. (And, yes, I even enjoy seeing the spent leaves in the compost pile)I burned myself out on Earl Grey a couple of years ago and only recently have returned to brewing it in the morning. I've always like lavender Earl Grey and purchased from this vendor because the price was reasonable. I rarely write reviews, especially negative reviews. I like to encourage vendors with positivity and just "move-on" from a product I didn't like. Unfortunately, this tea was so bad I had to leave a warning.I brewed a pot yesterday morning and wasn't impressed but thought I messed up and left the strainer in the pot too long (I'm fully capable of ignoring a timer and "chasing a squirrel") so I brewed another pot this morning. I tried to gag my way through 2 cups before tossing the rest of the pot. The aroma is wonderful ... But the taste! The brew was *extremely* bitter at 4 minutes. The bergamont flavor tastes like it came from rotten citrus fruit. I had to use 4x the sweetener to make 1 cup palatable; I still have a burning sensation in the back of my throat (which I had yesterday as well). I'm chewing antacids trying to escape the backwash ...It may be related to the changes in taste/smell that some have had with Covid-19 and/or the vaccine. I'm willing to say that. I will be scrubbing my pot tonight and cleansing with a baking soda/vinegar wash. I really really wanted to like this tea ... I'm so disappointed.

Good tea, good alternative to a caffeine black tea

I wasn't that happy with this tea. It is a lot weaker that I expected and the flavor is a bit like dish water for me. I bought it because it's organic but it is not strong enough for me.

My mom likes all the loose teas that comes in a tin. We do like this one has good flavor but the bag rips and all over the kitchen counter
