Scottish Breakfast Black Tea Individually Wrapped Bags, 50 Count (Pack of 1), Strong, Malty and Full, Caffeinated, Enjoy Hot or Iced, 50 Teabags

5 Star Earl Gray Tea! Wonderfully smooth and not bitter. Taylor’s is my go to brand. Excellent teas and reasonably priced. TERRIBLE Packaging. The box was delivered in a poly mailer and arrived crushed with a hole in it. This is the 2nd box of tea I received that was crushed. I called Amazon and they refunded my money. When customers request “Hide what’s Inside” they expect workers to have enough common sense to determine bag or box. Free Shipping isn’t really free. Box and bag fees and postage are co-mingled in the price of the product. 5 Star Review for this Tea and customer service refunding my money & Zero for Amazon shipping warehouse. The tea is fine. I requested a refund (like I should’ve on The $27 box of Boston Harbor Tea) but I decided I will not accept anymore products that arrive in a condition that is unacceptable. I don’t purchase damaged goods at the store so why should I accept them from Amazon due to poor packaging.

For everyone out there who is thinking about trying this particular Assam tea produced and sold by Harrogate, please read what I have written here and lose any qualms you may have. This is a terrific tea for all day long. I've been buying this Harrogate Assam tea for years. Even though I only recently started buying it from Amazon, I've bought 11 boxes and am about to buy 6 more today. I find that selecting this tea for my early morning teatime is best, but there really isn't a bad time for this blend of Assam tea. To answer the question of aroma. I find a subtle aroma with this tea, once in a while. Indian and Ceylon teas are my favorites, and I've drunk them for 60 years. Generally, I've found black teas have a somewhat earthy, but extremely lovely taste to them. The lack of aroma with Assam tea from Harrogate in the reviews is not something that speaks to freshness, in my opinion. Assam tea simply has a subtle aroma, sometimes leading me to believe there is no aroma. In my experience, the tea aroma and the taste for these teas might be dependent on the time of the season it is harvested, the company selling the tea, the company's blending of the tea during production and perhaps, other lesser important issues that I can't speak to. I know that this particular Assam blend of tea from Harrogate has been one of the best black teas I've ever had. Don't hesitate to try other teas from Harrogate. I regularly buy their Ceylon teas, too, but recently, I've bought Assam tea to drink most of the time. And, for those people with imperfectly shipped boxes, I have received tea boxes like that, too. I'm asking you if because some packer or shipper made a mistake, crunched your box so it didn't arrive in pristine condition, did a crunched box affect those absolutely perfect cups of tea that the box contained? Don't think so. Enjoy the tea inside and let it calm you, as it does me. Try this one when you are stressed, you will concentrate on the tea, not the stress, I promise you. Best, Ken

Received this today and for the first time ever I'm reviewing it within an hour of using it. I like this tea. Been doing my homework on tea and found that they are not all created equal so bought this one to see how different it was from the Darjeeling tea I have been buying at the grocery store. This one is now my favorite Darjeeling because it taste fantastic, smooth and good. It cost more than the grocery store brands but this one, I think, actually has some tea leaves in it. Glad I found it.

Pretty decent. Smooth with a decent amount of flavor. Doesn’t taste like decaf.

I seriously love this tea so much that I can't go a day without it. If you like a robust black tea, this is it--makes other black teas seem so weak.

These are not individual bags. The box has twin sets without the dipping strings. For the price difference and the enviroment I'm perfectly fine with trimming my bags and removing them with a spoon. The tea is simply superior in flavour, aroma and colour.

A very good tea. I like my tea strong and I get that with this tea.

The tea itself is good. The black tea flavor is stronger than other brands and sometimes overpowers the bergamot flavor on the tongue, but you can definitely smell the bergamot. I have ordered this twice, and even though I like the minimal packaging, it is not sturdy enough for Amazon delivery. Both packages arrived damaged. It is better to buy it in store.
