Rare TeaCompany Loose Leaf Earl Grey Tea, 50 g

The only thing that's going for this tea is that it smells like real earl grey and comes in nice tin can.But all the rest is bad.The most important bit is obviously the taste and that's the worst. Because it tastes awful; like muddy water. I couldn't even finish the first cup before deciding to bin it.I have purchased bad earl grey teas in the past but they were hardly ever this bad. I think among the dozens of bad ones I have purchased to this day, this is the second worst.I would not recommend wasting your money on this.note: I never add milk into my tea. If you do, who knows, maybe you can get rid of the awful taste.

This seems a very expensive tea given that the leaves are tiny like a supermarket brand, yet I quite like the taste...Complete with caddy it's £7, so say £6 for the tea itself, but this is for a mere 50g (which only fills half the small but admitedly rather cute tin). If it was a 125g bag like our usual Tea Makers Earl Grey then it would cost £15, which is a lot!I'll still keep buying it for my afternoon cuppa, as I'm very frugal with the leaves so the price per cup for me is still low, but if you like your Earl Grey strong and use a spoonful or more at a time then you'd soon get through this...

Tin double the size of contents

I looked at lots of different types of Earl Grey tea before opting for this one. I was not disappointed. It is presented beautifully, also has a small insert inside telling you about the rare tea company and the perfect way to steep.Very happy glad I opted for this one and will look at the rare tea company again for other items.

It is now bad in any ways, quality tea, but the price suggest a premium tea and it is average at best.Also the airtight caddy is a nice touch, but it is super fiddly to actually open and close it. I find myself loosing a bit of the content when trying to pry it open and then braking my fingernails during forcing it close.

Good quality loose leaf tea and the little caddy is great to repurpose

One of the BEST Earl Grey teas I’ve had in a very long time. I’ve tasted a few and this one is up there with the best. It compares to only two other expensive ones that I’ve had in the past. Strongly recommend for all you tea lovers out there.

Beautiful taste. Some beautiful subtle flavours coming out - best Earl Grey I have had. Beautiful packaging also which looks great on my kitchen shelf.
