The Tao of Tea Blue Flower Earl Grey, 1-Pounds

I have not tried any other chai teas, so I feel a bit biased here. But I enjoy this flavor! It's really smooth to me and I have to hold myself back from drinking a lot because it seems to disappear super fast, even though I'm the only one who drinks it in my house. One minute the container is full, and then I blink and it's almost empty! I will eventually try other chai teas, and I'm not an expert. I will say that I agree with another review that was on here. To avoid it being bitter, take 1 1/2 cups and boil it with the tea in there (I have tea infusers) for 3 minutes I believe, take the tea out, then put 1/3 cup of milk (I do 1/2 cup at times) then let that boil for 2 minutes and drink it! I have boiled it with the tea, then put cold milk in so I can drink it faster, but I've also steeped it and it is a bit more bitter but I still enjoy it.

This tea is my new found favorite. Taste amazing.

One of the best Chai tea mixes I have tried. It reminds me some of the Maharaja Chai mix from Teavana. Flavorful and aromatic.Please be aware that you need a tea maker/strainer with this as it is loose and not in bags.

First off, I am a long-time Earl Grey fanatic. I drink more EG than anything else. I have had what I consider to be the perfect Earl Grey and have since found myself ever-searching for another. This one isn't it -- but it's pretty darn good, IMO -- among the best, out of some 20+ brands I've tried over the years. When you open the pouch, you notice two things right away -- a fresh black tea with gorgeous blue cornflowers and tiny gold cornflower ribbons -- and a strong, heady bergamot scent. The bergamot smells like it's sourced from a top quality oil (this tea is organic), clearly not artificial in any way -- and they are certainly generous in its use in this tea, to the point of being just a tad sharp tot he nose. Happily, that sharpness mellows considerably and translates brilliantly in the cup/glass, into a well-balanced but definitely bergamot-forward EG. For the price, this is a very good tea that I think will please even the more discriminating EG fan. I would rate this a solid 4. By comparison, I'd give Talyor's of Harrogate a 3.5 (good quality tea, but not enough bergamot IMO), Twining's a 3.5 (good standby, but unspectacular), and Adagio Earl Grey Bravo a 4.5 (closest thing I've found to my EG holy grail). My perfect, most unforgettable Earl Grey was by Dammann Tea, many years ago. This one, while not being all that close, is very good indeed.

In Sept of 2013 I tried this tea and wrote the words below - WHICH NO LONGER APPLY:"If you want a nice, malty, tasty, smooth tea - and you can spring for the cost, I found this tea worth the price. For a less expensive alternative, try the High Elevation Assam (which is all too often "out of stock" - maybe because it's such a good buy). I've also tried the so-called "black tips Assam" - but found that full of twigs and with an annoying smokey flavor."Having just finished my initial bag of tea THIS morning, I just opened the new bag that came a few weeks ago:IT IS NOT THE SAME TEA!!! It has many twigs in it! It smells different. And it tastes more like scented coffee than Assam tea. Ugh!For the price, it's a complete rip-off and I intend to email Amazon and return the two bags of tea they recently sent me. (As well as to cancel any further shipments.)What a shame! Too many merchants today are cutting corners and imagine the consumer won't notice. This is really annoying. For two reasons. The switch to bad tea for so much money. And the fact that I need to go through the annoyance of returning it.Save your money! So annoying!

Simply the best assam tea you will find on Amazon. It’s so wonderful. Many of their teas are special but this one is worth every penny!

The best Assam tea available. Strong, bold flavor. Repeat purchaser that thoroughly enjoys the service and the product

It should be mixed with a lot of spices including cardamon pods with a black tea base. This is heavy on the tea and not much else.
