Kusmi Tea - English Breakfast Organic - Ceylon & Assam Black Tea - Smooth, Flavourful, Robust, Caffeinated - Loose Leaf - Tin Box of 3.5 oz

Good stuff. Earl Grey with a boost to the bergamot and a bit of lemon zest. Very nice flavor. Liked it and got a second can plus two for gifts. My sister's family likes it. The other went to a friend who reported her nephew had a cup and stated, "We've got to get some more of this!". I usually brew a kettle in the morning to drink at my desk. Sometime later in the day I use the same leaves for a second kettle - meaning I drink the same tea all day. I don't drink it every day, probably once a week or every ten days - makes for a special kettle of tea to look forward to.

This is one of my favorite Earl Grey style teas. Will absolutely keep buying it

In general I like Kusmi tea, though it is a bit pricey. Their Earl Grey is probably not my favorite Earl Grey tea, but it is solid. I like their black teas with no added flavorings the best. The tins seem to have gotten cheaper than I remember and it feels like they don't seal very well anymore. I think they used to have screw tops but now there is just a bit of a click-on type thing. For the prices they are charging, not really fair to cheap out on the storage container.

I found this a tasty blend that makes a very drinkable cup. Not “spoon stands up in it” strong, but certainly brisk and flavorful.

I have wanted to try this tea for a long time. I am v disappointed. Bland, lifeless flavour with a hideous lid that won’t stay on. You risk emptying the entire canister accidentally. Maybe that’s a good thing.

This is a fuller bodied tea, only fair in flavor, but not as typically expected from this French brand. Although this Earl Grey has a nice aroma from the bergamot peel when you first open the canister, it is not scented with bergamot enough to make a difference in the final brewed cup. It has little Earl Grey nuance: there is not much of the citrus flavor, there's no creaminess mouthfeel or vanilla scent to it, nor the floral of a heady lavender. It tastes like a subtle black Ceylon tea blend. The color is nice after a four minute brew time. I have mixed this with other teas and with lavender buds to enhance my experience. Hope the Kusmi team can update this product to match the quality of their other teas.

I absolutely love this tea, however, to get full taste from the orange peel, it needs to steep longer than the recommended 4 minutes.

This is my second favorite tea. My favorite is Kusmi’s Prince Vladimir so it really comes down to personal taste. We have been drinking it now for over 30 years and every time we try to compare another brand against it, they come up short.
