Good buy.,
Classic Assam Estate tea, malty, full-bodied, medium-strength organic black tea with a slightly sweet aroma and aftertaste (clearly a second flush offering; the first flush pickings have a Darjeeling-like astringency). Very drinkable by as is, but does very nicely with a spot of milk. I will purchase this tea again. Highly recommended.

|excellent classic Assam tea,
This is a wonderful deep-flavored classic Assam tea, and certified organic, as well. The flavor is malty and rich, with no bitterness or off-flavors. Stands up well to milk and a bit of sugar but would also be excellent without them, say, as an iced tea in summer. I am a simple tea drinker, not a gourmet expert. I simply like this tea a lot and will purchase it again.

|Purely Assam,
A good rich, malty, bready assam that can stand up to milk & sugar. As usual don’t over steep an Assam. Wonderful value for fair trade organic!

|lipton loose tea,
This loose tea is hard to find in stores, I had to order it online and discovered it’s a better tea than I usually get with an added bonus of being less expensive so I’m very pleased. I use it only for iced tea, so can’t say how it is when hot. It’s a stronger tea so I use less. I hope you continue to carry it because I plan on buying more in the future.

|It Just Takes Practice,
Okay, I didn’t read the description very well. I ordered “loose” tea on accident. By “loose” tea, I just thought it still meant it would be in a tea bag. I know, don’t make fun of me. I just didn’t read it well, and I am not an expert on tea. Being frugal like I am, I was forced to use the tea anyway. (I would still like directions on how to make it without a fancy strainer. It just went straight through my colander. hee hee) I put the recommended amount in the coffee maker and brewed it that way. It was way too strong. I was able to get three gallons of iced tea from the recommended amount for one. Anyway, after a lot of trial and error, I now have drinkable tea. Lipton has always been my favorite tea, and after I drink all of this that I purchased, I will probably stick with the loose tea. Frugality wins always…

|Great Iced tea!!!,
My family and I have been using this tea for over 40 years. I make the best unsweetened tea I’ve ever had with this tea, and get many many compliments on it. If you use good water, this tea will last for a day or two without refrigeration, which changes it’s flavor. I am in South Texas and we take our tea very seriously down here. This strong, brisk, hearty brew is just the thing on a hot summer afteroon. I haven’t experienced stained teeth or other ill effects, either. Using a drip coffee maker to brew it keeps it from overheating and getting bitter. It’s healthy, too, with plenty of antioxidants in it’s orange/black pekoe blend. If you try it and it’s too strong, tinker with your recipe. Once you get the ratio right, you’ll find it is delicious.
