This is bar none the best!!,
I love this tea! I have tried at least 40 brands of Earl Grey including British Imports, boutique tea shops, special blends, and variations on the traditional bergamot/black tea blend.
The flavor is so well balanced with a real bergamot taste. This is not the typical weak flavor in many off the shelf blends. This is the real deal and can only be compared with the best that this traditional blend has to offer.

Not my favorite but pretty good,
I drink a lot of Earl Grey tea and have tried four or five brands over the years, Bigelow being my favorite. I’ve been trying this organic Rishi tea for two weeks now and have experimented with different amounts of tea to get the flavor right and have not been able to. It is just okay for me. This tea is advertised as a bold tea and I see that many reviewers agree but I do not. If I add too much tea to try to make it stronger it adversely affects the taste unlike other loose teas I use. Also, this tea requires 1 TBL of dry tea per 8oz of water; I need to use twice that amount for it not to be weak, whereas other loose teas I use only require 1 1/2 tsp. for the same strength, so this Rishi tea would be much more expensive to use regularly. I may prepare it occasionally just to have a change once in awhile.
The packaging is beautiful. It is packed in a very nice earthy looking tin and is slender and tall so fits in the cabinet nicely. The big plus with this tea is that it’s organic.

Just plain awesome tea,
Wow! If you enjoy Earl Grey tea – this one will knock your socks off!
The fragrance will start you salivating – or running from the room, if, like my husband, you do NOT care for this flavor/scent! Once I popped open the well-sealed tin, I knew I was going to like this tea.
I use a French press to make my tea, followed the excellent instructions on the tin, and sat down to sip my way through my first cup – then another – yes, the leaves are “re-usable” for a couple of cups at least. It makes the higher price tag a little more palatable – but keep in mind this is organic and fair trade too, which always adds a little to the price tag.
It’s tea that tastes great and that you can feel good about drinking. It’s now on my “must have” list!
