Product Description

Bold and sweetly smooth with an enlivening aroma of bergamot citrus. USDA organic. Certified kosher. Certified Organic by QAI. Ancient Tree Teas are hand harvested in a wild, organic and shade grown environment. The old tea tree forests are rich with biodiversity, fertile soil and ecological balance not typically found in cultivated tea gardens. By choosing Fair Trade Certified Ancient Tree Teas you are directly supporting a better life for Yunnan's ethic minority families through fair prices, direct trade, community development, education and environmental stewardship. The Dai, Lahu Bulang ethic minorities of Yunnan's remote mountain villages have cultivated tea for more than 1300 years, harvesting it from heirloom tea trees planted by their ancestors in 696 AD. Rishi's Ancient Tree Teas are produced exclusively by these peoples, whose economic well-being and cultural traditions are intertwined with the ancient trees.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is bar none the best!!, July 19, 2007

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.

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!

I love this tea - bold and smooth. I love the fact that you can use the tea leaves for more than one steep. It really makes it go a long way. I will be getting this again!
