Good Matcha Tea -- Great Value -- Bags are not individually wrapper
Good Matcha & Green Tea with a subtle flavor. Matcha tea can be expensive, so when we saw these tea bags, we thought we would try them since the cost was low on a per-bag basis. The quality and flavor is somewhat inferior compared to higher-cost matcha teas, but they satisfy our needs. Of course, taste and quality is subjective, so you would have to make your own determination. The round tea bags are "loose" instead of individually wrapped. This helps to lower the cost.

Flavor Name: Earl GreySize: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Review for: Organic Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea 16oz bag (1pound), bought September 2020.

The underlying black tea is a good mix of Keemun and Assam. The Keemun makes for a lighter tea that does not drown out the Bergamotte oil, or force an amount that makes the tea taste soapy. Twinings itself has replaced most of the real Bergamotte oil with extract and their website doesn't say how much real Bergamotte is left. I still like Twinings Earl Grey, it's been my family tea for more than half a century, but knowing that this organic product uses only the real thing (2% organic Bergamotte content, as per ingredient list) is an extra star in my book. The tea that arrived was super fresh with an aromatic scent (expiry date end of January 2023), which is important as the bergamotte oil fragrance and tea aroma will evaporate over time.
The taste is a delicious, light to medium strength Earl Grey, great on its own or (for lighter taste) mixed with 1/3rd Darjeeling. If you are used to soapily strong Earl Grey variants or those made with Assam alone, you may find it too light. If you like Twinings, you'll probably like it alot.

I have not been able to do a direct taste comparison side by side, as I ran out of Twinings before this arrived, but as I am sitting here, sipping a cup of the hot, dark-golden liquid with a small teaspoon of cane sugar, tasting a well balanced mix of light black tea and bergamotte oil, I am letting out a satisfied sigh. I am finding this one to be an excellent substitute.

Update 2021: Had 3 1-pound-bags of this in the meantime, and all of them were perfectly aromatic and tasty.

Preparation instructions:
Serve in thin-lipped bone-china cups of approx. 6oz size (better sensory experience than mugs for delicate teas, see image).
Use 2 tea pots and a straining sieve: one pot to steep the leaves and another to strain the brewed tea into, in order to get the leaves out before they turn bitter.

Bring 3 cups / 24 oz of water to boil, pour over 6g (0.22oz) Earl Grey tea leaves while still boiling. The leaves should float freely in a pre-warmed tea pot. For less or more tea, just multiply or divide water and tea by the same amounts.
Strain after no longer than 3 minutes of steeping through a tea-straining sieve into the serving tea pot. (I am setting a timer to 2:40 min brewing time and don't stress over 20 seconds more). When I strain the tea, I either stirr the leaves right before, or let the leaves drip from the sieve after straining, to get all the full, concentrated tea. (if you accidentally steeped it too long, you can try decanting without stirring the leaves and it might save you from a bitter experience). I drink it with a little cane sugar and a piece of bread with something sweet on it, and thereafter, my brain starts working. If you are a Trekkie and have not tried what Picard's favorite drink really is about when properly prepared, this is it. If yours is bitter, you either use too much tea or you let it steep too long.

Oh, and I never use tea bags for black tea. It is filled with the tea dust that is breaking off from the properly dried tea leaves, the leftover after the leaves have been packaged. That tends to make for an overpoweringly strong tea, plus the dust tends to seep into the tea itself. Either that or (with luxury versions=filled with proper leaves) it does not have enough room for giving off its taste. Free floating is the way to go.
If you want to avoid the garbage getting all wet, just leave the used leaves to drip and dry in the sieve over the pot you used for steeping before throwing them away.

Disclaimer: this is the first time ever I bought this product. I have picked and paid it myself and have nothing whatsoever to do with either FGO, Amazon or Twinings. This is a pure tea enthusiast's review article and I hope you enjoyed it and your tea.

I’ve waited to do a review but this tea is absolutely wonderful. It has plenty of jasmine flavor and scent. Make sure not to over brew it as that makes it bitter but that is as with any jasmine green tea. When it is brewed correctly it’s incredibly tasty. I can use 1 tbsp of pearls and brew a whole pot of tea and then I brew 3-4 more liters of tea which I then put in the fridge to drink in the coming days just from that one tablespoon. It makes incredible iced tea as well as hot. I will definitely continue to purchase this brand.

I've tried several brands of early gray tea on Amazon, and this is by far the best tea for flavor and price. I buy it through a subscription here, so I never run out. A lot of other affordable brands have a weak flavor or are not organic. To get a stronger flavor, the price goes way up. I'm so glad I found these bags. They are round and don't have a string or tag hanging off them. I typically drink one cup a day so this package lasts me about 3 months.

This product makes very good Hibiscus Tea! Compared to the Hibiscus flowers we purchased in Egypt, which were mostly uncut dried flowers, this loose tea had chopped up the flowers into very small pieces. This is not a big problem, but be aware that you will need a very fine strainer when you pour your first couple of glasses of tea.

This is perfect loose leaf green tea for the morning. The flavor is what is expected, and I like that I can mix it with other ingredients to make custom teas and flavors.

The size is great, and the bag was larger than I expected.

It does look like the price has gone up quite a bit from when I ordered it. I'm not sure it would be worth it for the current listed price, but I would buy it again if it were on sale.
