The Tea Masters Loose Leaf Tea - Breakfast Tea - Premium (1x1kg)

this is a good value for money loose leaf tea. it makes a strong and robust breakfast tea, bright with bold tannic notes. it's not astringent like teabags, but it's still very strong and goes very well with milk. i've noticed some half and quarter leaves, also known as CTCs, in the mix. some other loose teas i've bought use only the whole rolled leaves. i find this makes a brew made with these leaves ever so slightly harsher, but it's rather subtle. in fact, many people prefer that, and it's common for black teas to deliberately use CTCs. whole-rolled black teas tend to taste ever so slightly more delicate, with the flavour notes rounded off. i love the packaging, it's value for money and no-nonsense. they provide excellent information on the label, including the date packed and use by date, as well as instructions and blend descriptions! it seals well and stays airtight and doesn't let light in. loose tea tastes waaayy better than teabags, i was skeptical for a long time but it really is a dramatic difference. this brings out all the fruity and malty notes of the tea whilst retaining the bold tea and tannin base flavour. i get 2 or 3 infusions out of these leaves, with the second being slightly less bold but still very strong, and the third is very delicate and i only go for that sometimes. if you like co-op 99 tea bags, this is a very close flavour match, if you can't access co-op 99 loose tea (although i don't know how large their leaves are). i think this range of tea is good value for money, especially if you buy the 1kg bag instead of the 250g bag. no more paper or plastic waste, and it tastes much better! i highly recommend this tea if you like to drink "regular tea", aka breakfast tea, all throughout the day. it's a very easy drinking tea with a good flavour match for other popular teas.

Real tea and the taste is nice at any time if the day . Have subscribed for a monthly delivery and plan to continue . Great product and service thanks 👍

High quality leaves, smooth strong flavour. Excellent. Quick delivery

I have ordered this product three time now. First order the tea was very good, strong full flavour. Second delivery not quite as good. Same flavour but not as strong and much more fine dust. Have just started the third order, and appears to be closer to the first order. Makes a good cup of tea at a reasonable comparative cost.

Good value, nice sized leaves ( no dust). A pleasant colour. I don't make strong tea, just one heaped spoon for 2 cups and a 4-6 minute infusion

Great testing tea . Will be buying again. I also bought the 2 pack tea filter which is also great.

Tastes good, but so strong, giving me terrible palpitations. I only ordered as my regular brand order (not Amazon) messed up. I’m stuck with nearly 1kg of tea I can’t drink.

Very nice flavour, which is not too strong. Would buy this again.
