Wagh Bakri Black Premium Loose Tea From Assam Special International Blend (1 pound)

I'm an enthusiastic tea drinker for decades. I've bought easily 2 dozen types: black, green, pekoe, blends, chais, etc. This time I wanted a powdered-type tea so I could mix my own varieties. To that end I bought this wonderful tea. This tea looks more the size, shape and colour of poppy seeds and the wonderful fragrance...heaven! The flavour...perfect just as it is or mixed in with various things I have on hand. Great flavour! As much as I love ice tea mixes - I do like a well brewed with honey, and lemon, so I bought this fantastic tea and will add powdered lemon juice and a touch of honey. That way I'm not consuming so much sugar. For the pre-made ice tea mixes I've bought and really like, it was a balancing act of getting my caffeine first thing in the morning so I made it with many spoonfuls making it too sugary, or one spoonful in a large mug lessening the sugar as well as the lemony tang but the flavour of the tea is watered down. I learned to make a really strong sugary and highly caffeinated for the first mug of the day and then a watered down version for the rest of the day. Now I can have the balance I really want! This tea is fresh, fragrant ,and flavourful. I highly recommend this brand and this type of tea. It's awesome!

Quality Indian tea, characterized by rich flavor, strong aroma and deep color.

Excellent

This tea's cut is medium fine, not powdery. It makes a delicious cup when using quality water (I use rain water as our tap water is medium hard). The aroma of the five minuted steeped brew is exactly like when Sweet Corn is in bloom. Pretty aroma. Tannin level is not too high so it doesn't make my stomach turn if I drink it on an empty stomach. I always drink tea black and this Indian tea makes a great hot beverage winter and summer.

Not like Lipton or other American teas...much better..
