Positively Tea, Organic English Breakfast Black Tea, Loose Leaf, 16 Ounce

Very nice rich tasting tea. I recommend this tea!

I use this for making Kombucha and will continue to do so. Tastes great with a nice aroma and clean organic ingredients. I haven't tried other flavors of Positively Tea because I usually stick with what I like, but they are reasonably priced for organic tea.

Love this tea. Great flavor and aroma. My standard tea for iced tea now.

There are few things I love more than my morning tea! I'll even go so far as to say -- in the winter, good English Breakfast tea is essential to my survival! Recently, I became concerned with the waste associated with using teabags everyday. Furthermore, there is some real concern about the chemicals contained in the bags, not to mention the tea leaves themselves. I used to be a loyal Bigelow's customer, but their inconsistent answers about the source of their tea leaves has left me searching elsewhere. Positively Tea's English Breakfast tea is everything I was looking for -- and then some! Not just a certified organic loose leaf tea at a fantastic cost, but also a brilliant, robust, full-bodied taste! It's by far the best tea I've tasted. And a treat for the whole family every time it's made! The 1 lb version comes in a handy resealable plastic bag. We pour about 30 teaspoons into a smaller container for every day use, and storage the bag in the cabinet. Upon opening, you are hit by the bright aroma of the leaves and realize, "This is what tea is supposed to smell like!" The leaves have been dried in excellent, full-leaf quality. There are very few broken leaves, so there is a minimal amount of tea "dust" left in your cup. We use one teaspoon in a 20-oz teapot and brew for 3-5 minutes. You can fluctuate the amount slightly for the strength you desire. We tend to brew lighter in the afternoon to drink plain and then brew a stronger strength after dinner to drink with a spot of milk (and perhaps a bit of sweets!). With quality like this product, I am happy to continue to support this company and will extend the recommendation to my fellow tea-drinkers. Keep up the fantastic work, Positively Tea!

Great full-bodied English Breakfast tea. No discernible bitterness. Full-bodied with good medium malty flavor and an earthy finish. Not as malty as the Assam, but darker and slightly more tannic. Not as full-bodied as the Irish Breakfast. My recommendation for brewing (I like my tea strong and full-bodied with a bit of sweetener and milk, Indian or English style): 1 level teaspoon per 8 fl oz of filtered water that has been brought JUST to the boil. Put into a large brewing vessel like the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker http://www.amazon.com/Teavana-PerfecTea-Tea-Maker-16oz/dp/B004X7DIHI/ Steep no longer than 3 minutes and dispense into a big mug that has been warmed. Add milk and sweetener to taste - a great way to start any day! :-) Some people like to use less tea and brew for a longer time, but this will make fore a much more bitter and less flavorful cup of tea

worked great. would buy again

Positively’s English Breakfast is the most delicious breakfast tea! I’m a hard core black tea drinker, and this one gives me so much pleasure to drink. I usually use milk and honey in my tea, but occasionally I have this without anything, just to fully enjoy the lovely flavor. And- important to me- it’s Organic so I’m avoiding the high degree of pesticides usually sprayed on non organic teas. I highly recommend!!

This is great, high quality tea at every turn. Only Spice and Tea Exchange is better quality, but you pay way more there. Quality difference is marginal
