Persian Choice Earl Grey

Quality Earl Gray. Smells great, tastes great. I was apprehensive when somebody gave me a box as a gift, because 12 oz is a lot of tea for one person! Wish they would sell it in smaller amounts. But I got through the box over time and now I'm buying it for myself.

Has a unique scent and taste. While the flavor is unique, the taste profile does not divert too far off traditional Persian tea. Will definitely buy more in the near future.

Don’t let the low price fool you. This is among the best earl grey teas I’ve found (and I’ve tried dozens). It’s big on flavor both from the large leaves as well as the bergamot oil. I’m a huge fan. The absurdly low price for a massive 12 ounces of this premium quality tea is hard to believe but it’s legit!

the best loose-leaf elgrey tea to buy unfortunatly not available any more

EDIT 10/2020: I still like this tea, however less so than before. It has artificial flavorings, and I'm noticing them more and more as I drink the tea. One review below compares it to drinking tea with soap. While I won't go that far, I can see where they're coming from. The artificial flavor is strong enough to remind you of that sort of thing. It's still a good tea though, and a great value. But I won't be buying it again once I'm done with this bag. The novelty has worn off. I'm torn between ratings here. First thing's first: if you're a fan of Earl Grey, this is nothing new. It's an intensely-scented Earl Grey with a nice taste. There are a million of those out there, so in that sense, this is nothing special. I know that the box says it won an award, but really if you're a tea fan, you've tasted this before. What separates this from the pack is that it's a wonderful value. This is full-leaf tea and the leaves are very large. You also get a LOT of tea. For $14 you get a 12oz bag, which pretty much shames many of the "premium" tea brands out there who don't give you nearly as much with leaves that are smaller. But that also leads me to probably my only gripe - the packaging. It's a foil bag in a cardboard box with no way to reseal it. So you will have to transfer this to another container to preserve the freshness, or close the bag really carefully. I would've preferred a foil zip pouch instead. That aside, this does make a good cup of tea. A heaping teaspoon of this, plus a pinch of rose petals (or a touch of rosewater) and 2-3 crushed cardamom pods makes a lovely, sweet, unique cup to enjoy. It will make an impression on anyone you serve it to.

It's very flavorouse, beautiful aroma, good quality, however, very expensive and hopping to reduce the price for this tea so we can afford contine buying it.

I have been drinking this tea every morning for over 25 years. I used to buy it from Alvin, the founder of Alvin's Coffees and Teas, in his shops on Irving Street in San Francisco. A good man. A good tea.
