The Tea MastersLoose 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.

We decided to try tea leaves and we found that tea leaves gave us a better taste.We buy the Tea Master tea at first because you can buy it in large quantities and the English breakfast tea is not too strong.This is very good and I can recommend.

Superb tea with a nice mix of leaf size. Much cheaper to buy direct from company. This seems to be a thing these days.

I don’t drink tea so I can’t give a first hand opinion, I buy it for my parents, they enjoy a good pot of tea. For what is worth, my mother is always asking me to get her some more so I guess they like it. She says she likes the fact the leaves are big and flavoursome, instead of the very small and often broken leaves she find in other brands . She can get more pots out of it.What I like is I can get them a big bag and be done with it for a few months instead of keep buying endless little ones, which is annoying. Value for money.

I was really impressed by the taste of this tea, which has a rich, deep flavour from start to finish. I shall be buying it again!

Having spent some time researching a replacement for the Huffkins large leaf tea, as it is quite expensive and they have reduced their online discount, I decided to try this tea. The reviews were positive and at less than half the price of the Huffkins tea offered a substantial saving.Taste is of course subjective. To me. this tea tasted better than the Huffkins; stronger and quite different, which to my taste buds was more enjoyable. I have a single person tea pot (Chatsford) and 1.5 teaspoons of this tea provides a perfect large mug of tea. This is a great large leaf tea - no dust issues - and exceedingly good value. I highly recommend this tea for those who prefer a stronger taste and colour over what might be expected from a breakfast tea.

We've been buying this for a couple of years now. It's a mix of rolled leaves and some round bits (tiny little balls of tea, not sure what the proper name is) but no dust like you find in some of the cheap stuff.Tastes great, nice and strong.

This is a large-leaf, full-bodied, malty, Assam-y tea. It makes an excellent strong tasty cup. What it does not have, as some other reviewers have noted, are the more ‘floral’ or ‘top end’ notes that a breakfast tea might have. But is there a strict definition of what a ‘breakfast tea’ should taste like ? If you like an Assam tea this is one for you. I was going to mark it down a star re. the floral / top-end stuff, but after another cup I think this is worth the 5-stars for what it is. I have the best part of a kilo to go and I am happy with that !
