Russian Royal Tea Delux - Loose 250g

Great

Amazing deep flavor, yet not harsh. A friend made me a cup of this Russian Tea and I am hooked. It's fantastic. I'd say a strong morning tea but I would drink it anytime.

A delicious loose tea suitable for brewing by the pot. Has a very full, rich taste with an extra nuance similar to Earl Grey but that's not it. At first I thought I caught a slight hint of vanilla but now don't think that is it either. The best thing about this tea is that even though it has a hearty flavor, is definitely not mild, it does not become bitter, even if forgotten and steeps to long. The tea leaves are large, as large as cilantro leaves, after the tea has steeped. You can make it by the single cup using a little one or two cup pot. But a typical tea ball will not hold the puffed leaves and stems, even for a single cup. If you have a larger tea ball or a very small strainer and pour your boiling water through it, that would work. One reviewer said they thought the box was "ugly". On the contrary, I think it to be quite attractive with Czar Nicholas on one side and Czarina Alexandra on the other. I put the foil pack on tea leave into a zip lock plastic bag, keep it in the box and enjoy looking at it.The tea arrived very promptly, in 5 or 6 days, and the U.S. postal service delivered it on a Sunday. I thought perhaps I had signed up for Amazon Prime without knowing it but checked and I had not. I want to contact European Importing Co in Sacramento Ca to see if they have any similar teas to try. Som reviewers called it pricey but it cost around $11 for an 8 oz box and with shipping came to about $18. How many times could I go to Starbuck's for that price? Maybe four. I know I'll enjoy many more cups of tea for that amount money and you're not going to get anything as good at a restaurant or coffeeshop. I highly recommend if you're used to brewing tea in a pot without tea bags.

Tastes likes absolute crap no flavor no nothing horrible that it can’t be returned false advertising false promise never buy again

Great evening tea...a little goes a long way

This specific tea, very delicious & take me back to old days, & relax me for hours, all the time i buy more than one & pass it to my friends as a gift & all of them loved it.

I would recommend

One of the best Earl Greys on the market, if you are a tea drinker. I tried many British, Turkish, Asian and other varieties, but of all like the most this Tzar.
