Harney & SonsEarl Grey Loose Tea 16 Ounce – Black Tea with Bergamot

I love earl grey, but most of the cheaper brands give me serious sinus problems. This tea does not, higher quality ingredients for the win.

I've tried numerous brands of Earl Grey, and Harney's is the best. Fragrant and rich. I've ordered several pound bags through the last couple years, and every one was fresh. Yes, it is pricey. But it is delicious and nothing like Twinings, Lipton, Bigelow, Tazo, etc... Be careful to get the basic Earl. Any other word added to the title like "Supreme" will disappoint you if you are a purist and not a fan of vanilla. Basic Earl is unsullied and worth every penny.

This is highly quality tea!

The tea has a rich black tea flavor, but it is bit bitter, especially if over-seeped. It is ground up reasonably fine, which often conceals stems, and full stems are also visible. The quality is a noticeable cut below some of the best earl grays that I’ve had where they painstakingly separate stems and leave full leaves curled up but intact. However those teas tend to be 3-4x more expensive. So if your looking for a value Earl and are careful to stop seeping at 3-5 min this is OK and will be a cut above most pre-bagged tea.

That’s our favorite Earl Gray tea.

This tea is nice, however it's way too expensive. nice quality loose tea is available for $7-10, but this one is unreasonably expensive. I would be OK FOR $15/POUND
