Customers say

Customers like the taste, quality and value of the tea. For example, they mention it's a very pleasant middle of the road black tea, with very little flavor lost after a second brew. That said, they appreciate the organic aspect, saying it'll make great organic tea for kombucha. That being said, opinions are mixed on aroma.

Tasteless Ceylon Black tea
Me and my wife both enjoy talking black tea at the breakfast and evening and we tried above tea but we didn’t get any tea taste. We have been using for many years loose black tea for our breakfast and have tried different brands but this was not of that standard.

This was my original review
"My dad cannot drink any other tea since he started drinking this one :)"

Update:
Last time we bought the tea it was obvious that there was more dry stems than leaves
Now we don't know if we should give it another chance or try another brand. We have been using it for the last year or so this is the first time. I am attaching a picture.
