PSA*** the international version of this tea is NOT the same as the UK version. I will rate based on the UK version.
An excellent, strong, rich, full-bodied tea. There’s a reason it has become the UK’s most popular tea. There are many UK sites that sell it. You don’t need to steep this for very long to get a truly excellent cup of tea. I would definitely take this tea with milk.
NB The version sold in Australia (and likely elsewhere) is packed in the UAE from an entirely different blend of black teas. The company is quite transparent about this – they’ve claimed “regional tastes” and also environmental issues re transporting African tea to the UK then to Australia. Whatever the reason, it sadly results in an inferior and much weaker tea than the original.
Flavors: Malt, Round, Tea
I had no idea the UK version was different! I’m always surprised when international tea people aren’t a fan… that makes so much sense!!
I can’t tell you how disappointed I was! I’ve since ordered the proper stuff from the UK but the shipping is so slow.
