| Love this tea - long time drinker | April 27, 2013 | |
| I find this tea very robust and flavorful - perfect for breakfast. I've tried other breakfast teas and haven't found one that measures up. I like it with some sort of sweetener - sugar or splenda ( I know you probably don't approve) and silk soy milk creamer, which I don't really use for anything else - just seems to enhance the flavor. I've been drinking this for breakfast for 10 years or so and order it in the 1 lb bag. Believe it or not, my second favorite breakfast tea is Starbuck's Awake which will do in a pinch. |
| Nice for a change | January 26, 2013 | |
| A nice cup with a pleasant smokiness - like a very mild, accessible version of Lapsang Souchong. I like it for a change of pace, though it will never be my daily breakfast tea. |
| The Burgundy of Black Tea | December 06, 2012 | |
| This tea is extremely smooth and very different from all other varieties of black tea. With the first sip, it brings a smile to my face and with the long and smooth finish, the unique, luscious flavor lingers like the setting sun...beautiful in all ways. Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy over and over again. Simply the best! |
| Great Tea for breakfast | August 18, 2012 | |
| Wonderful bold but smooth tea for breakfast. It's been my breakfast beverage of choice for 6 or 7 years now. So glad that I can get it in bulk. Love it - thanks! |
| The perfect black tea | May 21, 2012 | |
| I have tasted black teas from around the world and have always preferred the smoothness of Chinese Keemun, particularly when contrasted with the astringency typical of most Indian teas. This tea, blended with a a bit of Oolong really is perfect any time. I prefer mine steeped for just 2.5 - 3 minutes. |
| great tea | April 11, 2012 | |
| I love this tea..So I ordered the pound bag, but I think what I ordered is a little different that the tin can I first purchase. The pound seems a little bitter, but I still really love it...Truly republic has the best teas I have ever had |
| No More Coffee | April 10, 2012 | |
| I switched from coffee to this tea 15 years ago after I found that coffee aggravated a chronic pain condition. I wanted a tea that had body but no astringency, which I find unpleasant. This tea is full-flavored, with a very pleasant floral/chocolate nose, but it isn't sweet in itself. I've tried many others because sometimes ADB is hard to get here, but none live up to this standard. For me, it's the most civilized way to start the day. |

| I love oolong and thought this was mostly oolong, however the black tea with the touch of oolong was quite good. |
| Perfect! | December 09, 2011 | |
| I love oolong tea, but usually find the flavor a bit weak for morning. This blend is the perfect solution! |
| What a surprise! | November 11, 2011 | |
