No bitterness!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Still my favorite black tea! I drink it most mornings. I can leave the tea bag in the mug. It is a strong, non-bitter black tea! I have searched and cannot find another like it. I sure did miss it when it was not available!

Tastes so good!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I purchase a lot from Republic of Tea but this is the first time I purchased Three Garden Breakfast and I love it. I have had 2 cups everyday since it arrived! It is one of my top 3 teas from Republic of Tea. It is a very satisfying tea and I can't wait to share it with family and friends.

A favorite breakfast tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

One of our favorite breakfast teas. My wife and I brew a different breakfast tea each morning. We love the taste and the aroma when brewing this tea. I just wish it would be sold in the 250 count bags.

Surprised by the flavors
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I purchased this blend when my aunt who loves breakfast teas came to visit. We both agreed that this tea is excellent. I prefer this over the English Breakfast - Three Gardens has a richer flavor that livens up well with some honey and a bit of oat milk. Will be buying more of this for sure.

Great blend of black teas
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is an interesting blend of 3 black teas. I've never tasted anything like it. It has a kind of fruity sweet aftertaste. Would recommend.

A rich, deeply flavored Black Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I liked British Breakfast tea so much that I decided to try this Three Garden Breakfast Black tea too, and found that I like this tea also. I am finding that these rich tasting black teas suit me very well. I will continue to keep it on hand to enjoy.

A great tea for any time of the day or evening.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I know this is listed as a breakfast too but honestly, since I don't tend to drink tea in the morning, so I drink coffee this is a perfect rest of the day tea for me. If the weather is cold, I'll drink it when the weather is warm I drink it iced it's perfect. Either way it just simply depends on what you serve with it. It's great with the Scotty cold. It's wonderful just by itself with some at delight fruit or a cookie or two it's great. No matter what you do with it, this is delightful and it has become a go to tea when I'm not quite sure what I want, but I need to be relaxed, calmed and alert.

A daily favorite, back on the list
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

They took this tea off of their inventory for a few years which was bad for me because it was my go-to tea. When they brought it back, I am now keeping it in the house all the time. You can't imagine how smooth this tea is. In my opinion, a better every day tea than British Breakfast. Though, I buy that one as well ;-)

Intoxicating Aroma
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

4 years ago, my boyfriend at the time bought me a tin of Mandalorian Star Wars tea. At the time, I was into Earl Grey. Lately, I needed something different and tried it again. The aroma of the Mando tea was intoxicating. It was light, refreshing, and did a great job of perking me up in the morning. Unfortunately, the Mando tea isn't sold anymore... I thought this until I saw a post on Reddit stating that the tea was being sold under a different name. It'll probably be a while until I have any other tea. Highly recommend.

Best Breakfast Tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I first had this as the Mysterious Black Tea, and my husband and I loved it so much because it's just such a delicious blend. We were heartbroken that we couldn't find it again, but then a few months ago I was so happy to see it's back! I love how smooth this tea is and that it doesn't leave a bitter or weird aftertaste. Seriously, it's so good that it's replaced my morning coffee, which I didn't think would ever happen!

three times as tasty
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I am a hardcore black tea person. Every once and awhile I can take a step slightly off my mainstays of British Breakfast or Assam Breakfast and enjoy this tea. It's slightly more floral than the others and sometimes that's just what I need. It's really delicious and still enough of my standard black breakfast style tea to make me happy.

Three Gardens Breakfast Tea - worth the wait!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea was unavailable for awhile and I missed it! It's a nice smooth breakfast blend - flavorful without being harsh or overwhelmingly strong. I drink my tea without milk and many breakfast teas seem to need the milk to smooth over the sharpness; Three Gardens is perfect just black.

Didn't know where you had gone, but I am glad you're back!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

You didn't call, you didn't write. I woke up one day and you were gone! I was devastated. We had such a good relationship going, like clockwork, every morning you would greet me and we would spend an hour together just chilling. I must tell you that I missed your taste and the warmth of your touch. And now you've returned to me, out of the cold and just in time for us to embrace in the old familiar hug. How wonderful, but please don't just leave me again without letting me know first, ok?

I've drank Republic of Tea teas for over two decades, and Three Gardens was my favorite. It was a nice treat when I wanted to enjoy a good cuppa. Now you've discontinued it? Guess you had to make room for the latest TV show tie-in, or weird trendy blend of random stuff.

I'm not good at describing tea qualities, but I know what tastes good. Three Gardens goes well with either lemon or creamer. It's not bitter like some teas, and not too fruity like so many more. Always a favorite!

JUST OKAY

I guess I'm in the minority, but I think this tea is just ok and kind of blah. It is smooth and not bitter, but it doesn't have much flavor. I like a good strong flavored tea first thing in the morning, so I will stick with Irish or English Breakfast .

Great tea, very smooth
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea is not to be missed. It's so smooth and has no traces of bitterness. Even non-tea drinkers usually love this one. It's also a great opportunity to try a blend of teas that come from outside of the "traditional" tea growing/sourcing areas of China, India, and Japan. Try it today for something different in your cup. You won't regret it.

Great tea straight or with milk
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I like British breakfast but I almost always drink it with milk. This tea is great both straight or with milk. It has a somewhat sharper flavor than British breakfast, and not as dark. If I want to drink a cup of tea without adding anything, I will probably steep this one.

This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I was predisposed to liking this newer blend, but it just doesn't work for me. I am not experienced enough to identify exactly what I don't like, but the suggestion of "floral" seems to fit. I guess a lot of people do like this tea. For me, Speedy Motors Breakfast Tea that I ordered at the same time is head and shoulders above this one.

Too floral, too sharp
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

I normally bulk order British Breakfast and Irish Breakfast teas. I saw that this was rainforest certified, and someone said it tasted like a combination or my two go-to teas. So I took them at their word, and ordered a 250-bag of this. Does it taste like English/Irish Breakfast Teas? Not really. The flavour is not as full. This is too sharp and floral....edges more toward Lady Grey. I won't say that I hate it, but I'm not a fan and it took some getting used to. I didn't realize how much I was compromising until, a few months into my stock of this, I had a cup of Irish Breakfast again and felt like my mouth was filled with comfort for the first time in ages. If you like your black tea floral, maybe this is for you. But if you're looking for a full-bodied, rich, dark breakfast tea, don't go big on this one!

Quite Mild
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

I want to like this tea, since I support Rainforest Alliance and organic products. So far the flavor is just not strong enough. I'll try brewing with two bags, since I usually brew a mug full and maybe one bag is only enough tea for 6 oz.

A new staple
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

My taste prefers black breakfast teas. A morning that doesn't start right off with a steaming mug of British, or Assam, or Ceylon Breakfast Tea -- well, I think seriously about going back to bed. So when I saw the first ad for Three Gardens Black Breakfast tea I couldn't resist. And was I impressed. Not only is it aromatic and flavorful, it has durability: I can't seem to grow tired of the stuff, and find myself brewing a mug of it mid-morning, every morning. Indeed, when the can was still half full, I ordered the 250-count bulk bag. Now that's delicious!
