Black ahmad tea

Outstanding breakfast tea. Full body… great flavor.Can see why it is a favorite in the UK.Will not disappoint serious tea drinkers.

That's my favotie tea. Classic and rich flavor. A typical British 5 o'clock tea. I recommend it to all tea lovers.

Love it

I’ve been meaning to try Ahmad’s English Tea No. 1 for a while and the tea itself did not disappoint. This is a flavorful, reasonably robust, and relaxing tea that I think works well as an afternoon or evening cuppa. It is a blend of Ceylon, Kenyan, and Assam, though the latter is less evident. There is also bergamot, but it is just a touch, much less than the Ahmad Earl Gray variants. In fact, it’s so little bergamot that I’m not sure I would have been able to identify it as such if I didn’t know it was included in the blend.It brews a dark cup with a dry, earthy aroma and a hint of citrus from the bergamot. Taken straight, it is full bodied, crisp, and bright with fairly low astringency. It isn’t particularly strong but neither is it an overly gentle tea. I find it well balanced. The bergamot mostly registers as brightness, with a light and rather pleasant citrus finish. It takes milk very well, resulting in a richer cup that tastes like a particularly bright English Breakfast blend with a subtle floral essence. It also makes very nice iced tea and cold brewing brings out a bit more of the bergamot. I prefer this tea in the afternoon but I think it could also work in the morning for those who aren’t AM Assam groupies.My only real issue is the packaging. Considering how good Ahmad’s loose leaf teas usually are and how they seem to largely cater to tea drinkers from the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I am at a loss as to why they use American style tea bags. Personally I hate these. I hate the stupid string and staple. But mostly I hate that you only get 2 grams of tea instead of the UK or middle eastern standard 3 grams. If you are used to British teabags or you brew your loose tea strong, you may find this tea too weak simply due to the missing gram of tea. I recommend using 5, yes 5, teabags when brewing a pot if you are a regular tea drinker. If brewing in a mug, (my regular one holds around 12 oz), one teabag can stretch enough but you will want to leave it for a good 8 minutes or so. As much as I like the tea, and to be sure it is way better than teas in these bags at American supermarkets, this packaging will probably prevent it from being a regular for me. I may seek out the loose leaf version of this instead.

I’m a long time tea drinker. Tried over 30 brands. Ahmad beats so many expensive ones. Robust flavor, great clear color, fragrant and strong. Love it!
