Rishi Tea Earl Grey Lavender Loose Leaf Pure Black Tea - Organic with Bergamot Oil and Lavender Flowers, Energizing & Caffeinated - 16 Ounces, 50+ Servings

Geniunely one of the best teas i've ever had. Herbal teas are always hit and miss, either so overwhelming in flavour its almost suspect or as though the tea makers were entirely disinterested in their own product. Now, I buy exlusively Rishi tea. If you can muster the price, not only is their earl grey the best you can buy but the lavender earl grey is the best herbal tea I've had, just the perfect addition of lavender buds, and so easy to adjust the strength to your preference. Definitely recommended.

Rishi Tea’s Earl Grey Supreme is hands down one of the best Earl Grey teas I’ve had! The bergamot flavor is rich and citrusy without being overpowering, and the black tea base is smooth and full-bodied. Unlike some Earl Greys that taste artificial, this one has a natural, well-balanced aroma that makes every sip enjoyable.I also appreciate that Rishi uses organic ingredients and high-quality tea leaves. You can taste the difference! Perfect on its own or with a splash of milk. I highly recommend it to any Earl Grey lover!

I’ve never understood the American infatuation with tea bags. Yes, its convenient, but the tea it produces is “weak tea” indeed. While it is uniformly consistent, it is consistently bland and uninteresting. Years ago when I went to England for the first time I had my mind blown by how good the tea there was. I’ve always preferred tea and didn’t drink coffee until my first job out of college. But the tea in England had a punch to it. It tasted fantastic and there were so many varieties and flavors. And when it was all done I returned to the States and the bland conformity that is tea here. Flash forward many years and I finally had to give up on coffee and resumed drinking tea again. I decided to get an English-style electric tea kettle and set about exploring loose leaf teas and preparing it like the English do. All of which led me to Rishi and there absolutely fantastic array of loose-leaf teas. I already knew I loved Earl Grey and the idea of mixing in lavender intrigued me. And let me just say, it’s a match made in heaven.If you’re a tea lover like me, then you will love the creamy rich flavor profile of Rishi’s Earl Grey Lavender. I take my tea with sweetener but no cream or lemon and the creaminess of the taste is absolutely delightful, satisfying, and long-lasting on the palate. Indeed, cream is unnecessary with Earl Grey Lavender. Lemon would be an offense. It doesn’t pack the strong punch of Irish Breakfast tea but is more of a smooth refined way to ease into the morning or a mellow end to the afternoon. Our local grocery chain used to carry it in the smaller tin (now redesigned in the paper container) but discontinued it. Thankfully Amazon has it in the much larger pouch with a re-sealable airlock to keep it fresh. I’ve tried many of the various Rishi flavors but this is by far my favorite. If you’re trying loose leaf teas then Earl Grey Lavender is a great place to start!

I have been drinking this tea for over 10 years after first buying it at Whole Foods. They discontinued it years ago but I have been able to buy it in bulk on Amazon. The flavor has been consistent over all of that time. As someone who is not a coffee drinker, this tea packs a lot of caffeine for that morning boost but also a lot of flavor. I recently switched from brewing it with a basket to using fill-them-yourself tea bags and found that the flavor was not as intense and I had to use more tea. The problem with basket immersion is disposing of the waste. I found that when I cleaned the basket it was staining our stainless steel sink. How you brew tea can make a big difference in the taste! I will seek better solutions than the bags (or better bags).My problem is that my wife loves the ice tea this tea makes and has become very spoiled. Every guest we have served it to loves it as well. We are going through a ton of this tea and the price has gone up over 50% in the past few years. I will continue drinking this tea in the morning but will be trying other cheaper teas to make our ice tea.

I take peppermint tea to alleviate RLS and I like green tea for its benefits, so this interested me. I can see the quality of the tea in how “clean” it is and it steeps beautifully. The combo of tastes took a day or two to appreciate. I think someone reviewed it saying it had a chocolate like aroma/taste but I didn’t get that. It’s more a little smokey to me. I will be buying it again.

I alternate between Rishi Tea’s China Breakfast and English Breakfast. Both are good quality and taste great. I drink it straight but it would probably do well with milk and/or sugar/honey. It’s also quite economical. Highly recommend!

My favorite every morning tea!

This is the best tea I’ve ever tasted. I’m now addicted to it. It’s so good. It should be against the law.
