Special Blend

I am quite the tea connoisseur and in all honesty this brand is one of the smoothest and best tasting teas I have purchased in a long time. The flavor is subtle, not too strong & not too faint. The price was very fair for such a high quality loose tea. I highly recommend ALL their different teas as I have purchased many different kinds & I have the same opinion on them all. A++ Ahmad 😊✅ PS: The tin container it came in is just beautiful and the tea is sealed in an elegant airtight gold foil pouch. I sound like I own or work for the company (which I do NOT) but I tend to be critical on tea, so when I found this particular brand and was so pleased I had to let people know my genuine opinion on it.

I have always loved drinking Iced tea. The only tea that I ever used was Luzianne, Lipton, or store brand tea bags. I would use an extra bag to make it stronger and unsweetened. However, I never liked drinking any tea when it was hot, even though I would drink a lot of coffee. Hot tea always seemed very bitter to me with a bad after taste, and I didn't want to have to add things to my tea, to cover up the bad taste so it would be drinkable. So, I quit even trying to drink hot tea for the past 50 years. That is until now. I really like this tea. I drink at least 2 or 3 cups of hot tea every day, and I make iced tea to drink with my meals. I put the tea into one of my tea infusers and use my Ninja Coffee Bar for my hot water. I use water that has been filtered in a Brita pitcher for my Ninja coffee machine. For my hot or Iced cuppa tea, I use 1-1/2 teaspoons of this tea, for 12 oz. of hot water, and steep for 7 minutes. I have large mugs. For my 18 oz. multi-serve I use 2-1/2 teaspoons and steep for 7 minutes. For my pitcher of iced tea, I use 8 teaspoons of tea, for 62 oz. of hot water, (My Ninja measurements are 1-50 oz pitcher and 1-12 oz cup for 62oz into a 64 oz half gallon pitcher), and steep for 10 minutes, before putting the pitcher in the refrigerator. This info maybe a good starting point for some but use the amounts that taste good for you. I love the aroma and taste of this tea so much that it will be hard for me to even try another tea. I read many reviews of different teas, and this tea seemed to have the best overall reviews to me. There is nothing overpowering the great flavors, and if you want a little milk, lemon, sugar, honey, or etc. in your tea, you will be adding it to a great tasting tea to enhance the flavor to your liking, not to be covering up a bad after taste. ENJOY!

Way underpriced for the value. Wonderful tea. Well balanced bergamot, not overpowering like other brands. Like to steep it for 7 mins then add milk and sugar.

I took a chance on a new tea provider (for me). What arrived was a canister the size of a boutique tissue box, with a sealed bag inside. Once I was over the shock of the amount of tea, I had just purchased, I carefully opened the bag & a rather strong tea smell hit me. It wasn't unpleasant. It's just been a while since I've had a nice, strong black tea. This is day 3 of drinking this and I am enamoured of the wonderful flavor. It is a beautiful dark with just a hint of the lemony-orange flavor that comes with bergamot. Even my family likes it, and that's saying a lot, since they tend to prefer coffee. I am now curious about Ahmad's other flavors, as this one is now a staple in our house. Elegantly simple, it will go with so many things. Definitely buying this again.

I had the pleasure of working with Ahmad Tea during my time at Euromonitor International, a research consulting firm based in the UK, and became very familiar with the company, their products, and their values. Founded in the 1980s, Ahmad Tea has stayed true to its mission over the years. They offer a wide range of teas, both in teabags and loose-leaf blends, and I especially enjoy their variety of blends. No matter your taste, you’ll find something that suits you in their extensive collection—whether you prefer brewing your tea (like I do) or need a convenient teabag on the go. We started offering brewed tea at our showroom just over a year ago, and our customers absolutely love it. When they hear we serve Persian tea with Nabaat (caramelized sugar with saffron), some even drop by just to have a cup and chat. My mother always made her own tea blends, saying you need one for the color, one for the taste, and one for the aroma. Her teas were legendary. While I never quite mastered that skill, I now rely on Ahmad Tea’s special blends both at home and in the showroom, and I’m hooked. It’s the perfect balance of aroma, taste, and color—just as my mother always insisted. Koorosh

Had trouble deciding between a straight black tea and an Earl Grey. Then I saw this blend of black tea and a little of the bergamot that characterizes the Earl Greys. Just perfect. I really like the fact that I can get a good caffeine jolt with 2 or 3 grams of leaves, and later reuse them twice and get the same flavor but with very little caffeine. If I ever really need more, I've got a little bottle of caffeine tablets. ALSO JUST tried their GUNPOWDER SUPREME green tea. Don't think I've ever had a green tea, so I can't compare to others, but it's a very nice, gentle and relaxing tea. The 'GUNPOWDER' name doesn't refer to taste or effect, but the fact that the leaves are rolled up tightly into little balls that relax into larger leaf pieces during brewing. The purpose of that was to prolong freshness - before rapid transportation - by protecting most of each leaf from the air.

This is a nice blend. I prefer dark bold teas over fruity teas so this is my kind of tea. The teas from this company are always fresh and the amount received for the price is great. I drink a lot of tea and this is an economical way to get great tasting tea. I would like an option of ordering the tea without the tin. I have been purchasing this brand of teas in various flavors (earl grey, paradise blend, black and others) for years and i don’t need more tins and hate to throw them away!

it the best tea) i like it

I love this delicious tea. Please never stop making it because other big brand tea tastes really unpleasant co pared to this type. I would never buy any other brand now.

Wonderful and complex flavour. A great tea.

The tea brews well and tastes good.

Tè nero special blend di alta qualità, molto aromatico e saporito nonostante il costo davvero onesto. Non è amaro, io lo bevo senza dolcificarlo. L'ho ricomprato per la terza volta.
