Mighty Leaf Loose Leaf Organic Breakfast Tea, 1 lb Pouch, Caffeinated Black Tea, Enjoy Hot or Iced, Perfect Plain or Sweetened, Ideal for Tea Infusers

I'm a tea snob- I only drink loose leaf, and almost exclusively black tea, if possible, so I really appreciate the quality vs cost ratio with this produce. The flavor and the price rate a B+ for me.

I absolutely love this brand of tea. Great quality tea. Great savings being able to buy the loose leaf bags as opposed to the already done teabags. We drink this tea every morning, even in the summer. In the summer, we simply brew a cup the night before so the honey dissolves completely and then store it in the refrigerator so it is perfectly iced in the morning.The only complaint I have is the loose leaf bags I previously purchased came with a scoop. This bag had no scoop (same issue I recently encountered with another flavor of loose leaf tea by this brand). I don't know if including the scoop was discontinued, if so it is a bit disappointing but good thing I saved a previous scoop! Given the lack of a scoop is the only complaint I have, still felt this product deserved 5 stars.

Not as flavorful as other English Breakfast teas I’ve had. I won’t purchase this again. But I do like some other teas from this brand.

Finally found a robust, full-flavored English Breakfast tea!. I brew loose tea in a teapot at home (for the best flavor of all) and save the teabags for when I travel. The used leaves are great compost or a mulch for my rose bushes. And no waste added to the earth with tea bag tags and sachets!

I can’t lie… I am a bit disappointed in how many stems , utterly flavorless (mildly bitter sometimes though these aren’t bad) stems, I keep finding in my tea. I usually make 20oz (the size of my tumbler) with 16oz water I boil, pour over the leaves to steep, stir around (when I see an abundance of stems float around as the leaves sink), then pour over half a cup of milk for my preferred 4:1 ratio… other brands I can use (for fairly strong tea) 3 heaping teaspoons of. This requires 4 teaspoons and is still milder even with long steep times-just less tea being steeped and a mellow tea in general. Now it makes sense why their bags have more tea than other brands yet never taste strong… it isn’t just a more mellow tea, it is a tea that on top of NOT being whole leaves (at least the funky plastic bags [that leave weird sediment in my tea, maybe the string or maybe the plastic particles dissolving some with the near boiling temp water black teas call for ] and this 1 pound bag am a third of the way through) happens to have a heck of a lot of stems in them…I brew it in a thick glass measuring cup so it will pour smoothly, and even using a third more tea, my tea is much lighter in color than other brands, fainter in flavor, etc… in other words, consider this a bag of 12 ounces of actual mellow tea leaves and 4 ounces of flavorless filler.It still, though, has a fantastic almost floral scent from the tea and bergamot-I guess it must not be the typical Assam and Darjeeling blends that bring a strong black tea with more fruity notes like most Earl Grey teas… doesn’t quite seem like a pure Ceylon, either, so I can only assume it is an eastern Asian blend. It resembles a couple of mellow Taiwanese and one Chinese tea that (a bit unusually for that purveyor) was oxidized fully. Who can really say, though?I am still looking for my perfect strong, amped up bergamot, ideally fairly long (5:45-6:00) steep time suitable EG. This is for when I want the distinct aroma that draws me, even with my complaints, to this tea, costly as it becomes (so I get it when it costs about thirty a pound which is still much cheaper than bagged teas but pretty costly for bulk purchases) for a functional 10-12oz equivalent to most pounds. When I want more straightforward traditional EG, JusTea and Rishi are pretty solid and have unique profiles and unfurl beautifully as they steep (Rishi, which is probably the most consistent in terms of delivering whole tea leaves, has a stronger black tea base for people who want a dark rich tea with bergamot, the Kenyan black tea of JusTea different but still delightful even if the actual tea is a bit more mellow and it becomes more costly most of the time than the other two widely available teas). The Kenyan is one I often open a container and throw in vanilla beans (insides scraped and swirled around to try scenting the whole canister or bag, the typical 1.5-2cm pod halves tucked into different spots). Nothing has fully replaced my two long term loves that both folded, Zhena’s and Modern Steep (originally Remedy Teas)… but as of now, JusTea, Mighty Leaf, and my strong bagged tea for when I want something mid-day but don’t have easy access to my gear, Tazo EG, are serving my needs okay enough. It is a pity Numi became so weak on the bergamot end after several years of the aged bergamot really making a great cup. It is just too plain anymore, but I won’t turn it down when a restaurant has it (though a few others of theirs are still great).Maybe Peet’s buying them out has made them cut corners that included buy8ng tea that is a lower grade with more stems and chopped leaves, dunno. I didn’t, because of the cost, drink the bagged tea very often but enjoyed it, funky sediment aside, even though I was still using 3 bags for 14-16oz of tea (pretty hefty cost for 55-65c bags compared to others). I hope they will take some care to stop being so twiggy. Twig teas are for people who DON’T want much caffeine and want a very light flavor comparably (and they are from far less oxidized teas to begin with and totally different regions of tea than blacks come from)… I still love the scent of this-it is a very different, less fruity, more floral/complex fragrance than most traditional EG teas. It just isn’t a great value and can’t really compare strength wise to most others. At least it (and the others) take quite a long time to get bitter, so it isn’t so bad if I am running a bit behind and accidentally leave it longer than ideal.

As good as this tea is, be cautious about having very much before bedtime!

Organically grown tea is always expensive but this tea is worth it. Nice strong brew will wake you in the morning. Good taste that satisfies the taste buds.

I LOVE Mighty Leaf tea. I ordered 2 - 1 pound bags of Organic Breakfast tea by mistake and I can't return them!! They are unopened, perfect bags of tea. I am stuck with them and I don't like this flavor to Mighty Leaf tea. I just sucks.
