Sainsbury's Red Label Back Tea | 160 Teabags | Fairtrade Tea from England

My British friend, who lives in England not in the U.S., suggested I try this tea if I wanted to taste a real British tea. Couldn't find this on Amazon for a while until presto! it finally showed up in one of my searches. Oh my gosh, I'm so in love with this tea, am now addicted to it!! I've tried other brands of British tea, which all were very good, but this one knocks me out of the ballpark. Very smooth, rich tasting tea that will give you that morning or afternoon jumpstart that you may need. It's also very good as an iced tea, which I drink2 pitchers a day. Hope I can always find this on Amazon, if not I'll go straight to Sainsbury's because I will be buying this tea as Edgar Allan Poe said, "forever more."

The quality is far above the other retail supermarket brands that have been around for decades/hundreds of years. Price is incredible. comes in prepackaged rounds without string/tag. Im usually not one for teabags as i prefer the larger whole leaves. But dont mind it if the taste is ok. Would be happy to pay a lot more for a quality cup of proper tea. The blend is a very traditional taste, so, other than the higher than expected quality, there should be no surprise. I find it much better than the Taylor/H, about like Fortnum and other brands that i get from the UK for a lot more cost. Brew with freshly drawn/oxygenated water, proper boil, pull out bags in 3-5 min wihtout squeezing the bag, (squeezing makes all the bitter tannins come out of leaves and also makes the tea muddy instead of the red/brown clear elegance)you’ll get a great cup.

Love the tea!

Sainsburys holds many happy memories for me. I always shopped there with my auntie and uncle in the uk. I tried this based on reviews- very nice cup of tea:)

This really is the best tea in the world. Very well balanced and good with hard water. Can't recommend more highly

Great teabags

Everyone has a different taste in tea, but Sainsbury's red label is by far my favorite. It has a softer flavor than other teas but I find it strong enough and not at all bitter, even when steeped for a good 5 minutes. I usually only steep for 2 minutes but sometimes I forget about it and it stands for longer!

simply the best
