The Tea Masters Loose Leaf Tea - Breakfast Tea - Premium (1x1kg)

this is a good value for money loose leaf tea. it makes a strong and robust breakfast tea, bright with bold tannic notes. it's not astringent like teabags, but it's still very strong and goes very well with milk.i've noticed some half and quarter leaves, also known as CTCs, in the mix. some other loose teas i've bought use only the whole rolled leaves. i find this makes a brew made with these leaves ever so slightly harsher, but it's rather subtle. in fact, many people prefer that, and it's common for black teas to deliberately use CTCs. whole-rolled black teas tend to taste ever so slightly more delicate, with the flavour notes rounded off.i love the packaging, it's value for money and no-nonsense. they provide excellent information on the label, including the date packed and use by date, as well as instructions and blend descriptions! it seals well and stays airtight and doesn't let light in.loose tea tastes waaayy better than teabags, i was skeptical for a long time but it really is a dramatic difference. this brings out all the fruity and malty notes of the tea whilst retaining the bold tea and tannin base flavour. i get 2 or 3 infusions out of these leaves, with the second being slightly less bold but still very strong, and the third is very delicate and i only go for that sometimes.if you like co-op 99 tea bags, this is a very close flavour match, if you can't access co-op 99 loose tea (although i don't know how large their leaves are). i think this range of tea is good value for money, especially if you buy the 1kg bag instead of the 250g bag. no more paper or plastic waste, and it tastes much better! i highly recommend this tea if you like to drink "regular tea", aka breakfast tea, all throughout the day. it's a very easy drinking tea with a good flavour match for other popular teas.

Lovely morning tea and fast delivery

Superb tea with a nice mix of leaf size. Much cheaper to buy direct from company. This seems to be a thing these days.

Love this tea. Lovely taste will definitely be buying again. Love the leaf unfurling when brewing.

Good value, nice sized leaves ( no dust). A pleasant colour. I don't make strong tea, just one heaped spoon for 2 cups and a 4-6 minute infusion

Great flavour and doesn’t need a lot for a good strong brew.

Good quality product

I don’t drink tea so I can’t give a first hand opinion, I buy it for my parents, they enjoy a good pot of tea. For what is worth, my mother is always asking me to get her some more so I guess they like it. She says she likes the fact the leaves are big and flavoursome, instead of the very small and often broken leaves she find in other brands . She can get more pots out of it.What I like is I can get them a big bag and be done with it for a few months instead of keep buying endless little ones, which is annoying. Value for money.
