BJ: I did not realize just how big this tin was going to be, or at least I expected it to be half the size it was when it arrived. It is PACKED full of tea too. If you're worried you won't get your money's worth, I can assure you that you will. The value for the price is very high.
I bought a tin of the Ahmad Cardamom and a tin of their Earl Grey. Compare the cost of this to a 4 oz package of Zest high caffeine loose leaf tea ($20) to this ($14, and $11 for the same size 17.6 oz tin of Ahmad Earl Grey). I realize these aren't extra caffeinated like Zest, but is the Zest worth the price you pay for it? If you're trying to save money on energy drinks, yes. But if you're just looking for a standard cup of tea, no. The Zest Earl Grey doesn't even taste like Earl Grey; it's nasty, so I have to buy their Blue Lady and Apple Cinnamon flavors instead.
Even for a daily tea drinker like me, I think it would take close to a year (maybe longer) to go through a tin of this stuff. I use a Wirsh single cup tea/coffee that I bought here on Amazon (I don't mess with tea balls anymore, because they still leak to some degree unlike the fine mesh strainer in the tea maker). I bought a tin...

Zombywoof: I have had Gunpowder tea for many years - when I can find it. I am so often told be "tea people" like Wittards that there is no call for it. Well, I want it. And have had to resort to small independent tea dealers in the past.
To be honest, I hadn't thought of Amazon which is odd as I seem to get just about everything else I need especially oddity buys from Amazon since 2002!
So I ordered this.
I was delighted with the size of pack [500g] but the taste test was key. And I was not disappointed. A subtle flavour, light in colour and with also a light aroma. Not as "grassy" as Green Gunpowder can be. A great find and a taste to relish. Be warned though and do not put too much in the pot and def do not let it stew!.
I have found that one teaspoon per cup is sufficient and if drained down to the leaves can be refreshed and a second cup from the leaves can be had.
Great delivery, superb price and highly recommended.

Jay Aich: I have been buying Earl Grey for years, and in many different countries. This by far the best I've ever had. To begin, the tea is fresh, and even when steeping for hours, it never becomes astringent (of course, both of these things should be expected with Earl Grey). However, what makes this blend stand out is the bergamot, which is full and rounded, but gentle. It's perfect. I'd pay twice the price, and in fact I have for inferior blends. Beyond highly recommended.

Mike Fasnacht: Been ordering this tea for almost a year now, just started on I think my 4th tin of it. Very good flavor, I use 1 tablespoon of tea for 8oz of water at 200 degrees, and steep for 4 minutes, then mix it with 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of milk, and I love the flavor. Helps me start each day with a sharp mind and a relaxed attitude.
The only complaint I have is near the bottom of each tin the tea leaves start to be more like dust like you'd find in a low-quality tea bag. There is probably not much they can do about it, but I tend to have to shake the basket steeper over the trashcan for a minute or so while my water boils to get rid of the dust so it doesn't slip out of the steeper and into my tea.

とうふフリーク: 値段の割に、味が良いです。50gで数千円するシングルオリジンの紅茶も飲みますが、この値段でこの味なら、十分合格点だと思います。ミルクティーで飲んでもストレートで飲んでも両方いけます。ほのかに柑橘系の香りがします。イングリッシュブレックファーストティーなので、ベーコンエッグやトーストと合わせて飲むと、ブレンダーの狙った美味しさが分かると思います。

Diane Rogers, Syd and Diane's: If you are a tea drinker, this is simply the best. I was buying Ceylon and English Breakfast as well as the Special Blend at the local market. I wanted to try others as the ones mentioned are excellent. I ordered Jasmine as well as Paradise. Neither disappointed! They are excellent. From the time you open the bag to the first sip, you will not regret your purchase! They smell and taste so good. Ones to savor. Plus the packaging is beautiful as well!!! Thanks Ahmad Tea!!!

Asian American History Buff: I am very new to British Teas, but read good reviews on the Ahmed Brand of Teas, so I thought I'd try this Earl Gray Tea, and also the Special Blend too (I don't know why, but the Special Blend REVIEW keeps bringing up the Earl Gray REVIEW, so I'm combining both of them into one Review), and was very pleased with everything about both Ahmad Teas. The Color, Aroma, Taste, Flavor, and the After Effects, were all what I was hoping for, and got!!! The Ahmad Earl Gray Aromatic Tea was Very BOLD, in both Color and Taste, and what I was expecting, looking for, and got!!. BTW, the Bergamont Citrus infused into Earl Gray Tea, has the SAME Rx Drug EFFECT as METFORMIN, which is the First Line Rx Drug of CHOICE for Treating Type-2 Diabetes, AND/OR Obisity, associated with METABOLIC SYNDROME, so Drinking Earl Gray Aromatic Tea is actually GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH, if you have these Metabolic Syndrome Issues to Deal With, and THAT is what I am doing about MINE!!! -- I give this Ahmad Brand Earl Gray Aromatic Tea, a 5-Star Rating, and am Very Pleased with it. (updated, 9-25-2023 -- has become my "Go To" Assam Style Black Tea of Choice!! updated 10-28-2023 -- Ahmed Tea EARL GRAY Aromatic is ON SALE...

Vattier: Ne trouvant plus ma marque habituelle et l’ayant goûté en sachet à l.hôtel, je l’ai commandé en ayant un peu peur… et je suis très agréablement surprise ! Seul bémol, il faut en commander 2 paquets… un peu beaucoup. Dommage. Si non, je le trouve même plus parfumé que ma marque habituelle.

Psychopastry: Hard to get good green tea where we live but I've had some success on Amazon, this is the third brand I've bought and I'm pleased to say this will be the one I stick with. Lovely stuff by itself or with plenty of mint & sugar in the Moroccan style. Not the cheapest on here but certainly worth paying a little more for the quality.
