Ahmad Tea Special Blend Loose Leaf Tea Caddy - 17.6 Ounces of Deliciousness

Abdullah: Price is same as local Indian store. Some local store labelled higher price than amazon. We were looking for loose green tea and we found it here. Good quality. Satisfied.

Dee A: I've been using another Earl Grey brand and when I tried this tea it was very very strong. The trick I learned was to use half the tea leaves when steeping the tea and it came out perfect, identical to the other brand I'd been using. I'm happy with the flavor now, I have about four cups of this a day (that's my caffeine limit for the day - sadly.) Wish there was a decaffeinated version of this in loose leaf as well.

Steven Greenberg: Ahmad teas are popular in Ireland and the UK (and elsewhere) as an affordable way to enjoy high-quality tea. I used to drink Ahmad tea in Ireland where it was the default loose tea for many. Full-bodied, but not overpowering or bitter. The instructions recommend steeping for 5 – 10 minutes. For the canister and glass teapot I use, 9 minutes appears to be ideal for the strength desired. 1 tablespoon is sufficient to make one liter's worth of tea. For my money, Ahmad teas are the best value for good quality loose tea on the market.
NB: This tea is not organic. But in my experience, non-organic loose teas often taste better than their organic counterparts (which I try to buy when high quality ones are available).

M: Als eingefleischter Darjeeling-, Formosa Oolong- und Grünteetrinker konnte ich es mir schwerlich vorstellen, einmal einer Non-Bio Ceylon-Assam-Mischung mit einem Hauch Bergamotte mein Teetrinkerherz zu schenken, dennoch trat dies unerwartet in Form eines persischen Schwagers ein, der mich anfixte. Ich empfehle einen Selbstversuch mit dieser Teesorte, am besten mit gefiltertem Wasser. Köstlich!

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.

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.

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.

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...
