rdnk.ak: Great price for a decent product. It ain't no Lipton! But it has a decent flavor, far superior to many other bargain brands.

mitch marvel: I bought these and the green tea bags on a special offer from Amazon, even though I don't know much about brewing tea from bags: water temperature, time steeping, number of bags... it's just so much easier using K-cups. I usually brew 20 ounces on a K-cup: 14 ounces, and then 6 ounces on the same cup. Most K-cup teas I've used are good for a second immediate use of the same cup without loss of flavor.
I tried brewing the tea bags with the K-cup machine, putting the bags in the mug and using the machine without for hot water only (no K-cup). Results were mixed: too weak or too strong; I never got the consistent results I got with K-cups, but that is my fault, not the tea.
Then, I tried a different approach: I put a tea bag or two in the empty mug and a K-cup in the machine and let the K-cup tea drip into the mug. It takes about 4-5 minutes for it to run through a 14 ounce and 6 ounce setting, which is about the right amount of time to steep the tea bags in the mug. Then I stir the tea/tea bags and remove the bag(s). The green tea and the black tea bags alter the flavor, subtly, but not in a bad way. I only use one tea bag, now, which is a good flavor...

Cameron Lowe: Not the best tea, not the worst. Watch the steeping time. Any longer than two minutes and you might as well be drinking coffee, it gets so bitter. If it's your cheapest option, it's totally fine.

JimCan: I got this looking for an alternative to Yorkshire Black; as it becomes a dense, waaay overly-rich tea. Most store-brand teas are really lacking.

This 365 is pretty much like a retail tea for me. Flavor does not come easily; you gotta work pretty hard to get it to perk up beyond the colored-water stage. I had one other English tea, Yorkshire recently, but the bags were too large for the strength of the tea—way too much for a cuppa. Just for a test, I bought my first box of Red Rose in a decade. (4-5 cups a day are my norm) Surprisingly, it was neither as weak as I remembered nor that much different than this 365. Like the choice of desirable eye color or body shape of a prospective mate, we each have a personal opinion. Cheers!

Kayla Kluke: Flavor! in the past I'd drink black tea with sugar and milk, because it was so bland on its own, But not this brand! very smooth rich tea, drinking this black tea black, its aroma and taste, beautiful. Thank you.

AYA ELA: I got this organic black tea couple months ago, it tastes really good but the flavor is not really strong like other brands. But overall it's good tea.

LD: These are black teabags (like Red Rose or Tetley) but a much better for you and the environment because it is an organic brand. There are 70 tea bags in the box, so it is a very good value for the money. The bags are wrapped inside (I think in 7 sections, 10 bags each (?) didn't count exact amount...but the good feature of this is it keeps the remaining bags fresh after you open the box. The downside of this- it makes for a lot of packaging. ( one could just open a box and transfer everything into an air tight container) But the feature of separate packaging did prove handy when I want to take some teabags to work/travel. I do not find this black tea to have a super strong flavour. I have been putting 2 bags in a big mug for 5 minutes and it does not become bitter. If you like a mild black tea taste, one bag will do.

Artur: I'm used to drinking Red Rose so to me this tea is delicate. This tea does have some bitterness and for some reason I thought I tasted a hint of Bergamot (Artificial or Not). Organic certification is a positive. Easy on the stomach because it's smooth and mild. Red Rose is better with food though.

Samantha: I bought this tea to brew kombucha.
It works amazing for that!
I have also resorted to drinking it when I run out of green tea.
I drink my tea black (No milk or sugar) and am not normally a fan of black tea.
I see reviews saying this tea might not be full bodied, maybe that's why I enjoy it so much?
I find it tastes fresher to me than most of the black teas I've tried.
I bought an organic black tea from the grocery store previous to this to try with kombucha and it had a very chemically taste...
This tastes natural and bitter to me. I love it :)
