Zarrin Pure Ceylon Tea, Orange Pekoe A, 1LB (454g)

I love iced tea. I drink iced tea daily. Normally I use tea bags from one of the big tea bag manufacturers. Lipton, Salada, Red Rose etc. Usually Lipton. This has always been fine. However, my teen son has recently been learning about microplastics and urged me to stop using tea bags. (Look up tea bags and microplastics.) I reluctantly agreed and started searching for loose orange pekoe or black tea. I happened upon this ^ company on Amazon and the reviews seemed good so I gave it a try. I am so glad I did. This stuff makes some of the best iced tea I've ever had. First off the leaves are whole so its not some ground up mystery powder found in tea bags. Its a dense bag of dried tea leaves! It looks great. Smells delicious. Despite being a long time tea drinker, I am a bit of a tea novice. I've been limited to commercial tea bags, however the difference, to me, is huge. It's hard to describe. I mean, it tastes like the tea I normally drink, but way better. Fresher. Smoother. Less bitter. Without that teabag taste. It's like I can differentiate the different flavors and aromas better. They're more present. It is much better than tea bags. I'll never go back. I purchased one of those big tea brewing cans with all the holes so no microplastics. Pour into a glass pitcher then into a glass cup. I've already made it through most of the bag, I'm ordering another pound of this tea right after I right this review. Long story short, this tea is far better than any teabags I've tried.

Love it the tea happy to finde it in Amazon

My go-to bulk bag of loose leaf black tea had started to show up with fillers or stems in it. The whole reason I love loose leaf tea over bagged, is because it’s less likely to have fillers. So that wasn’t acceptable. I decided to give this tea a try instead, and upon opening the box I am so pleased. The tea looks beautiful and high quality for the price. It brewed into a delicious cup of tea, and I noticed there was no sediment in the bottom of my tea infuser. My only complaint is that the box and the bag inside are weak material and cannot be resealed, so I’m going to need to purchase a tea tin large enough to hold a pound of tea. But I will, because I’m likely going to get this tea again.

Great quality product. A medium flavored tea, no bitter aftertaste

I am on a quest to find a really good tea and this came the closest. I just ordered five different Ceylon teas from Amazon (one seller included a free sample, so it makes six) and did a side by side tasting. This one is hands down the best tea and it is the finest I had in awhile. It is not shreds, but full leaf tea. Brews great, unfurls, makes a great cup. Nice color of the brew as well. Really, checks all the columns. Very-very slightly bitter, but I prefer it this way. I am soooo happy to have found this (completely new for me) brand. And the price is fantastic too. The only minus is that the package is flimsy and the bag is so full, that I will have to put it into a different airtight container. But this is really minor in my opinion. Highly recommend, top marks. Edit: By trial and error I discovered that if you brew this tea for a slightly longer time, the results are even better. Instead of standard 3 minutes try 4.5 or even 5 minutes. The resulting taste is more rounded and better balanced. Probably because it is full leaf (extraordinary rarity our days) it takes longer to fully release the flavor. Love, love, love this tea!
