My go to tea for enrichment day.
This is a delicious, beautiful tea to drink. It has the scent and burgemot flavor, just like Earl Gray tea. It’s really robust in flavor and great for after dinner or anytime tea. Best to drink without milk or sugar. Anyone can try it with milk and sugar and I might try it myself. The value for money spent is perfect and aroma and color is nice dark rich flavor; not strong like other teas. I like it a lot. Overall, definitely five stars for Ahmad Tea English in my taste.

Teabags have no microplastics
We’ve purchased Ahmad teas for over 20 years. This is a hiqh-quality black tea with smooth, robust flavor. Best part is that the tea bags contain no microplastics ! (according to their website) Excellent price for this brand.

One of the best breakfast teas!
Love love this tea with all my heart! Great value for money and lovely caffeine content. The aroma and taste is unlike any other mainstream teas you find in the stores. I’ve been using these for my breakfast caffeine. Just lovely! The teas also lasts because I had a box from a family reunion I forgot about for a year, I tried them and loved it that I had to get more. Just wanted to put that there.

Very good tea taste
Enough for a cup of tea. Strong enough with good taste.

A very flavorful and relaxing tea; would be better in British style teabags
I’ve been meaning to try Ahmad’s English Tea No. 1 for a while and the tea itself did not disappoint. This is a flavorful, reasonably robust, and relaxing tea that I think works well as an afternoon or evening cuppa. It is a blend of Ceylon, Kenyan, and Assam, though the latter is less evident. There is also bergamot, but it is just a touch, much less than the Ahmad Earl Gray variants. In fact, it’s so little bergamot that I’m not sure I would have been able to identify it as such if I didn’t know it was included in the blend.It brews a dark cup with a dry, earthy aroma and a hint of citrus from the bergamot. Taken straight, it is full bodied, crisp, and bright with fairly low astringency. It isn’t particularly strong but neither is it an overly gentle tea. I find it well balanced. The bergamot mostly registers as brightness, with a light and rather pleasant citrus finish. It takes milk very well, resulting in a richer cup that tastes like a particularly bright English Breakfast blend with a subtle floral essence. It also makes very nice iced tea and cold brewing brings out a bit more of the bergamot. I prefer this tea in the afternoon but I think it could also work in the morning for those who aren’t AM Assam groupies.My only real issue is the packaging. Considering how good Ahmad’s loose leaf teas usually are and how they seem to largely cater to tea drinkers from the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I am at a loss as to why they use American style tea bags. Personally I hate these. I hate the stupid string and staple. But mostly I hate that you only get 2 grams of tea instead of the UK or middle eastern standard 3 grams. If you are used to British teabags or you brew your loose tea strong, you may find this tea too weak simply due to the missing gram of tea. I recommend using 5, yes 5, teabags when brewing a pot if you are a regular tea drinker. If brewing in a mug, (my regular one holds around 12 oz), one teabag can stretch enough but you will want to leave it for a good 8 minutes or so. As much as I like the tea, and to be sure it is way better than teas in these bags at American supermarkets, this packaging will probably prevent it from being a regular for me. I may seek out the loose leaf version of this instead.

Tasty tea.
I was introduced to this product through my dentist. I had a tooth pulled and they gave me a couple bags to bite for a couple days after. They said it helped – maybe stop the bleeding {?} or help the gum heal. Anyway I liked the tea so much I wanted to keep it on hand just for drinking. It is refreshing.
