VAHDAMAssam CTC Black Tea Loose Leaf 340g (170+ Cups) - STRONG, BOLD & RICH Pure Assam Chai Tea | Vacuum Sealed

The media could not be loaded. I like the zip lock bag although it can get messy when you are nearing to the bottom and have only few spoons left.It has a beautiful colour and great taste. Nice quality.I know the whole matcha ceremony prep and the utensils used but I usually go very modern way slaughtering the beautiful tradition and zen - I put a teaspoon in with hot water and cold coconut milk and spoon of honey and blend in vitamix for a few seconds so it’s nice and frothy.Creating matcha cappuccino style.

The first time I tried this, I used the recommended 1 tsp in a mug of warm almond milk. It was a bit overwhelming and gritty, so the second time I made sure it was a flat/level teaspoon (and not a heaping teaspoon), and it was much nicer. The third time I added it to the almond milk when I was heating it in the saucepan, and stirred it with a whisk. I also added just a drop of maple syrup (less than half a teaspoon). For me, that did the trick. Now I'm hooked on this as both a morning and evening drink. I tried another brand (that came in sachets) which tasted absolutely disgusting and artificial. This Vahdam powder tastes WAY better and is way more value for money. I will definitely buy more.

This listing contains a lot of different teas, and I am reviewing the Daily Assam Summer Black Tea, 454 grams.I used Yorkshire Tea bags for years, but want to switch to loose, as creates less waste: tea bags contain plastic, so cannot be composted whole. I am not a tea connoiseur, I just want a decent strength cuppa..I bought this and T2 English Breakfast loose tea, which is horrible, very weak and poor quality. Buying this larger amount works out a bit cheaper per 100 gram than the English Breakfast, and while I would not call this a premium rate tea, it's got decent flavour and strength. I would not exactly call it "strong, malty and rich" either, but it's drinkable, if you use enough.Leaves are a decent size, you can see actual leaves, not the crumbs of the English Breakfast, and while this does contain some stalks or woody bits, not nearly as much. 3rd pic is magnified x 2.Using 2 heaped teaspoons per cup (and maybe at least one for the pot if you're making a larger amount) and brewing for about 4 - 5 minutes gives me a tea approaching the strength of 1 red Yorkshire Tea bag per cup. But definitely not stronger or better flavour than good tea bags, even the pyramid shaped ones give a comparable (and slightly stronger) tea. So it's not "builder's tea" at that amount, but a medium strong tea, and flavour I rated 4 stars - it's decent for this price, but could be better.I drink tea quite strong, but not really strong, with milk, not loads, but more than a splash, and no sugar. This would also work black, maybe better than with milk, due to seeming on mild side for an Assam.If I can find nothing better, I might buy this again, but am hoping to find something that's better than tea bags, without paying the earth.I wish I had bought loose Yorkshire Gold - similar price at £9.99 for 250 grams, and I suspect, gives a stronger and more flavourful brew.. if that proves to be the case, I won't be buying this again. I will likely mix this with a stronger tea, to use it up.Bear in mind, too, that this is quite a big bag (454 gram), so if like me, you're not hugely impressed, you'll be drinking this for a while, unless you consume a LOT of tea.Now having bought 2 loose teas, I am a bit more convinced by Yorkshire Tea's claim to blend the finest teas for their bags. I imagine cost is also a factor, but maybe the sort of tea a lot of people drink in UK is not actually what you normally get from any single type (like Assam) tea, but requires a blend for strength and flavour?

I am not a herbal tea fan however I am sold on this one. I love it. I drink it each day for it's antiinflammatory properties but during the daytime as I found it was keeping me awake at night. Perhaps it's the ginger that acts as a stimulant. It's a good quality product. 5 stars from me 👍

I got this using hubby's prime account, I'm actually surprised I didn't get a telling off for spending so much on tea. But saying that I'm sure he will be so pleased to know that this was actually a very good buy.I have been an avid herbal tea drinker for years. Ginger is one of my usual but twinnings and the rest of them don't seem to hit you the same way as freshly boiled ginger tea does. But in order to get the true benefits you have to boil it on the hob for quite some time.I use a persian recipe with tumeric and cinnamon and the thing has to simmer for 30 minutes. So I wait a very long time for my 150ml of tea 🙄. But I like it so much I do it anyway.Having become so sick of this process and wanting to drink my ginger and tumeric tea more often through out the day, I decided I would try this fancy fancy tea. After reading the reviews I was convinced this could be a decent tea and the fact that Oprah has it, well how could I not try it! I will be honest I didn't hold a lot of high hopes for IT, as at the end of the day it's dried down ginger and dried tumeric. But it has pleasantly surprised me, to the point that I will not be returning to twinnings and their fancy cheap offers at the supermarket.The ginger has a nice kick and the tumeric comes out. I'm pretty sure there will be no hope left for my teeth to ever be white, as I'll be drinking this regularly along side my morning black coffee!The packaging made it decadent and knowing that it was harvested in November this year made me know for sure how fresh it was.I don't give reviews as a regular thing but I honestly felt like this deserved it!I did add a tsp of buckwheat honey into mine but I regretted it straight after as it took away the taste of the ginger. And it's got a natural sweetness already.This will become a regular tea for me, I will now have to arrange my finances to suit my new fancy tea lifestyle.But joking aside it is something that's worth it. And I really want to try the rose black tea blend one but I'm going to hold myself back and finish at least a box in my tea cupboard before I go crazy shopping.

I discovered this tea from a selection of bags in an advent calendar and was really pleased to find it available as loose tea. It's a tea that I find great before bedtime to help ,e get to sleep.

Tried to Darjeeling version & it tastes amazing! We can tell the difference & our guests also ask what kind of tea this is.Persians are very picky with their black tea, as we don’t add milk to mask the taste, so it has to be good on its own & this one really is.Amazing & thoughtful packaging.I wish it wasn’t as expensive so we could solely get this brand but I also believe it’s worth it for hardcores tea lovers! 1 tea spoon per person is enough for a 200ml glass of tea.

I used this to make milk tea because I read that Assam Black Tea is the best tea to use for milk tea. This tea came packaged really nicely and the tea leaves were vacuum-packed to ensure freshness. It also came with another bag and a sticker which I thought was extra fancy. I liked the taste and it did make a pretty good milk tea. I don't really have any complaints. It also doesn't take a lot to make one cup of tea so I like that this will last me a good amount of time. It's kind of pricey, but I would say it's worth it.

Me gustó mucho

This tea has a delicate flavor, a subtle presence, and a faint floral aroma. I find it very calming and refreshing. Buying more today!

Pricey, but my favorite tea on the planet.
