Rishi Earl Grey (50 ct) | Energizing Black Tea Blend, Bergamot Essential Oil, Sustainable, 50 Servings

This is the tea I’ve been searching for. None of the other 8 brands (grocery store and specialty teas) were strong enough. This is smooth, dark with a great bergamot punch. I just bought my 3rd box of 50 bag box. Have had no bag blowouts, individual packing in plastic foil to keep bags fresh. It’s more expensive per bag, but worth it. Proper tea making requires boiling water, not hot water, but actually boiling water poured over the bag in a cup, and steep for 3-5 minutes. Yum!

I first had this tea at a restaurant in town a few months ago. They served this exact packaging-and when I tore it open I was hit with the most aromatic scent of bergamot. I have had a ton of different brands and styles of earl grey tea throughout the years. From cheap bagged teas to fancy loose tea from fancy shops in the UK. And this brand has them beat! Like I said, when I opened the package you could immediately smell the distinct fragrant bergamot that earl grey is known for. The steep is 5 min. and produces a lovely colored elixir. I take mine with raw sugar and milk, but have had it sans milk, as well. I am pleased with both ways. I always take sugar in my tea but am sure with such a high quality tea--and organic, to boot-- i would enjoy it just the same. I have noticed this same brand of tea in my local Whole Foods but have been hesitant to buy because im not sure if its the same. Call me crazy, but I don't mind paying extra for the individually wrapped bags. It guarantees a fresh, fragrant tea bag every time! I highly recommend this tea! *UPDATE* 2/2/18 I am still enjoying this lovely tea! My husband has given up coffee and now exclusively drinks this earl grey tea. He loves it! I did actually buy the boxes of rishi tea from the store and they, too are individually wrapped (although with just a green overwrap) and taste the same. The bags you buy in bulk (50 bag count) come in the black wrapper (which esthetically I prefer- the back of the black ones also have info about the origin, steep temp/time and caffeine level which is very handy! The boxes (15 count) also contain that info FYI I am actually obsessed with the whole Rishi tea brand and have bought several different flavors of their tea. Including: -Matcha Super Green (one of my favorites!) -English Breakfast (love with milk in the morning) -Masala Chai (great with milk or soy) -Jade Cloud (nice light taste) -Jasmine (beautiful flowery taste) -Sencha (clean and light) -Tropical Green (fruity and light) -Peach Nectar (smells like a fresh peach! Very good) -Blueberry Hibiscus (was just ok-not a fan of hibiscus) -Turmeric Ginger (this one I wasn’t crazy about, at all- it had a very strong turmeric taste that was off-putting) I went to the Rishi website and bought the Earl Grey and Matcha Super Green in bulk. 50 bags each. It was definitely cheaper than amazon. I made an account and also received a 15% off code.

The aroma is the best Earl Grey I have ever smelled. Tastes strong & wonderful

The smoothest earl grey ever . Sent a box to my sister who agreed 100 percent

I’ve received the product and have thoroughly enjoyed the best Earl Grey tea ever. I will now compare every tea to the Rishi Earl Grey tea. Definitively the Best!
