Barry's Loose Leaf Tea, Gold Blend, 8 OunceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

Excellent tea, bold flavored and malty. And Barry’s loose tea can be brewed and successfully poured off without the need for a strainer, since the leaves sink to the bottom of the pot.

I decided to try it as a joke. It's the same brand tea that Mrs. Brown drinks on the TV show Mrs. Brown on the BBC. This tea is an AWESOME full flavored tea. A lot of people are picky about the tea that they drink. I bought the loose tea because I use a tea steeper. You can also buy it in regular tea bags also. Try a small order first. I think you'll love it!

I’ve seen several comments about how the tea looks. It appears to be rolled into little balls to me.When brewed, they unfurl. There has only been maybe less than a teaspoon of tea dust in the very bottom of the bag, and I have gone thru several bags. Which is quite acceptable to me, and understandable, given that it endures international shipping, and is a dry plant product.Flavor is very fruity, mild, pleasant and malty to me.But I am not a tea connoisseur, just a tea lover.MY method of brewing: Heat a 10 oz. Yeti cup with handle, Pour out about a half teaspoon of Barry’s tea into a Finum mesh brewing basket.Set it in the cup. Gently pour boiling water through basket. Lift basket up a couple of times until the color of tea is what I want. Remove basket.It may be possibly used again for another cup, depending on how much tea is in the basket.You can instantly SMELL it’s pleasing aroma.I do NOT get a strong tannin taste, unless I leave the tea sitting in the water too long.I drink mine plain, without milk and it is perfect for me.I think this brand is better than Taylor’s Gold. And definitely better than (not comparable to) anything I have tasted from USA stores.I have been in a long search for the perfect tea, and have found it here.

If you want a good strong brew

Im from Ireland and its wonderful to be able to purchase it here...Thank you you for a speedy delivery...

I discovered this tea while vacationing in Ireland and searched for a source in the U.S. as soon as I returned home. This is now my weekday morning tea. There are better (i.e. more expensive) teas, but I save them for weekends and special occasions. I like my tea strong. I brew it for 6-7 minutes with 212 degree water and I find it to be strong but not bitter. It holds up well if you use milk in your tea. Amazon has just recently started carrying it and they are cheaper than any other source that I know of. I just want to know why Amazon ships a 6" x 3-1/4" x 2-1/2" (48.75 cubic inches) package of tea in a 16" x 12" x 5-1/2" (1056 cubic inches) carton. This is not the first time I've received something in a box much larger than the item shipped. Guess that's why our Prime membership cost has risen to $99.

Love Barry’s tea mainly because of the rich golden color. I make my tea in a large teapot. Just throw in the loose grinds and let them steep 3-4 minutes. The tea settles to the bottom and none comes out in my cup. The taste is good. Not sure how many servings I get from a box but I’m guessing price per serving is kinda high. I would buy this again. I enjoy it

Item box was sealed, however the bag containing loose leaf tea was open in the box.
