Good taste for loose leaf tea
This Organic Red Raspberry Loose Leaf Tea is very good. The taste is smooth and mild, reminiscent of black tea but without caffeine, making it perfect for any time of day. The quality is evident – it’s USDA Organic and Non-GMO. The resealable bag is a thoughtful touch for freshness. Highly recommend for its health benefits and flavor

More than good replacement for Twinings Earl Grey (loose leaf)
Review for: Organic Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea 16oz bag (1pound), bought September 2020.The underlying black tea is a good mix of Keemun and Assam. The Keemun makes for a lighter tea that does not drown out the Bergamotte oil, or force an amount that makes the tea taste soapy. Twinings itself has replaced most of the real Bergamotte oil with extract and their website doesn’t say how much real Bergamotte is left. I still like Twinings Earl Grey, it’s been my family tea for more than half a century, but knowing that this organic product uses only the real thing (2% organic Bergamotte content, as per ingredient list) is an extra star in my book. The tea that arrived was super fresh with an aromatic scent (expiry date end of January 2023), which is important as the bergamotte oil fragrance and tea aroma will evaporate over time.The taste is a delicious, light to medium strength Earl Grey, great on its own or (for lighter taste) mixed with 1/3rd Darjeeling. If you are used to soapily strong Earl Grey variants or those made with Assam alone, you may find it too light. If you like Twinings, you’ll probably like it alot.I have not been able to do a direct taste comparison side by side, as I ran out of Twinings before this arrived, but as I am sitting here, sipping a cup of the hot, dark-golden liquid with a small teaspoon of cane sugar, tasting a well balanced mix of light black tea and bergamotte oil, I am letting out a satisfied sigh. I am finding this one to be an excellent substitute.Update 2021: Had 3 1-pound-bags of this in the meantime, and all of them were perfectly aromatic and tasty.Preparation instructions:Serve in thin-lipped bone-china cups of approx. 6oz size (better sensory experience than mugs for delicate teas, see image).Use 2 tea pots and a straining sieve: one pot to steep the leaves and another to strain the brewed tea into, in order to get the leaves out before they turn bitter.Bring 3 cups / 24 oz of water to boil, pour over 6g (0.22oz) Earl Grey tea leaves while still boiling. The leaves should float freely in a pre-warmed tea pot. For less or more tea, just multiply or divide water and tea by the same amounts.Strain after no longer than 3 minutes of steeping through a tea-straining sieve into the serving tea pot. (I am setting a timer to 2:40 min brewing time and don’t stress over 20 seconds more). When I strain the tea, I either stirr the leaves right before, or let the leaves drip from the sieve after straining, to get all the full, concentrated tea. (if you accidentally steeped it too long, you can try decanting without stirring the leaves and it might save you from a bitter experience). I drink it with a little cane sugar and a piece of bread with something sweet on it, and thereafter, my brain starts working. If you are a Trekkie and have not tried what Picard’s favorite drink really is about when properly prepared, this is it. If yours is bitter, you either use too much tea or you let it steep too long.Oh, and I never use tea bags for black tea. It is filled with the tea dust that is breaking off from the properly dried tea leaves, the leftover after the leaves have been packaged. That tends to make for an overpoweringly strong tea, plus the dust tends to seep into the tea itself. Either that or (with luxury versions=filled with proper leaves) it does not have enough room for giving off its taste. Free floating is the way to go.If you want to avoid the garbage getting all wet, just leave the used leaves to drip and dry in the sieve over the pot you used for steeping before throwing them away.Disclaimer: this is the first time ever I bought this product. I have picked and paid it myself and have nothing whatsoever to do with either FGO, Amazon or Twinings. This is a pure tea enthusiast’s review article and I hope you enjoyed it and your tea.

Good taste and aroma
The overall rating seems to be for the brand, i.e., for various types of tea from the FGO brand.This review is for FGO Organic Sencha Loose Leaf Tea, Resealable Bag, 16oz.The flavor and aroma are good.However, it does appear to be fairly low-grade tea, since there are small twigs scattered throughout, and the leaves range from powder to a typical size for tea leaves.I think the quality of Davidson’s gunpowder green tea is a bit higher, but I’ll buy whichever appeals to me at the moment — and has the lower price, since they’re both satisfactory and acceptable to me. After all, they’re different styles of green tea.

Absolutely Divine & Guilt Free
I cannot recommend this lemon ginger tea enough! The flavor is perfectly balanced – zesty lemon meets warming ginger in a way that’s both refreshing and soothing. It’s great for an afternoon pick me up (especially if you have it iced) or a calming bedtime ritual.I also love that it’s organic and eco-conscious AND has sustainably sourced ingredients. Knowing I’m enjoying a product that’s kind to the planet makes each cup that more satisfying.

Refreshing and Soothing: Organic Lemon Ginger Tea for Wellness!
Itâs become a daily favorite! The balance of zesty lemon and spicy ginger is perfectârefreshing and invigorating, yet soothing on the stomach. I love that itâs made with all organic ingredients, so I can sip it knowing Iâm getting a clean, natural beverage without any artificial additives. The tea has a gentle warmth thatâs perfect for relaxing after a meal or as a morning pick-me-up. Iâve also noticed that it helps with digestion and provides a nice, calming effect, especially when Iâm feeling a bit under the weather. The flavor is bold but not overwhelming, making it the perfect choice for anyone who enjoys a slightly tangy, aromatic tea. Overall, itâs a wholesome and delicious way to enjoy a cup of tea while benefiting from the natural properties of lemon and ginger!

Excellent smell and flavor!
I usually buy fresh ginger and make my own tea. I decided to give these a try to save some time. These are worth the try! This tea tastes just like I made it fresh. I usually steep 2 tea bags in my big travel mug for work. However you like to drink your ginger tea, this works! Just plain tastes great or with a splash of lemon and a dash of monk fruit is how I like mine! The flavor is everything youâd expect from fresh ginger.

Love the tea;Hate the new square tea bags
I live the hibiscus tea. Itâs tart but not so tart that I need any sweetener. The latest bag I purchased came with square tea bags, maybe less expensive than the cute little round ones I had received in earlier purchases. I noticed a medicinal, almost bleach-like taste in my first two cups. So for the third cup, I cut the bag and emptied the tea into a stainless steel tea strainer – the tea tasted perfect. Iâm quite disappointed with the new square bags. Iâll continue to take this extra step but hope the manufacturer returns to the round bags.

Iâm absolutely hooked! The flavor is incredibly fresh and soothing, with a perfect balance of minty coolness and a hint of natural sweetness. It’s incredibly refreshing, whether enjoyed hot or iced, and has a wonderfully calming effect on the mind and body. I also love knowing that itâs made with organic ingredients, free from any pesticides or artificial additives. Itâs become my go-to drink after meals, as it aids digestion and leaves me feeling relaxed. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a natural, refreshing tea option!

I use these lavender buds Mainly, to make my own chamomile, lavender, nighttime tea and not only is thr flavour very good(strong so dont use alot) but i feel like the oils are well preserved because i can feel a relative difference in that calming feeling im hoping for when i add the lavender to my chamomile. So its strong in effects as well.My niece loves Lavender (cuz her uncle does so much) so we use it for arts and crafts like the classic “glue and sparkles” art, except this is more “organic/enviro friendly” and like she mentioned “her art is pretty and smells pretty!” So 5stars from me and my 7yr old niece :p
