Tea lovers are just some of the nicest folks I know! This box of tea was dropped off at the office just last week by a lovely local woman I met at our Tea for Toys event back in December. She told me she became a fan of this tea while on a trip to England, and when she got back home she found she had to order an entire case of it if she wanted some. She did, and she shares!
I love the box design, and even the graphics on top are just lovely!
But most of all, I can now see why this tea was a favorite. It makes a nice strong brew, the perfect thing when you want a cup of straight-up black tea with no frou-frou flavorings, as I sometimes do. I was also happy to see the teabags are well-preserved in foil lined pouches and not those paper packets which seem to go flat sooner. If you've got to order a case of tea to enjoy this flavor, it's nice to know it will last!

Angela - I am happily surprised to see my favourite tea featured on your site this morning.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about this tea on my blog, Chances R, October 25, 2009, under the title "Polly Put the Kettle On". One of my later blogs also shows the Ahmad teapot I found at TJ MAXX in Louisville.
Happy English No. 1 tea drinking.
I haven't tried this type of Ahmad tea, but it sounds like something I'd like.
ReplyDeleteI'm heading to London in a couple of months so I will have to look for this tea! Thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteAngela, this looks like a tea I'd like to try. I like the design too. Have a great weekend, Joanie
ReplyDeleteI purchased a box of Ahmad tea in London because I liked the tin. I believe it can sometimes be found at TJ Maxx.
ReplyDeleteThis tea is everywhere in London! I recall seeing it in every shop, grocery, etc., when I was there a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe packaging on the teabag is pretty. I have had samples of this tea. I think I got them at the tea expo. They are long gone.
