Clipper Fair Trade Organic Earl Grey Tea, 20-Count (Pack of 6)

OK, I love this tea. It tastes amazing, so I refuse to give it the 1 star I'd like to because of the packaging.TL;DR: The product description should have said these are individually wrapped. "20-count" was the clue I didn't notice.So, I'm from England, and silly me assumed this was packaged the way Clipper Tea in England is packaged - 50 large teabags all together in a foil bag. Well, no - these are teensy tiny bags in individual wrappers. Not only does this give a much larger environmental footprint, you only get 20 teabags per box instead of 50, and each teabag has next to NO tea in it. If you like you tea like dishwater, awesome! If you like a real cuppa, one you can stand your spoon up in, don't bother - import from an expat site. You can of course use 3 teabags per cup (admittedly, I use big 20oz cups - it's fusion teamaking, American travel mugs meet English tea) and get only 6-10 cups out of the box, which I do, but yeah, not cheaper than an import of proper tea. Clipper tea with normal bags from England can cope with a 20oz brew without needing to double up at all. Sadly, this version just can't. End of story.

I came across one box of this tea in a local Mexican grocery store (no kidding), bought it, and loved it. Never saw it again. I've read some accounts of people saying they've seen it at Big Lots (!) on occasion. Clipper's web site suggests they don't distribute in the USA at all. So finding more of this stuff was a bit of an obstacle course, at least until I checked Amazon.Anyway, it's my preferred Earl Grey. I disagree with one of the earlier reviewers that the bergamot flavor isn't that strong. To me, it is, but that could be individual variation in taste buds, y'know? I find it more noticeable than in other Earl Greys I've tried, I'll say that. Contrast that to Twinings, who claims to own the Earl Grey recipe, but whose Earl Grey tastes like plain black tea to me.One star off, not because of product quality, but because of having to order online instead of just picking it up at the store. C'mon, Clipper, get it in gear over here!

I agree with other reviewers that this tea is very weak. I bought the earl grey, and there is virtually no bergamot flavor to it. Frankly, there's not a lot of tea flavor at all. I like to open my tea bags and smell the aroma of the bag before I start steeping it. There is, again, virtually no aroma coming from these bags. I gave it three stars for being fair trade and organic, but I will definitely be buying a different brand next time.

I am an iced tea drinker and was an avid fan of Paradise Tea for over 25 years. But they were recently bought by conglomerate Sara Lee and now their tea is not the same. On a recent vacation, I made iced tea using the hotel's Eark Grey. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was! When I returned home, I tried a few different Organic Earl Grey teas. I actually found Clipper at Home Goods! It is THE BEST. I ordered a case of six in Amazon and haven't looked back. I make it every day and pour it over ice. It is so refreshing. I just love it. And love it even more because it's organic!

I bought this tea when I was living in London. I liked the one in the UK better, it was a bigger box and the tea bags were a bit bigger and didn't have the thread and all that. The tea is ok, but I have the impression the UK one had a bit more flavor. I also don't fully understand why they shipped it only a month after I ordered it. But otherwise, great value for the price.

Not the strongest bags, but 2 will give you a nice pot of tea. Not the strongest Bergamont, but that's not always a bad thing -- not everyone likes it strong.And good value for money.

I don't know what type of tea this actually is, but it's definitely not earl grey.We buy a lot of early grey teas of many brands/types. This tastes nothing like earl grey. It's just "just okay" to drink, even if you're not expecting it to taste like earl grey. After a few tries, we now just choose other teas over this one.Unfortunately we have a million of them (6 boxes of 20 in this order!).Maybe we can bathe in it... but it's not being used for drinking!

I have tried all different brands of Earl Grey and this is my absolute favorite! I was glad to be able to get it by the case.
