Sadaf Earl Grey Ceylon Black Tea

This uses Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka rather than Chinese black tea, which gives it a gentler, more malty character. Tea enthusiasts specifically note that the Ceylon base makes it smoother and less astringent than some other Earl Greys, while still delivering that robust, full-bodied flavor Earl Grey lovers expect.

The bergamot is definitely present and noticeable—multiple reviewers mention its 'strong bergamot presence' as a standout feature. It's aromatic and rich without being overpowering, giving you that classic Earl Grey character with enough intensity to shine through milk if you add it.

Absolutely. This is one of those rare finds where quality meets affordability. Reviewers consistently praise it as 'excellent value,' with several noting it punches well above its price point. You're getting loose leaf Ceylon tea with strong flavor and fresh aroma without the premium tea shop markup.

Yes, this is actually a great starter loose leaf tea. It's forgiving with steep times (anywhere from 5-15 minutes works), simple to prepare (just 1 tsp per cup), and delivers consistent results. Several reviewers mention it's their go-to for impressing guests precisely because it's hard to mess up and always tastes good.

Think bold, aromatic, and full-bodied with that distinctive malty Ceylon character underneath the bergamot. Reviewers describe it as 'robust' and 'rich'—it's not a delicate, subtle tea. You get strong flavor, fresh quality, and that classic Earl Grey experience that works great both plain and with milk or sweetener.

One long-time customer mentioned the quality might have declined slightly over the years, and another noted it's not quite as robust as brands like Ahmad. That said, these are minority opinions—the overwhelming majority find it strong, fresh, and excellent quality, especially considering the price point.
