Davidson'sTea Bulk, English Breakfast, 16 OunceUSDA Organic

Like you, a glance at the reviews included random reviews for Gunpowder tea mixed with reviews of Pumpkin Spice tea. Crazy. Here's a "few" of these that I have tried:Organic Spiced Raspberry Decaf: This is a family favorite, since the kids usually only have decaf tea at night. The color is a brown / black blend, with the contents having good substance (not dust or all ground up). The tea is a black tea, with both an aroma and taste of raspberry. Nothing fancy, just a nice tea. RECOMMENDED.Organic Assam Banaspaty: Dark brown tea leaves, again with good substance (rolled leaves, not dust or all ground up). Wonderful earthy smell, maybe with hints of cherry. We use this for black tea, and for masala chai (e.g. "iced chai") tea. Wonderful. RECOMMENDED.Organic French Vanilla Decaf: One of my favorite decaf teas. Wonderful vanilla smell and flavor. Dark brown tea with some light brown stuff mixed in. RECOMMENDED.Organic Grew with Lavender: I haven't tried this one, but it's one that my wife enjoys quite often. It is in the same general family as a "Lady Grey", but Lavender instead of Bergamot. Quite a powerful lavender nose on this one! (I can't recommend this without trying it myself.)Organic Peach Apricot Essence: This is a nice black tea. Somewhat subtle on the flavor, although it is definitely there! Nice substance to the rolled dark brown tea leaves, with some light hints mixed in that must be the bits and pieces that add the flavor. I use this extensively for iced tea, adding a large ball of this in addition to the Lipton quart-sized iced tea bags that I use for the bulk of the work. (The resulting iced tea is fantastic!) I've only had it hot a few times, and it's also very good that way, of course! RECOMMENDED.Organic Pumpkin Spice: This is one that I've only had a taste of, but it's very popular in our household. I'm guessing that only half of the content is tea leaves, with cloves and various corns of unknown types and bark and roots and who-knows-what mixed in there. A wonderful nose on the tea mix itself (probably dominated by the cloves?), although not necessarily predictive of the taste of the finished tea itself, which is a predictably nice fall brew. RECOMMENDED.Organic English Breakfast Decaf: A medium to dark brown blend of rolled tea leaves with a very muted nose. Far softer on the nose than I would have at first expected. We have a lot of English Breakfast tea fans here, so it was natural to want the decaf version available, and I haven't often seen a loose leaf English Breakfast Decaf. I've enjoyed a few pots of this with the family in the evenings, and it's a nice tea. RECOMMENDED.Strawberry Essence: A recent purchase. Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Likely destined for use in iced tea.Singell Darjeeling: A recent purchase. Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Destined for use in masala chai.Happy to have the "organic" aspect, and using the new CO2 method of decaffeination instead of the old chemical process. All of these teas have been big hits with the family. Honestly, really pleasant taste. Surprisingly good considering the low price. No feathers or other strange contents discovered thus far.

I am not a tea connoisseur but I have been drinking tea since I was a small child as it has been an ethnic family tradition. Having said that, I do look for good teas and I haven't had an easy time getting Lapsang Souchong lately when shopping. Many of the Asian stores within an hour or so drive have not been stocking it and I was weary of ordering this tea online for many reasons. I am glad to run I to this brand. It has a rich, smoky taste that I enjoy and is also grown organically. I will definitely order again.

OMGosh, what can I say about this tea? It is DELICIOUS to begin with though I was not purchasing it for the flavor. It is so nice and comforting when drinking this tea and because of the ingredients, you get nicely relaxed. I am at least I am able to drift off to sleep quite easily. The cinnamon notes in it are not subtle, so the tea is more herbaceous than most herb based teas. And it brews up into a beautiful cup of tea. It is sweet on its own and does not require sugar or honey. I love the scent too. When you open the bag you are greeted with a lovely blast of cinnamon. The tea makes you think of fall when you smell it. I drink it year 'round so do not mistake it for a "holiday" tea. It is a delightful tea with great side effect of helping you relax.

I was trying to find a herbal tea replacement for green tea due to esophageal issues from the tea acid. Read reviews that this was a good option. Brewed it and combined with fresh mint - it’s a mild taste very much like a green tea. So happy I chose this! Great substitute if you like iced tea but need less caffeine and less stomach irritation. One pound is a lot but the price is really good.

Lots of tea for the price. However, I had to use twice as much loose tea as I usually do because not much flavor. It doesn't taste bad and was fresh.Was looking for a nice loose leaf decaf. I'm not sure I would buy this again.

I just tried this brand because it was organic and at a good price. My blood pressure was a little elevated so I decided to drink this to help lower it. It tastes so good and it's a beautiful color!! Great antioxidants in this tea!

Excellent loose leaf tea!! I originally purchased this to use in an earl grey spring-themed cake and it turned out amazing. Super flavorful, not bitter. Very high quality and fresh with a beautiful taste. I cannot have caffeine so I am *thrilled* this is available in decaf. Makes perfect London fogs, I make at least one cup every day. Worth every penny!

I've bought this tea five times so far. It's mostly a great tea. You open the bag and the smell is righteous. Just the last couple of bags, it smells like hyper-strong cinnamon or maybe a chemical. Not sure. By and large this tea is great. Love real leaves and spices, not that tea dust you get in the grocery stores.
