There is nothing wrong with the tea itself. We are great tea drinkers and stick to this brand. We would prefer to have it in larger tins to reduce packaging. The collection of small tins over the years is phenomenal! Years back we used to get it locally in 4x the size.

I drink relatively weak tea - actually using less than a coffee spoon of tea leaves per pot of tea - black with some sugar. I have not found a tea which gives a delicate and not over-powering tea product and was really disappointed when Australia did not import it. However, contacting importers in the Eastern States who gave me details to contact in Britain, received my order just a week after contacting and ordering. Amazing service for an amazing product

Orange pekoe is my favorite type of tea and I am unable to find it in the country where I currently live (they're really big on Earl Gray). So finding orange pekoe through iHerb has been a blessing. I really can't tell you what the difference is between black tea but I can taste it.
