Tip: This has a foil liner. Consider using kitchen shears to cut just the tip off the corner of the foil liner. You can then pour the tea into another container as though pouring through a funnel without the spillage that happens if you fully open the foil liner then try to pour or scoop the tea. It may be a little slower but there's no cleanup time so I think it's faster overall. Or, I've just used the tea in this box without real airtightness and the tea survived well that way but I've given in to recommendations for airtight storage while I'm not actually convinced it is necessary.I love the flavor of this tea. I make my cups of tea using small pour over coffee screen/cone I found here on Amazon. I set the cone into a cup I've filled with hot water and let the tea soak a minute. I gave up on purpose-sold tea canisters as the one I liked the appearance of and tried had problems. Also, I realized I don't want clutter on my counter. Now I'm keeping some of this in a short mason jar with a plastic screw on lid inside a cabinet (for the dark) and the remainder, the opened box, inside a plastic storage bag in the same cabinet. .

This tea is delicious! Not bitter, very refreshing and price is great! I also appreciate that it is loose tea! Will buy from now on, Good bye Lipton!! This tea is what is called cut tear and curl (CTC)a process that is done to the tea leaves to make it brew better, this is why it looks crumbled! It’s a great tasting non bitter tea, only needs 5-10 min brewing time to pour over a glass full of ice for iced tea

Great tea. Super fast shipping.

Not loose leafs as stated. Looks more like ground particles.

When I first opened the package, I was a little skeptical because the tea, instead of looking like tea leaves, looked like pellets of freeze-dried instant tea! However, when I made my first batch of iced tea, I was amaized! This tea tasted like tea use to taste, years ago! It is a wonderfully flavored tea. I'm hooked! This is great tea!

It’s tea

This is NOT loose-LEAF tea. It is small pellets about 1/16th of an inch in size. It may taste okay—I'm making some for iced tea now—but it is NOT in LEAF form. I am extremely unhappy with the appearance of the tea.UPDATE-- I've brewed 6-8 half gallons of this tea. The taste is OK. But it makes a tremendous amount of tea dust that is too small to filter out. Overall, I'd not suggest this to anyone.

If you are expecting this to be actual tea leaves you will be sorely disappointed. The product looks more like black sand. So I would say that it has been processed in some way to create the sand like texture instead of the whole leaf. If that bothers you I would pass on this product.As far as flavor goes it tastes like black tea.
