Black Loose Leaf Tea - Rich in Antioxidants - Orange Pekoe Tea - Kenya Origin - Unique Flavor - 500g

Been using this for years. Makes a GREAT cup of English breakfast type tea (with milk). Nice and strong, good color and taste. Better than Typhoo, Twinings, or PG Tips. I like Taylor's Yorkshire Gold and Red almost as well, but not quite as much as the Kericho.

This is my favorite tea. It's very delicious

She liked it,(it wasn’t my cup of tea lol). Seemed like a quality tea! Good size container smelled fresh when I opened the bag.

Gold Crown Beverages’ Kericho Gold Pure Kenya Tea in tea bags is my favorite. I make 1.5 L of that tea in my Breville Tea Maker by putting five tea bags in it’s basket infuser. I decided to try the whole leaf tea. It tasted bad. The claim of whole leaf is wrong. This tea contains large bits, medium-size bits, and small bits of tea leaves. The small-size and some medium-size bits pass right through the Breville Tea Maker’s infuser giving me undrinkable tea with suspended tea leaf bits. I switched to manual brewing using an infuser with small openings. The small-size bits passed through the infuser giving me tea with suspended small-sized bits. The suspended small-bits-only tea still makes the “whole leaf tea” undrinkable. You can’t get a refund on tea, so I wasted $15.

It took a little while to come in, but was worth the wait. It’s a delicious and strong tea. It tastes like a refined Kenyan the tea is formed into small balls similar to an Assam. I find 1tsp per 8oz with a 4 minute steep to be good though a 3:30 steep would cut down on the bitterness if you prefer a lighter tea. Seems to be high in caffeine, but that’s a very subjective measure and there are no actual measurements. If you like their bagged tea and want something a bit more refined this is a good pick. Make sure you have a bag or tin to put the tea in. It came in 2 foil packages that are not resealable. Remember- tea is light sensitive. I hope you enjoy if you get it!

Not being a tea fan, I thought I'd expand my horizons by trying a version of Kenyan tea. I had some Kenyan tea sent to me by a friend years ago that was the tastiest tea I have ever had. Unfortunately, I don't remember the type or the name, so I have no idea how to find it now. I ordered a box of loose Kericho Gold Premium tea in hopes of re-experiencing my tea sensation from years ago. Unfortunately, this tea didn't come close. It's a relatively smooth tea, but even when brewed strongly, has little discernible taste to me. Perhaps this is because I am a coffee drinker? I will continue to treat myself to an afternoon cup of Kenya tea until I either develop a taste for it or empty the box. Take this review with a grain of salt, especially if you're a tea connoisseur. Nothing against this particular brand or variety of tea, but it just didn't live up to my expectations. Time, however, could change that!?

Makes a very rich and robust cup of tea. Very tasty.

Excellent tea! Although not graded, this looks like a BOP which is meant to be brewed strong and balanced with milk. If you want to drink tea without milk, then you want a whole leaf tea. I am Sri Lankan and we love our Ceylon tea, but this is just as amazing!

I love the product. That cup of thee is my everything. I look forward to that moment everyday.

Very surprised how good this tasted for a CTC tea. The picture is deceiving as it show full size leaves but it is definitely small granules like one reviewer said. You get a lot of tea for the price. It's not gourmet but i'd compare it to Yorkshire Red loose tea which I drink a lot. It's strong but not too strong and It's not bitter. Steeped for full 5 mins. I am quite picky with my teas. I've tried Vahdam black teas and they were good but for the price I probably wouldn't buy again (except for the Himalayan Green, that one is delicious but another category). I find Twinnings good but too weak. Yorkshire gold is good also but quickly gets almost too strong and a bit bitter. Overall i'd says this is a steal for for the price....on sale for $7.99 CAD.

My favourite tea. We lived in Kenya for a few years and always drank this brand. I’m so pleased to have found it here. It’s really strong so a little goes a long way....good job for the price!!

My wife is Kenyan and really loves this tea. I surprised her with this purchase and now she doesn’t want any other tea anymore.

Rich full-bodied flavour. To make a single cup you need but a 1/4 teaspoon of the tea - yum!
