5.0 out of 5 stars Strong flavor, nice unsweetened
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024
I love this brand, I have MANY teas from them and they are all great quality and a lovely price. I’ve seen so many health benefits from consuming Moringa, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I have a very sensitive stomach, but this tea does not bother it. Very nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than good replacement for Twinings Earl Grey (loose leaf)
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020
Review for: Organic Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea 16oz bag (1pound), bought September 2020.

The underlying black tea is a good mix of Keemun and Assam. The Keemun makes for a lighter tea that does not drown out the Bergamotte oil, or force an amount that makes the tea taste soapy. Twinings itself has replaced most of the real Bergamotte oil with extract and their website doesn't say how much real Bergamotte is left. I still like Twinings Earl Grey, it's been my family tea for more than half a century, but knowing that this organic product uses only the real thing (2% organic Bergamotte content, as per ingredient list) is an extra star in my book. The tea that arrived was super fresh with an aromatic scent (expiry date end of January 2023), which is important as the bergamotte oil fragrance and tea aroma will evaporate over time.
The taste is a delicious, light to medium strength Earl Grey, great on its own or (for lighter taste) mixed with 1/3rd Darjeeling. If you are used to soapily strong Earl Grey variants or those made with Assam alone, you may find it too light. If you like Twinings, you'll probably like it alot.

I have not been able to do a direct taste comparison side by side, as I ran out of Twinings before this arrived, but as I am sitting here, sipping a cup of the hot, dark-golden liquid with a small teaspoon of cane sugar, tasting a well balanced mix of light black tea and bergamotte oil, I am letting out a satisfied sigh. I am finding this one to be an excellent substitute.

Update 2021: Had 3 1-pound-bags of this in the meantime, and all of them were perfectly aromatic and tasty.

Preparation instructions:
Serve in thin-lipped bone-china cups of approx. 6oz size (better sensory experience than mugs for delicate teas, see image).
Use 2 tea pots and a straining sieve: one pot to steep the leaves and another to strain the brewed tea into, in order to get the leaves out before they turn bitter.

Bring 3 cups / 24 oz of water to boil, pour over 6g (0.22oz) Earl Grey tea leaves while still boiling. The leaves should float freely in a pre-warmed tea pot. For less or more tea, just multiply or divide water and tea by the same amounts.
Strain after no longer than 3 minutes of steeping through a tea-straining sieve into the serving tea pot. (I am setting a timer to 2:40 min brewing time and don't stress over 20 seconds more). When I strain the tea, I either stirr the leaves right before, or let the leaves drip from the sieve after straining, to get all the full, concentrated tea. (if you accidentally steeped it too long, you can try decanting without stirring the leaves and it might save you from a bitter experience). I drink it with a little cane sugar and a piece of bread with something sweet on it, and thereafter, my brain starts working. If you are a Trekkie and have not tried what Picard's favorite drink really is about when properly prepared, this is it. If yours is bitter, you either use too much tea or you let it steep too long.

Oh, and I never use tea bags for black tea. It is filled with the tea dust that is breaking off from the properly dried tea leaves, the leftover after the leaves have been packaged. That tends to make for an overpoweringly strong tea, plus the dust tends to seep into the tea itself. Either that or (with luxury versions=filled with proper leaves) it does not have enough room for giving off its taste. Free floating is the way to go.
If you want to avoid the garbage getting all wet, just leave the used leaves to drip and dry in the sieve over the pot you used for steeping before throwing them away.

Disclaimer: this is the first time ever I bought this product. I have picked and paid it myself and have nothing whatsoever to do with either FGO, Amazon or Twinings. This is a pure tea enthusiast's review article and I hope you enjoyed it and your tea.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yummy! But bags break
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024
Best tasting RRL tea I’ve tried, however the bags are cheap, no string, and often break open while steeping. Made it difficult to make larger batches to cool as it became inevitable at least one bag out of 8-10 would break open into the whole pot :( still would buy again for taste and price/value

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2024
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this raspberry leaf tea. But it taste like a regular tea with a slight fruity-ish taste on the back end. Totally enjoyable! And will be subscribing! Easy to make, compact bags, great quality, no need to blend (just boil water & throw a bag in a cup, wait 5-7mins & drink).

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, warm, and Robust like a hug in a cup
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024
I like how this Chai tea has a robust flavor with a creamy texture. Each of the tea bags contains about one teaspoon of loose tea and I like to boil my water 100°C (212°F) first then pour it over the tea bag into my cup that holds 250 ml (8 oz roughly) and let it steep for about 5 minutes. This is my personal recommended time based on trial and error - with my goal being to extract the full range of flavors without any bitterness. Next let it cool then enjoy. If you like your tea sweet feel free to mix in some sugar, honey or sugar substitute packet. I personally don't need either to enjoy this tea but, I have others that I live with that find that one or two packets of Splenda keep it sweet without ruining the flavor.

FGO Organic Nettle Leaf Tea has a clean, natural taste that I really enjoy. The tea bags are eco-conscious, which aligns with my efforts to reduce waste. Plus, the 100-count pack is a great value for daily tea drinkers like me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Tasting Tea - Missing Bags
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2024
This is the first time I have ordered Hibiscus Tea. I found that I like the taste of the tea, but I share my bag with my boyfriend and when I was dividing the bags, I found there are 6 bags missing. I see that it states on the bag that the number of tea bags may vary, but I feel like the number of tea bags should be consistently 100 tea bags per bag. How hard can it be to give customers what they are paying for? If every bag is at least 6 tea bags short, guess how much money the company is saving? With the price of everything on the rise, I think the customer should get what they are paying for or the company should state exactly how many tea bags are in the bag.
