Organic Positively Tea Company, Assam TGFOP Black Tea, Loose Leaf, 16 Ounce

Underrated but Epic
2 years ago, I purchased Positively Tea’s Assam which is really nice stuff (definitely higher up on the quality compared to others) and at an amazing price. 1 pound of tea goes a long way, so now that I am out of Assam, I was in the market to buy more tea.I really was torn between buying this Nilgiri tea or more Assam. Their Assam is highly rated/popular, and I know I love it. Plus it’s cheaper at $17.95 compared to the much less rated Nilgiri which is lower quality FBOP (broken) at $18.95. Nilgiri doesn’t have nearly as strong a name as Assam does across all brands and borders. Perhaps it’s a supply/demand thing for the price/quality discrepancy. I don’t know. In any case, it was a bit of gamble investing into a pound of this Nilgiri.I am really happy I bought this tea. It has a flavor I have never experienced in a tea. It isn’t as malty or quite as strong as Assam teas are, but it stands really high. The flavor is still pretty strong, but it has a pleasant spice to it that reminds me of coca cola. I brewed it for 5 minutes at just under boiling, and it had almost no bitterness. The company advertises that it goes perfectly as iced tea and I can already tell that this is the case.Positively tea described this tea exactly as it came to me. I would definitely buy again and think it is for sure worth it to anyone who wants to try a new tea. I think this tea is highly underrated and worth exploring into.Update** Summer 2022 Assam varietyI bought another bag of their Assam which I last purchased in 2018. Back then I loved it, and the new bag in 2022 is the same as far as I remember. Its got the classic strong malty flavor of an Assam tea but also quite bitter with lots of astringency compared to other Assam teas I have had. I enjoy it most served hot with no additions in a tiny cup. Very eligble for milk or sweetening if you’re in to that.If you wish to brew this for iced tea, you definitely want to add a small dash of baking soda to it. I posted a picture of what it looks like with baking soda vs not. The baking soda prevents it from getting cloudy when cooled. It also curbs some of the bitterness which helps mellow it out. For me, it’s borderline undrinkable on its own without the baking soda (when served cold/over ice). Other tea brands/varieties hold up better when iced. If you’re looking at making iced tea, I’d recommend Vahdam English Breakfast loose leaf tea. It’s a step higher on quality/price and has a great flavor. The flavor actually improved the longer I had it. Also less bitter than this Assam.

Great for the price
I’ve been drinking this almost daily since 2016. It’s a good daily drinking tea for this price. It’s not as delicious as the teas I occasionally buy that are $60 a pounds, but it is a lot better than other teas I’ve found at this price

A Refreshing Delight
From the first sip, the Peach Black Tea is a delightful journey for the taste buds. The robust flavor of black tea provides a sturdy foundation, while the sweet and fruity notes of peach dance lightly on top, creating a harmonious blend that is both invigorating and soothing.The aroma is a prelude to the experience, with a fragrant bouquet that promises refreshment. And it delivers – each mouthful is like a sip of summer, no matter the season. It’s the perfect companion for a morning wake-up or an afternoon pick-me-up, versatile enough to be enjoyed hot for a cozy feeling, or iced for a cooling effect.What truly sets this tea apart is the natural sweetness. There’s no need for added sugars; the peach flavor is just right, providing a guilt-free indulgence. It’s clear that quality ingredients are used, as the tea leaves are full-bodied and the peach flavor tastes authentic, not artificial.In conclusion, Peach Black Tea is a must-try for tea enthusiasts and casual sippers alike. It’s a cup that brings a smile with its uplifting flavor and a sense of well-being with its antioxidant properties. A stellar example of what flavored teas should aspire to be, it’s a beverage that I’ll be returning to time and time again.I hope this review captures the essence of what makes peach black tea a delightful choice! 🍑
