I have had the birchall great rift breakfast blend in the prisim bags before, do these taste the same?
What is the use buy date on these tea bags please as most reviews are long dated?
Why are there so many tea bags in a box that have not been sealed
Why does it say that it works out at 6p a bag, when clearly 5x80=400 / £24 = 16.66666666666667p per bag

We must like it as we've bought it 6 times!
Like a lot of food and wine taste is subjective. You either like it or not. Personally I do and my wife is VERY fussy about her tea and she likes this better than most. At nearly £6 a box of 80 its not cheap, however the quality is consistent and the taste fine. There is a little tale to tell on how we discovered this tea, it was on a visit to Kew Gardens in London for a wedding anniversary trip last year, the restaurant there served this tea and we liked it so much I tracked it down and here we are.......

Makes a lovely cuppa
My husband first had this tea in Harris & Hoole cafe at Tesco. He liked it so much we asked what it was and he hasn’t drunk anything else since. Loves it. Personally, I’m a coffee fan but there you go!

Taste has changed recently - far weaker
We loved this specific blend since I discovered it for myself when working in London seven years ago. The last three deliveries though have ended our love affair. It tastes weaker and there is a different feel to the bags. Shame but excited to be on a mission to discover a new brand for the next seven years. 😎

Makes a great brew
This is great tea! Expensive, yes, but to me worth it . I have converted a few friends to it too .

Not for me
Unfortunately for me the Great Rift tea was a mistake on my part. It's probably no better than one of the more common bulk teas sold in supermarkets. Maybe it was just too strong for me? I had also at the same time bought the Pfunda tea (much more expensive), which was superb! You obviously get what you pay for.

Expensive
Emergency tea shortage solved but at a cost. Tastes OKbut we drink weak tea so little better than supermarket tea.

Simply irresistible
My wife first tried it in a local cafe and she has been ONLY drinking tea this brand ever since. Very strong. She even recommend it to her colleagues and few of them also fall in love with it.

Fast shipping and excellent packaging. The Leatherman tool feels very premium and sturdy.
