Harney & Sons Decaffeinated Assam Loose Tea, Assam, 4 Oz

Love this black tea, tastes so good, and decaf - exactly what I need in the evening hours

I've been looking for a good strong decaf for awhile now. Taylors Assam with stevia and milk/almond milk is one of my go to's for the morning or day time, but I've also had a lot from harney and sons that I like and keep on hand. I tried a couple decafs from Taylors and although there weren't bad, they were not what I was looking for. I tried Barry's, and a couple other brands after doing a bunch of research and review reading. I do like loose leaf tea but honestly I typically have my decaf at night when I just want to make something quickly to sit down and relax with so I was hoping for bagged tea. But, I've had some teas from harney and sons that I really liked so I figured I'd try this one and I'm very, very glad that I did. It's strong enough to stand up to sweetener and milk, or cream, and still has a nice, strong tea flavor. Of course with the loose leaf you can brew to your preferred strength, but I don't need to put a ton in in order to get the flavor I like. Bottom line- if you want a strong tasting decaf tea, this is the best I've found after trying several different brands. Makes a nice cup of tea, and I will be keeping this in stock now.

Fantastic tea! Lots of flavor in a sleep friendly decaf version. I drink this every night.

This tastes nothing like Assam tea and is so unpleasant that it went into the trash after one cup. A good giveaway that this company doesn't understand tea is that they boast about it being hand packed. Why in the world would packing a can by hand be a quality factor? Machines can do it just fine. Where expertise is needed is in the growing, harvesting and processing, also in purchasing quality tea to import. Nice little tin but because the tea buying was such a bad experience, I don't want to be reminded, so the tin went into the trash full of hand packed tea minus one serving. The one good thing about buying this awful tea was getting me to buy all of my tea directly from Halmari. It is the most heavenly Assam I have ever tried. Brewing it once removes the caffeine, so I save the leaves in the strainer for a cup later in the day, same wonderful flavor and no worry about the caffeine.

I give the tea itself five stars, but my overall rating is only four because sometimes it's not available and I have to skip a month on the subscribe and save. But when it does come, it's perfect. I use it at night and blend in a homemade mix of masala to make spiced chai.

Taylor's decaf Assam tea offers an excellent choice for those seeking a decaffeinated option without compromising on flavor. The fact that it retains most of the notes found in a quality Assam tea is a remarkable achievement. The tea likely displays the characteristic malty and robust flavor that Assam teas are known for. This suggests that the decaffeination process has been carefully executed to preserve the original taste profile of the tea leaves. It's commendable that the tea manages to provide some of the rich and full-bodied experience typical of a regular Assam tea. Additionally, Taylor's reputation as a tea brand often signifies a commitment to quality and taste, and it seems that this decaf Assam tea lives up to that expectation. Overall, Taylor's decaf Assam tea is a worthwhile choice for tea enthusiasts who want to enjoy the essence of Assam tea without the buzz of caffeine.

Game changer for decafe tea. If you are are true tea drinker and sick of grocery store decafe tea bags that look and taste like brown water give this a try. I put a little extra in the tea ball or pot and steep for a bit longer than 5 mins and this taste like an excellent cup of real caffeinated tea. I just ordered more varieties. For reference I'm doing 2 full measured teaspoons in a 12 oz mug.

yummy

Maybe my expectations were too high for decaf tea, but it tastes pretty terrible.
