Is this a pure black tea, or, are there added fragrances and oils? I ordered your Earl Grey tea to make Kombucha, but it has bergamot orange oil.

Earl Gray is indeed a tea flavored by bergamot, but this Irish Breakfast is not flavored with any additional ingredients to my knowledge. It's just black tea and the blend is very tasty. Different teas grown in different countries have different flavors just like wine grapes have a 'terroir' based on where they're grown. I don't know which countries grow the tea for this Irish Breakfast blend but it has a super stand-alone taste.

It is delicious pure and simple just as it says it is no added oil's or fragrances. Enjoy!

Just pure tea. Usually Irish Breakfast is a blend with Assam predominanting. It's a strong, full-bodied tea meant to be drunk in the a.m. Earl Grey is an afternoon tea, usually with Bergamot but sometimes lavender added for fragrance. Other fragrance teas include Prince of Wales and Princess or Lady Mary. Scottish Breakfast is another strong, pure tea but with a smokey flavor. English Breakfast is usually a little milder. Enough information?

It looks and tastes pure to me. No added fragrances and oils as far as I can tell and I've been using it for nearly a year now. Early Grey is typically made with bergamot orange oil so that's probably why it was added.

I love the smell and taste of this tea. The scent really wake me up in the morning or a little pick me up in the afternoon. As far as the benefit of the kombucha, Its questionable. Real live cultures Kombucha tea brew locally will have 10000x more potency. Been using this for 2 years daily now. Enjoy!

It is not black tea. It's a taro flavored milk/smoothie mix. I use it with soy milk & ice.

I am so sorry! I don't know. I don't consume tea. I did Google Kombucha and found that there are some kits you can buy. I use the lid to make saurkraut and kimchi. All my best. Nadia

I wouldn't say the taste is quite strong. The smell is VERY strong. It had a bit of a chemically taste to it (if that makes sense). It really did not taste like any earl grey I've ever tasted and I don't mean that in a good way. I even like the smokier earl greys. Did not like this one bit. Returned!

Twinnings pales in comparison. I used Davidson Earl Grey at my High Tea for the Earl Grey fans and they were in complete agreement that this Earl Grey is superior to any they have had before. Davidson should put me on thier payroll!!!

this may be normal as I am unable to smell your packet for myself I can not be 100% sure. Its normal to have a perfume to this tea as the tea is batched & bagged well to seal in the normal tea scent. It can have a little more of a floral scent than the english breakfast due to the fact the english is a blend of tea from more than a single country. Also the larger leaf size will retain more scent & flavor. Suggest you make a couple of batches of fresh tea. Also put some aside in another container to see if smell moderates. If this does not please you suggest you contact Davidsons with the details on the package to see if any problem with this particular batch. this may be normal as I am unable to smell your packet for myself I can not be 100% sure.

This product contain only 100% pure green tea powder. There is no black tea in this product. The company also makes an organic black matcha tea that contains powdered black tea. The ingredients for this product are listed on the first line of the Supplements Facts label and it states: Organic Matcha Green Tea"

My last box was the same. I think Amazon must have made a mistake. Hope they can get you the right thing. There is really no other tea quite like it.

yes, I have used it to make my own Earl Grey for over 10 years. Put on loose tea not in your tea cup or it will probably be too strong.

I think Lyons might be a little stronger with more of a roasted flavor. Taylors of Harrogate is still a strong, full-bodied black tea but with a very warm, golden flavor when brewed correctly Melanie

This brand of oil is 100% pure; I don't think there is anything added. You can add essential oils to use argan as a carrier oil. You can add any other oil to this that you may want to use for your skin such as tea tree or anything else. I love this oil!

All it says on the tin is natural and artificial flavors. As in most teas, it is not very specific. Sorry!!!

I have found Bu's Brew to be versatile, but not by using half a tea bag. For example, I steep one tea bag in a 1/2 gallon container, then mix it with plain water when watering target plants. That has proven successful. I should add that I like Bu's Brew A LOT. The results I get with it are better than other products I've tried that were also touted as environment-friendly.

I think you're referring to the black can, at least it's black on Amazon for me. That one is 100% Arabica beans. This is a blend of Arabica/robusto/Indian. It will have a chocolaty undertone and tastes bold, yet smooth if extracted right. If it's over extracted, it can be a bit sharp and bitter. I've never actually tried the black can though. I did get Blu once, and that was really good. Didn't care for Qualita Rossa. That one was too burnt tasting to me. Not as sweet.
