It took a little while to come in, but was worth the wait. It’s a delicious and strong tea. It tastes like a refined Kenyan the tea is formed into small balls similar to an Assam. I find 1tsp per 8oz with a 4 minute steep to be good though a 3:30 steep would cut down on the bitterness if you prefer a lighter tea. Seems to be high in caffeine, but that’s a very subjective measure and there are no actual measurements. If you like their bagged tea and want something a bit more refined this is a good pick. Make sure you have a bag or tin to put the tea in. It came in 2 foil packages that are not resealable. Remember- tea is light sensitive. I hope you enjoy if you get it!

Makes a very rich and robust cup of tea. Very tasty.

Very mellow and great to combine with other stronger teas

Gold Crown Beverages’ Kericho Gold Pure Kenya Tea in tea bags is my favorite. I make 1.5 L of that tea in my Breville Tea Maker by putting five tea bags in it’s basket infuser. I decided to try the whole leaf tea. It tasted bad. The claim of whole leaf is wrong. This tea contains large bits, medium-size bits, and small bits of tea leaves. The small-size and some medium-size bits pass right through the Breville Tea Maker’s infuser giving me undrinkable tea with suspended tea leaf bits. I switched to manual brewing using an infuser with small openings. The small-size bits passed through the infuser giving me tea with suspended small-sized bits. The suspended small-bits-only tea still makes the “whole leaf tea” undrinkable. You can’t get a refund on tea, so I wasted $15.

I have been familiar with Kericho Gold black loose tea since past 35 years, and I loved it from the very start, because of its heavenly aroma, colour, and flavour. However, sad to state that the one bought from Amazon for some reason has disappointed me- the quality of the product has deteriorated to a great degree.That wonderful aroma is missing, and the flavour compromised !

Excellent tea! Although not graded, this looks like a BOP which is meant to be brewed strong and balanced with milk. If you want to drink tea without milk, then you want a whole leaf tea. I am Sri Lankan and we love our Ceylon tea, but this is just as amazing!

Fabulous tea. Best ever

This is absolutely the best black tea I have ever had! I picked up some in Kenya last year, and was pleased to find that I could purchase it on Amazon (albeit MUCH more expensive than buying it in Kenya). If you like full-bodied tea, bursting with flavor, this is the tea for you. Does not take very much at all to make a very strong cup of tea, so this package will last a LONG time. The package I purchased in Kenya was half the size, and lasted about 5 months. I was pleased to find the larger package sold by Amazon has two separate foil packages, so freshness is ensured. I did have to purchase special sieve-like tea infusers with extra tiny holes to steep this tea in, as it is extra fine. Here is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K73LVVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
