Welsh Brew Tea, Tea Bags, 40-Count Package (Pack of 4)

I discovered Welsh Brew tea a couple of years ago at my local grocery store in the "international" section but they haven't been able to keep it on the shelves consistently so I'm happy to find it here at Amazon. I'd been looking for a more mellow, less acidic tea for many years and this is it. In comparison, PG Tips is very acidic to my taste. It made a good strong cup, I could even say it had a "sharp" flavor, but it left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Welsh Brew leaves no bitter aftertaste. It's smooth and leans toward the sweet side of tea flavor. As another reviewer put it, it's a good "anytime" tea. I'll add that it's delicious by itself and needs no accompaniment like milk or sugar but works well with those if you wish to add them.

What's good about this:

1.) It's a lot of tea--forty bags in each box, and four boxes in each unit. If you drink two cups a day, it will take almost three months to use all of this up.

2.) This is strong, dark tea with lots of caffeine.

3.) The print on the box is half in Welsh, half in English. It's very cute, and I have no idea how to pronounce any of it.

What's not so good:

1.) The tannin content is so high that you can feel it in your teeth, even when it's cold.

2.) The tannin content is so high that if you let it steep for more than about thirty seconds, you'll be tasting tannins all day.

Steep for a very short period of time, and this is a very strong, flavorful tea that's actually inexpensive; reminiscent of Twinings English breakfast tea, with a strong bite, a little goes a long way. It's bitterly yummy.

Welsh Brew is an excellent anytime tea. We have been drinking it for years and are delighted to find it again on Amazon. We have had it on our list for notification of availability and were pleased to see it return. This is a tasty tea with lots of flavor and is great with sugar and milk.

My only complaint is that it seems it is often unavailable for order.

Update: 11.11.10 We have now been waiting for a month for it to be available again. I signed up for the Subscribe and Save program for this item and the cost is wonderful. If it would just become available again I would be happy. We are down to our last box of tea.
