↑About Ahmad Tea
Ahmad Tea is a London-based tea company. The company started out selling tea produced in Gilan, Iran, across central Asia; in 1986 it first opened an office and factory in the UK. The company has since expanded to sell a wide variety of teas, with a global distribution.
Ahmad mostly sells styles of tea popular in the UK and central Asia, including English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Darjeeling, a few green teas, and a number of fruit-flavored teas. Ahmad also has a few black teas that are lightly-scented with Bergamot, making them similar to but distinct from traditional Earl Grey blends. The company sells both loose-leaf tea and tea bags, with some blends only available in one format or the other.
In the UK, Ahmad tea is mostly available only in stores. In the U.S., their teas are available through a number of different online retailers which are listed on their website. Their teas are also widely available in middle-eastern import stores. Ahmad tea is one of the most popular teas in Iran.[1] The company has separate websites for their main (UK-based) operation and their USA branch. In addition, there are products not listed on either site. We list all such products on our site: when possible we link to the UK site, using the USA-one as a fallback, and linking to Amazon's product pages if neither are available for a particular tea.
Ahmad Tea is a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership.

This tea is really good! It has a nice bready aroma and a delicate but full bodied flavor with chocolatey hints. The only reason I'm not giving it an even higher score is that it is a bit basic, however I still love basic teas when they are really high quality and good like this one. This tea is not too astringent or b...

Found this at an Armenian market, $14 for 500 grams. The leaf is very dark. The brewed tea is a dark amber color. It has a slight bitterness, but to me tastes as most regular Earl Grey teas.

One-litre pot at home, made from loose small black leaves of Ceylon, sprinkled with cardamom flavouring. Pours slightly hazy dark copper brown (against white china) with nearly no sediment. Clear aroma of black tea leaves and cardamom, with mild malty touches. Ditto flavour. Astringent palate with a leafy aftertaste an...

I'm not sure if this is actually different than plain "Earl Grey." According to the Ahmad US website, "Aromatic Earl Grey has a slightly lower dosage of bergamot when compared to Earl Grey," but the Aromatic Earl Grey is only sold in large containers (454g or 500g) and the largest Earl Grey package is 250g. The UK webs...

A classic English breakfast tea. Not too strong, nothing extraordinary, no tea to disagree with. But no tea to get hooked on!
