↑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.

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!

Ahmad Tea provides some of the best values in entry-level loose leaf tea out there.
Their Kalami Assam beautifully exemplifies all that we adore about Assam teas. The leaf aroma is malty, earthy, and slightly vegetal.
I used 1 tsp per cup infused for about 4 minutes. Brew is richly brown and copper in the cup. ...
Rosehip and hibiscus is my favorite herbal combination, so when I decided to try Ahmad's herbal teas, this was a natural for me.
The dry tea smells like cherry juice and sawdust. Brewed, the cherry is still prominent, but the rosehips and hibiscus add to the aroma. The cherry flavor adds too much sweetness to the fl...
