Darjeeling (Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Darjeeling Black Tea – Region: Darjeeling, India88 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 5th, 2024
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...

Special Blend from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend72 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 3rd, 2024
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.

Cardamon Tea (Cardamom Tea, Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 11th, 2021
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...

Aromatic Earl Grey from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 14th, 2020
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...

English Breakfast (Teabags) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend55 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 2nd, 2020
A classic English breakfast tea. Not too strong, nothing extraordinary, no tea to disagree with. But no tea to get hooked on!

Kalami Assam Indian Tea from Ahmad Tea
Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 30th, 2019
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, Hibiscus & Cherry from Ahmad Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 13th, 2019
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...
Peppermint & Lemon from Ahmad Tea
Style: Herbal Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 7th, 2019
I found a Middle Eastern store that carries a large number of Ahmad's teas and decided to try some of their herbal teas as well. As a brand, Ahmad has shown itself to produce high quality and flavorful products and this tea is no exception. Other than whatever "natural flavor" is included (I'm guessing primarily lemon ...

Style: Assam – Region: Assam, India85 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2019
Based on the previous reviews, I bought a pound box of this tea. Most of what I could say was already said by Alex in their spot-on review. I find that I get the best cup of tea by allowing it to steep for ten minutes or so.
Even with such a long steep, the bitterness is understated for an Assam. Though the tea gets...
Peach & Passion Fruit from Ahmad Tea
Style: Fruit Black Tea – Region: Blend62 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 5th, 2019
Both the dry tea and steeped liquor have a perfumy peach aroma that smells to me like peach Jolly Rancher candy (a discontinued flavor, sadly). There's just enough passion fruit to be detectable, but I bought this particular flavor for the passion fruit and am a bit disappointed that it isn't stronger.
The fruit fla...
Rooibos & Cinnamon from Ahmad Tea
Style: Rooibos – Region: Blend75 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 5th, 2019
Good quality tea. The rooibos and cinnamon have a good blend where the cinnamon is the undertone which gives it a nice after taste.

Special Blend (Teabags) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 28th, 2019
A local Middle Eastern market had a gift pack of this tea along with a free Ahmad tea mug for $4, so I couldn't pass it up. I decided to try it alongside the loose leaf Special Blend. One thing that I'll note is that, though I assume they're intended to be the same tea, the packaging on the bagged tea doesn't include t...

English Tea No. 1 from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 1st, 2019
The "subtle flavor of bergamot" is definitely subtle. I can't actually smell any bergamot in the dry tea. Instead, it smells entirely like a malty CTC Assam.
While the tea's brewing, I can just make out the citrus through the tea. I'm getting less malt than when dry, but much more dry, tannic, earthy leaf with a bac...
Strawberry & Cream from Ahmad Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 17th, 2018
A very sweet strawberry smell dry with a bit of vanilla, unfortunately it mainly tastes like strawberry tea when prepared.
It isn't bad strawberry flavoured tea though, really nice and drinkable but it doesn't really have any cream to it unless I add milk.
Pear & Cinnamon Strudel from Ahmad Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 17th, 2018
Amazing in all respects.
The smell is spot on for the dessert really breathing in the fresh baked pastry. The flavour is subtler than the aroma but you can still taste the spices and pear throughout.
At £4 for 15 pyramid bags is quite dear for tea bags however with most of this dessert tea range it is worth it f...
Strawberry Velvet Cake from Ahmad Tea
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 17th, 2018
Smells like a sweet jammy cake before steeping, a truly mouthwatering smell. After steeping the strawberry aroma subdued and less sweet. The taste itself mirrors the subdued aroma with the strawberry being the main flavour coming through with the tea.
15 pyramid bags for £4 is towards the higher end of what I'd usu...
Special Blend with Earl Grey from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend85 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 15th, 2018
The dry tea is quite broken and smells almost like Froot Loops. Unlike most Earl Greys, though, the aroma of the tea is discernible beneath the bergamot.
The brewed tea smells mostly of malt and bergamot. The tea tastes more bitter and astringent than I expected. Based on Ahmad's other teas, I was expecting the blen...
Ceylon (Ceylon Orange Pekoe) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon75 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 19th, 2018
A local Middle Eastern grocery store stocks several varieties of Ahmad tea, including this one.
The dry leaves are quite broken, with medium-small pieces. The aroma of the leaves is malty, but not particularly strong. Once the tea starts brewing, though, the aroma greatly intensifies. It's not as complex as some oth...
English Tea No. 1 from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend74 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 24th, 2017
This bagged tea didn't earn quite as high of a rating as Ahmad's loose-leaf version of English Afternoon, but it was very good. Oodles of bags of this turned up in my pantry in an unmarked tin (my wife likes it, apparently), so I figured to give it a try.
I could taste the bergamot a bit -- not as much as with th...
Ceylon (Ceylon Orange Pekoe) from Ahmad Tea
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 30th, 2016
I have no problem with Ahmad teas and the Ceylon is about as basic a full-bodied black tea as you can get. Better hot but OK iced as you can add juices, fruits or flavorings as you wish. Inexpensive.
Smooth, easy to drink and as Alex says - a "classic" cuppa tea.
Mango Magic (Black Tea) from Ahmad Tea

May. 2nd, 2016
I love this fruity-scented mango black tea that smells and tastes great! (No milk - ever!) Not even sweetener is needed. The super-strong black teabag can do 2-3 infusions easily!

English Afternoon from Ahmad Tea
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 11th, 2016
I didn't see a place on here for their loose-leaf version of this tea, but in general my impressions are the same (if more favorably numbered) than Alex Zorach's below. No tea on Earth is too strong for me, but I'll at least call this one worthy of the adjective "strong". The value ranking is the only thing holding i...

English Breakfast (Loose) from Ahmad Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 11th, 2016
My daughter came back from London with this tea packaged in little cubic tins featuring buses and other London sights. As such, my "value" rating is lower than it could be because she paid a tourist premium at a souvenir shop. I'd buy this without hesitation for normal American store prices.
One of the better lo...
