Reddit reviews Davidson's Tea Bulk, Earl Grey, 16-Ounce Bag

I'm really a tea beginner, so if someone with more experience and knowledge comes along feel free to ignore me, but I just found an affordable earl grey on amazon.com for $15/lb. It's called Davidson's and I personally find it wonderful. The bergamot is much stronger than in other Earl greys I've had, which I really love!

Davidson's is another good brand on Amazon. Their Earl Grey is one that I always keep on hand, and it's hard to go wrong at around $15/lb.

It's similar to coffee in that it's brewed using hot water to extract flavor from plant material.

It tastes mostly quite different, however. Personally, I enjoy good coffee, but good coffee is much more expensive and time-consuming to make than good tea.

You can get tea quite cheaply, although high-end varieties command exorbitant prices. Here for example is what appears to be a decent Earl Grey (I haven't had it myself) for less than $1/ounce (keep in mind that an ounce is enough to make 14 cups of tea, assuming you use 2g per cup).

Tea is as easy to make as you want it to be. All varieties come from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Black tea is usually steeped once, as are flavored teas and herbal tisanes, so all you need to do is put the leaves in your pot or infuser, boil some water and pour it in.

Oolong and green teas can be more involved, since the high-quality ones can be steeped many times. Still, it's not all that much effort.

Mate and guayusa are rather different. They come from two different types of holly bushes - Ilex paraguariensis and Ilex guayusa respectively. They're even cheaper than tea, but you use a tablespoon or more per cup. They also have much higher levels of caffeine, generally speaking. Mate is traditionally prepared using a gourd, and drunk through a metal straw called a bombilla that has a strainer in it.

I really love the fandom blends. Adagio is brilliant for thinking that concept up.


Also I forgot to mention that Amazon has Davidsons bulk tea if you want to get crazy. I've heard the quality is pretty good, and it's 15 dollars for a pound. Which is crazy. Totally worth it, I think, if you really love a particular tea type and just want a boat load of it. They also have probably any type you'd want. I have my eye on the Moroccan Mint and the Earl Grey.


In the same vein, Harney and Sons also has bulk tea, like for the Paris tea.

Yeah your calculations are correct, the only problem is I use 2 teaspoons per cup of tea instead of 1 teaspoon because it produces a stronger tea that stands up to milk. So it'll cost me significantly more. On top of that, if I need 1.5 times that for cold brew, It'll cost even more.

I'm using Arbor Teas Organic Earl Grey which is at about 30 dollars for 1 pound, but I can also try Davidson's Organic Earl Grey off Amazon for about 15 dollars a pound. https://www.amazon.com/Davidsons-Tea-Bulk-Earl-16-Ounce/dp/B000SATIBO?th=1

But yeah, I think if I advertise just the tea as organic, I would be able to sell more, or charge a higher price.

Is this the Earl Grey Creme you are talking about? https://www.teasource.com/products/earl-grey-creme-black-tea?variant=7636916338724

I can buy a sample and see if it goes well with milk :)

Rich Geezer: Earl Grey Tea


Go to hell item: This ski hat perhaps?

Wavin My dick: Nothing! Suck it, Sigmund! But this tube must count, right?

Of 0s and 1s :Keyboard, definitely!


To solve world hunger, I need: Hmm, this book?


Pack this, Robinson:This is a toughie. I have a guitar, a Calvin and Hobbes, and a few drawing stuff. I think the Calvin and Hobbes would be best to curb the punishing loneliness.

Every item but the book are in the general Wl, the book, naturally is in the books WL!

I love Rostov's and have bought much tea there.

Because I'm a bad person, I've switched to buying Davidson in bulk from Amazon. I drink a ton of tea, and it's just a zillion times cheaper. Like I said, bad person.

Also this is on my wiahlist because earl grey is my favorite and this is the cheapest for the quantity. Figured I'd share this info with a fellow earl grey drinker. :)
