Taster’s Review:
You know, I really love it when a company treats me right. I – like so many others – am a sucker for good customer service. I guess that’s because I have experienced (all too often) mediocre service, and even the occasional bad service. These types of experiences make me more appreciative when I find a company that goes above and beyond to ensure that my shopping experience with them is not only satisfactory, but exemplary.
Teatulia is one such company. I recently had an issue that I brought to their attention. Instead of jumping to defensive measures – they chose to adopt the good, old fashioned idea that “the customer is always right.” They immediately offered me a solution that not only made up for my issue – it went above and beyond my expectations!
This commitment to providing excellent customer relations, as well as their dedication to providing fresh, delicious tea while continuing to be a champion for the environment is truly awe-inspiring.
And to exemplify their dedication to fresh, delicious tea, one need look no further than their signature blend – Black Tea. This tea is rich and flavorful. It is a very pleasant, hearty tea that would serve well as a breakfast tea as well as a nice afternoon tea. It would also be quite nice to serve to guests!
It has a very pleasing, even flavor that is neither too harsh nor too understated. There is a faint tone of delicious sweetness that I quite enjoy. This sweetness is intensified in the second infusion, and because of this, I highly recommend steeping these leaves a second time! The second infusion is not quite as bold as the first, but, the caramel-y sweetness in the second is enchanting!
This is a good, solid tea. This would make a perfect “go-to” tea; a good staple to keep on hand! It takes well to milk and honey too, if you would like to add it, and would make a delicious iced tea as well.
Teatulia has become a name that is synonymous with excellence!

Taster’s Review:
OK right off the bat, I have to say that I really like Teatulia. They are dedicated to environment – even to the extent of revolutionizing their packaging to eliminate waste. Just check out the homepage of their website, and you’ll see what I mean!
This is a brisk, inviting breakfast tea. It starts off smooth, which leads into a slightly brisk and slightly bitter taste and recovers with a sweet finish that is almost honey-like. The bitterness is not strong at all, and does not interfere with the tea flavors; I think it actually enhances the tea because the sweetness seems to come through just a little bit sweeter and tastier than it might have without it.
I must admit, though, that I was expecting something different when I first tasted this tea. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting, but with a name like “Bengal Breakfast” I expected something stronger and bolder than what is in my cup at the moment. That is not to say that it isn’t a delicious tea – it is! It just is not as invigorating as some of the breakfast teas I’ve encountered, and not as stout as I personally envisioned it to be (maybe I was thinking Bengal – Tiger – rough and tough and raring to go?)
While I enjoyed this tea hot, I think it would make a very nice iced tea as well. Because of its somewhat clean and mild character it would take well to whatever additions you might like to add – from milk and honey, to flavored syrups, to just a simple slice of lemon or lime.
