Ahmad Tea Reviews

I like the vitamin and cold brew teas, had no issues with the order

It is only some chemical flavors and colors. The universe's lowest quality tea.

I have loved Darjeeling tea since visiting Darjeeling some years ago. I saw a box of Ahmad Darjeeling Tea in a local shop and was so pleased. What a disappointment. So weak, and no Darjeeling flavour at all.

Great tasting tea , have drank this companies various types of tea for years. Cannot fault the taste and quality. Five stars are not enough for the product. Customer service, sadly has gone . Had various issues this year culminating in delivery by DHL not being made. Due to this delivery company and response by customer service, I won't purchase direct from them at the moment. Internal training and change of delivery company is needed. Great tea , terrible customer service.

Ordered on the 11th today is the 17th, my order is nowhere, messaged facebook, emailed, no answear, phoned them up and the lady said shebworks eith a different departnent but there was no option to choose from 🤷‍♀️ and she said somebody will call me back and nobody called... now they closed... never ordering again!

I drink tea all the time and have tried so many different teas and honestly Ahmad Tea is one of the best I have ever tried. The best quality tea in my opinion. They some more tea to try as a gift ( that's not the reason why I'm giving this review 😅) Since I discovered them, I'm only buying Ahmad tea from now on. The best tea! 🍵❤🥰

I purchased the Evergreen Selection box thinking that 60 teabags with varied flavours of green tea, was value for money. Unfortunately, the box is worth no more than £2 never mind the £8 paid given that the only half decent flavour was the green tea and mint combo. The rest didn't taste like any of the flavours they were supposed to. Very weak and of poor quality in general. The packaging is nice but that's where the positive aspect ends. I will never purchase any teas from this company again and don't recommend the brand. There are much better brands of tea out there.

Great tea, comes with spoon as a small gift. Happy with their collection!

Thin “Special Blend” Tea not Meeting expectations. Unfulfilling QC response. Four years expiry date set unrealistic or just a lowered Quality standard as compared to earlier times of tasty fulling Ahmad Tea and customer centricity. Rather disappointing.

THE EARL GREY ALMOST UNRECOGNIZABLE, VERY WEAK FLAVOUR OF BERGAMOT, THE BLACK TEA ITSELF AGAIN NOT A PLEASANT TASTE. BEEN ALWAYS USING STASSEN, I'LL BETTER STICK TO IT IN THE FUTURE.

Delicious beautiful tea

Tea is OK, but watch out for old stock. Just paid full price for tea that was packed two years ago! I raised it with Ahmad but was told that to return it I would have to pay for postage. Selling tea that is already two years old with no warning, then expecting me to pay to return it, is somewhat shoddy.

Among the many tea collections offered by Ahmad Tea, I am familiar with the English Scene collection of loose black and green teas. There are seven varieties of which I have tried five: English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Ceylon, Darjeeling and Jasmine Green - each variety most commendably named for what it is, without fuss or pretence. On the outside, the English Scene collection come in graceful caddies for which refill packets are available. These stackable caddies are a fine example of simple elegance and practicality. The 100-gramme caddies are made of good-quality tinplate and are shaped into a gently-curved oval barrel with flat sides not unlike an upturned oval wine cask. Each caddy is a plug-lid tea tin as it has a plug lid with a recessed lip which makes the outside lid flush with the tin body. The plug-lid design gives fairly tight sealing but without the fuss of double lids of the tight cylindrical tins. The tinplate is gold-lacquered on the inside and gloss-painted on the outside. The front, the back and the lid are embossed with a golden crest of a teapot with more than a passing resemblance to Aladdin’s lamp but spelling "Ahmad Tea London". The collection-defining English scenes, identical on the front and back (useful symmetry!), are genteel paintings of London landmarks (Hyde Park, Houses of Parliament, Horse Guards Parade, St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Bridge), mercifully free of the saccharine excess of many a chocolate box. On the inside, loose-leaf tea is of good or very good quality and comes in impressively hermetic foil bags. It is quite an experience to break open such a bag, especially for scented varieties like Earl Grey or Jasmine Green - the outburst of aroma is unforgettable. I have tasted all five tea varieties by using water purified with a high-quality ZeroWater filtration system and by brewing in fine-bone china mugs with stainless-steel, fine-mesh infusers. Pristine water, immaculate china and long-handle infusers allow controlled and unhurried release of colour and aroma so that the right balance of strength and flavour is achieved. All loose leaves are cut and dried in such a way that no tea dust escapes through the infuser mesh. English Breakfast is a solid middle-of-the-road blend and it deserves its "Good Taste" star, awarded in 2020. Earl Grey is sensational and it is a shame that it has not got any stars; having drunk many a version of the bergamot tea, I would happily give Ahmad's Earl Grey three stars. Ceylon does live up to its "premium Ceylon leaf" by-line: it is delicate but expressive, with a lingering lemon aftertaste. Darjeeling has always been my personal favourite and I have tried many a version (including first flush, second flush, single estate etc) and each quality Darjeeling tea has to be brewed to perfection by trial and error. In my opinion, Darjeeling is the champagne of the teas and Ahmad's Darjeeling does not disappoint by offering the expected subtlety, remarkably achieved at first brewing. Finally, Jasmine Green is a worthy sister of Earl Grey with beautifully fragrant jasmine; I am, however, more partial to black rather than green tea. Last, but not least, Ahmad UK's customer service is prompt, courteous and attentive - even the packing person was identified by a handwritten label I found when my box of caddies and packets came. You can't go wrong with Ahmad's English Scene collection and the caddies are a delight. It also is a good value for money, especially when compared with other vendors who claim special quality but - more often than not - offer inflated prices and brand names instead.

Great selection and verity of tastes. Love this tea...
