Republic of Tea- teas

I much prefer loose leaf tea to bags, I refuse to buy bagged tea. However, while looking at the Republic of Tea website I have seen some varieties that only come in bags that I feel I need to try.

But I don’t want to be really disappointed. How do their bags fare?

Frankly I have never been too impressed with their teabags. Every time I buy a can I always end up regretting it.

I echo Amy’s sentiments. Their bags are pretty sad. I love some of their flavors, especially their green rooibos blends, but, really, it takes 2 – 3 bags per cup to really get a flavorful cup.

I order most often from Republic of Tea, and I’ve been just as happy with the bagged teas as I have been with their loose teas. I’ve tried probably thirty or forty different teas of theirs, and I’ve only had a couple I wasn’t crazy about.

Which teas are your favorite?

My top five are probably ginger peach, blackberry sage, big green hojicha, tea of inquiry (a genmaicha), and cranberry blood orange.

I’ve only tried one of theirs (the green pomegranate, I think it’s called) but I really didn’t like it.

Although that was back in the days before I understood things like fannings and water temperature and steep time, so I’d toss two bags into an 8oz cup and let it steep forever. Not the best way to go.

I was thoroughly addicted to their Good Hope Vanilla Red Tea Bags at one point. This was long before I got into loose leaf tea though. I can’t remember exactly how I’d make it, but I think two bags was always a must.

It appears this particular blend is available in loose leaf as well, so I may need to give that a try sometime soon!
