Brodies Tea, Russian Caravan Tea, Loose Leaf Black Tea Imported from Scotland, 200g Bag (Pack of 1)

I think this may be the best of the Scottish Afternoon Teas of the different brands. Sure, it makes a great cuppa black tea any time. It’s a smooth, robust tea with great flavor. But, it makes the best ice tea I’ve ever tasted. I mix it in a large canning jar, maybe a quart size or larger, throw in 3 or 4 tea bags, and fill the container with hot tap water. Then it goes in the refrigerator and brews itself. Perfect.

I love Famous Edinburgh tea! I prefer loose leaf, but that is difficult to come by affordably right now, so I’m happy for this option. This tea makes an awesome cup of hot tea AND iced tea! But I like it best hot with frothed milk—the great taste is not overwhelmed by the milk. A perfect cup of tea for a start to your day!

Best Scottish tea sold. Love that deep oaky flavor.

I love this tea, great flavor and it always reminds me of my trip to Scotland.

The flavor is pretty good, it's definitely not the best cup of tea I've ever had, far from it, but it hits the spot considering I've had bad luck with amazon teas recently. It tastes pleasingly strong and holds up well to a bit of milk. I havent tried it with sugar so I cant tell you if that would wash away the flavor or not, but I suspect it would still have a distinct black tea taste and not just that of watered down sugary milk, which is a problem with a lot of teas sold on Amazon. It definitely taste stale, this tea has definitely been through its share of middlemen. The main problem I have with it is this is sold as "loose leaf tea" but these arent leaves at all, these are pebbles. I included a photo in this review taken right from the top of the bag. Rice Krispies are about 3 times the size of one of these tea pebbles. They do not unfold after being in water like a rolled Oolong either, I'm not entirely sure what these things are. It said "Fine Teas" on the package and I guess what it meant was "teas so fine you will need to strain them through cheesecloth to prevent them from escaping into your cup by the dozen." I will say that they do at least hold their shape, whatever they are, so they arent like the macerated tea dust you get from the factory floor that's in lots of bagged teas. You will definitely need some kind of measuring scoop for these, you simply can not take a pinch from the bag without losing half of what you took. For $11.89 (or ~1.35/oz) it is a good value for what you're getting and it is good enough to be there for breakfast if you decide to skip coffee. Don't expect anything fancy, this is a simple workhorse black tea for those on a budget who prefer loose tea over bagged.

Far and above any milder bag tea I have ever drank.It is a smooth, soothing hot tea treat.It has its own unique flavor unlike any other.It has gotten a little pricey. But what hasn’t?So I wait for a great sale before I buy it.If it would go on sale more often, I would buy it more frequently.

Brodie's Scottish Breakfast tea has become my favorite tea. I suffer from loss of taste due to COVID-19 and am now unable to distinguish between a lot of teas that I used to love. However, I am able to taste this strongly flavored tea and enjoy it with sugar and a splash of milk in the morning.

Bought this on vacation originally. Can’t live without it.

Bought this for someone abroad and was told it is a great tea with great flavour. Great service

We attended the Edinburgh Tattoo as a hospitality guest within the Queens box and were given this tea brand as a gift. We fell in love with it so we brought more and more.The tea is smooth yet full bodyed, easy drinking with the morning toast or afternoon cake.

An excellent tea, although I really prefer Brodie's Famous Edinburgh Tea.

Great tea
